Frutero DevRel — Services & Events

You activate builders.
We make them stay.

DevRel-as-a-Service for Web3 protocols. The persistent retention layer that turns one-time hackathon participants into long-term ecosystem contributors.

You have a retention problem.

You spend $50K sponsoring a hackathon. 200 builders participate.
Two weeks later, 95% are gone.

Builder activation without retention is burned money. Without persistent post-event engagement, developers try your tech once and move on.

Lost builders = lost opportunity

Frutero is the fix.

The persistent retention layer that keeps builders shipping on your protocol.

Frutero doesn't organize events — we build talent pipelines. Our DevRel-as-a-Service model covers the full builder lifecycle: from first university contact to mainnet product shipping.

What Makes Us Different.

🌎 LATAM Native

Born and operating in LATAM — not a US/EU agency running remote campaigns. We know the culture, the builders, the terrain.

🗣️ Bilingual Bridge

Native Spanish and English. Zero cultural friction between your protocol and LATAM's builder community.

🔄 Retention as Core

Other agencies activate. We retain. Post-event engagement is baked into every service — not an afterthought.

👥 1,000+ Builder Network

Direct access to an active, vetted network of builders across 15+ countries. Not cold leads — warm community.

🚢 Shipped Projects

We measure success by what gets deployed — not impressions, not attendees. Real products on real chains.

🎓 University Pipeline

Systematic recruitment from top LATAM universities. Fresh talent funneled directly into your ecosystem.

Trusted by leading Web3 protocols.

We've partnered with protocols across the Ethereum ecosystem to activate and retain builder communities in LATAM.
