- Natural leaders.
- Ambitious.
- In a word, Formidable.
What are our investment criteria?
Do we invest in specific sectors?
Yes. We are focused on Fintech, The Future of Commerce, Smart Cities, Foodtech, and Human Capital (HR, EdTech, and HealthTech).vWe are dedicated to these sectors due to their relevance in solving some of Latin America’s hardest problems while also facing industry-specific opportunities to democratize access to these services. Within each of these, we look for companies targeting large markets.
In which rounds we typically invest and what is our typical investment?
We mainly focus on investing in Seed and Series A rounds, and sometimes Series B. Our ticket sizes range from $1 to $10 million dollars. If all goes well, we try to invest in multiple rounds. However, we love to start building relationships early in a founder’s journey, no matter the stage. If you already have a team and a rough idea, it is never too early to reach out to us.
Do we lead investment rounds?
Yes, we only invest if we can lead or co-lead rounds. We don’t just write a check. We are firmly committed to the partnerships we have with our portfolio companies. That means we build long-term relationships, and we want to be your ally. We ask for a board seat and dedicate significant time to securing your success. Because of our selectivity with whom we commit for the long run, we make fewer investments than a typical early-stage investor. However, the quality of our picks are second to none.
Do we only invest in Mexico?
No. While many of our investments are in Mexico, we invest in companies targeting Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. We firmly believe that the talent and resources to build great companies can come from anywhere, so we are always looking for the best founders that will bring huge change to our region. We back companies from Spanish-speaking Latin American countries because that is where we can add the most value through our robust network, unique market insights, and local expertise.
