Investments have an emphasis on scalable solutions for significant problems in Latin America aligned with the United Nations SDGs

Investment Themes

Inclusion

Economic growth in Latin America has driven a notable reduction in poverty over the last decades. Nevertheless, high levels of social and economic inequality persist bringing disparate access to basic goods, services, and opportunities.

Many of these challenges have deep structural and historical roots, providing large opportunities for innovation. Looking ahead, innovation through technology can bestow meaningful solutions that can be accessed by millions of people proving that growth and inclusion can be mutually reinforcing.

For this reason, we seek to partner with technology startups providing solutions that offer large populations better access to finance (fintech), education (edtech), work opportunities (human resource technology), property and living solutions (proptech) and healthcare (healthtech) for these underserved market segments.

Climate Innovation

Our world is suffering the impacts of climate change due to the increase in carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions over the last decades. Global temperature levels have now risen almost 0.9º Celsius above the historical average.

Impacts such as warming oceans and acidification, shrinking ice sheets, sea levels rising, extreme weather events, disappearing biodiversity, and massive migrations, are only some of the effects that make this an urgent issue to address.

The global shift towards responding to climate change is challenging the business-as-usual status-quo, and will continue to become a vital role in our path towards resilience. We aim to channel capital towards the development of resilient innovation-driven solutions for climate change impact with the help of startups brave enough to fight global warming, fostering positive change for our world. Consequently, we seek to partner with technology startups providing solutions in the areas related to agriculture (agtech), clean energy, and decarbonification.

Business Productivity

Latin American companies have faced many structural roadblocks that inhibit their productivity. SMBs and enterprise-level companies are encountering barriers such as manual processes, underdeveloped and non-scalable digital infrastructure, outdated technologies, and increasing regulatory compliance.
