LATAM's venture capital ecosystem in 2026

Venture capital in Latin America has matured significantly. With funds such as Kaszek, ALLVP, Magma Partners and Platanus, more capital is available than ever.

Before talking to investors

  • A clean cap table — know who owns each percentage
  • Assigned IP — all intellectual property transferred
  • Co-founder agreements — vesting, roles and commitment
  • Corporate structure — a Delaware flip if necessary

SAFE vs. Convertible Note

SAFEs have become the standard for pre-seed and seed rounds in LATAM.

Due diligence

Investors will review incorporation documents, the cap table, contracts, IP, compliance and financial statements.

Your reaction helps us prioritize what to cover next.
