Latitud Ventures Materials

Discover how we are disrupting LatAm's startup ecosystem


Note from Latitud

Hello, Hola, Oi,
The Latitud Fund is a top tier early-stage fund investing across Latin America, sourcing and backing the best entrepreneurs from the region. Our strategy is to index the top emerging founders in the market, following the premise that Latin America’s startup ecosystem is growing at an exponential pace. LatAm raised $15b dollars of capital in 2021, more than triple the invested capital of 2020.
Our Ventures arm is a key component to help Latitud achieve its vision to elevate the startup ecosystem of LatAm by providing community and infrastructure to help founders.

Background on the Latitud Fellowship for founders (LF)
Latitud has become THE place for founders to start (and grow) their ventures in Latin America, primarily due to the Latitud Fellowship.
The Latitud Fellowship is the first startup community connecting all of Latin America, built by experienced founders:
We launched the program in November 2020. Since then, more than seven hundred founders have come through the equity-free program.
The fellowship is a 6-week, highly curated, equity-free program for early-stage founders across the region. We run a rigorous admissions process to find (as early as possible) top talent from across the region in all verticals - from former CTOs of top LatAm firms to 2nd-time founders, Silicon Valley ‘big tech’ alumni, and MBA grads from top global schools.
The community is supported by impressive mentors who are top founders and operators in Latin America and Silicon Valley. We run 25+ live sessions per cohort, providing office hours and hands-on tactical advice. Our cohorts have +100 startups from Latin America engaging with mentors, peers and the Latitud team.
In just over a year (and to this date - Feb 2022), teams that came through the fellowship have already raised north of $250M, at an aggregate valuation above $1.5B. We have no doubt this is just the beginning of a long journey for them, and us. 


This creates the perfect platform to launch a fund
How do we get amazing deal flow? By having a great top of the funnel activity.
  • The community helps us create a “credible index” of pre-seed and seed founders in Latin America. During the 6-week fellowship program, we get to mentor, evaluate and then invest in the best. Some people call this “God-mode” for deal flow. We prefer to see it with a ‘give first’ lens.
  • The community, PR, Marketing efforts around the fellowship also attract the interest of startups outside the community, that might be fundraising.
  • Tier 1 funds see the value that we add to the community, so they invite us into hot deals that they are leading, to help bring on other value-add investors.

How do we assess startups? By being Fast, First and leveraging the community.
  • Our Ventures team focuses on two premises: Fast & First. We need to get first to the startups we assess in the pipeline, ideally before they are fundraising. This allows us to be fast when it comes the time to make an investment decision.
  • We recognize we are not experts in every vertical, geography or business models. We have a decentralized approach to our decision making process by combining our pattern recognition, with expert tech operators and mentors of our community, to help us understand the feasibility of the companies.
  • The founder fellowship provides an unfair advantage to assess startups, considering we have multiple daily touchpoints with founders to build a proper profile.

How do we win deals? By being the most collaborative fund out there.
  • We ‘give first’, through our fellowship programs. 
  • We will introduce startups to the top funds in the region and the world. We can do this because we don’t lead rounds, and don’t compete with them - plus our check sizes are relatively small, representing low dilution.
  • We teach fundraising and we’ve curated a fundraising playbook that has helped companies like Pomelo, BHub, Finkargo, Floki and many others raise substantial rounds.
  • We invest small tickets, ranging from $50k to $250k for a target of 2% ownership on average.
How do we drive top tier returns on investment? By staying humble. 
  • We put our egos aside when making an investment decision. Investments require hard work, smart strategy, humility and perseverance.
  • Our strategy is to index the early stage market, maximizing the probability of having an outlier company return outsized returns following the power-law principle.
  • We invest at lower valuations in most of our deals, vs other funds. We can do this by being fast and first.
  • We co-invest with Tier 1 funds, which provides access to rounds that have been de-risked.

We charge a standard total 2% in management fees - 1.8% Latitud, 0.2% AngelList admin fee. (Note: up to Q1, the fund didn’t charge traditional management fees to its LPs, but in its place it retained them every time it executed an investment. We’ve now transitioned into standard fee collection)
