We build self-sustaining social impact.

The venture studio solving LATAM's fundamental problems for people to thrive, not just survive.

Creating startups that empower microbusinesses with technology.

Microbusinesses are everywhere in LATAM. Yet, it's a bold move for a venture studio to target those who traditionally have no cash to spare.
Our ventures make use of Ed-, Food-, Clean- and Beauty-Tech to strengthen microbusinesses along the value chain.

Their solutions create jobs, social mobility, and foster a more circular economy - all of which are fundamental to LATAM’s sustainable development.
