Investment thesis
BICE Ventures operates as the corporate venturing unit of Grupo BICE, combining a company builder and a corporate venture capital strategy. Its company builder identifies frictions and business opportunities in the financial ecosystem, designs business models and MVPs, and co-creates ventures using the BICE network for clients, distribution, financing and partnerships. On the venture capital side, it invests strategically in Chilean or Latin American startups looking to enter the Chilean market, currently holding several active investments and having achieved its first exit when portfolio company Bemmbo was acquired by Buk. It also develops strategic alliances connecting Grupo BICE with leading companies.
