Investment thesis
BuenTrip Ventures grew out of experience building a leading startup ecosystem in Latin America and aims to help talented founders from non-traditional markets gain access to capital, knowledge, and community. As founders turned investors, the team emphasizes that startups need more than money to succeed and positions itself to understand founders' needs firsthand. The firm also seeks to share its regional expertise with others who find investing in Latin America challenging without local knowledge.
