Investment thesis
Imagine Ventures describes itself as a 'finance first impact firm' investing in early-stage Latin American startups that combine attractive financial returns with measurable social, environmental and economic impact. It focuses on the future of work and the environment, backing founders addressing labor-market gaps through AI adoption, upskilling/re-skilling, the silver economy, digital inclusion and wellbeing, as well as circular economy, green finance, cleantech, water treatment and regeneration. It seeks pre-seed and seed companies showing initial traction and product-market fit, led by globally ambitious, diverse founding teams with at least one technical founder. Backed by over 12 years of ecosystem experience spanning incubator and accelerator to VC fund, and an AI Opportunities Fund alliance with venture studio MindColab.
