Investment thesis
MatterScale backs early-stage 'Latin' startups—defined by having a Latin American founder or target market—based in the Americas. It invests from pre-seed to Series A in companies applying technology to democratize essential services such as education, healthcare, financial services, security, and employability for underserved populations. The firm sees the global demand from people traditionally left behind, who are willing to pay for quality accessible services, as a massive venture opportunity. It writes checks of $150K to $750K and can build syndicates with its LPs for larger rounds. MatterScale prioritizes founders committed to strong teams and a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, assessing company culture during diligence.
