Investment thesis
Overboost's central thesis is that corporations grow when they collaborate alongside startups rather than above them, bridging the gap between entrepreneurial invention and corporate strength. It positions itself not as a consultant, standalone fund, or accelerator, but as a 'bionic arm' grafted onto companies to help startups become lasting corporations and help corporations rediscover startup-like boldness. The firm operates across three fronts (culture, business, brand) and five instruments spanning corporate venture funding, rapid proof-of-concept validation, corporate innovation programs, agriculture-technology pairing, and a large regional innovation event. It works with major corporate partners across Latin America to run pilots and invest in founders rewriting corporate value chains.
