Investment thesis
Sur operates as a hybrid builder and investor, primarily backing technology companies. On the building side it creates ventures such as a Colombian mobile carrier, Bitcoin computation infrastructure, and privacy-preserving AI. Its investment portfolio spans crypto and web3 (wallets, blockchain security, MEV mitigation), fintech and lending across Latin America, climate and clean energy (direct air capture, wildfire prevention, water risk), developer tools, AI, gaming, and consumer businesses. Sur also allocates to other funds focused on web3, climate, crypto, and early-stage Latin America, and supports non-profit and regenerative agriculture initiatives, reflecting a broad, opportunistic and often Latin America-connected mandate.
