Investment thesis
Wollef partners with technology founders who are transforming Latin America. The firm emphasizes candid, direct feedback and long-term relationships over political correctness, believes in continuous learning and self-awareness of its own biases, and values independence and integrity over external validation. It has invested across three funds, building two portfolios and producing several exits (Conekta, Konfio, Checkars) and unicorns (Nubank, Kavak, Loft, Konfio, Jeeves). The name Wollef reflects the wolf's symbolism of the strength of the pack.
