Angel Ventures

Angel Ventures is a venture capital firm based in Mexico City that was founded in 2008 as the first professionally managed angel investor network in Latin America. The firm focuses on early-stage to early-growth companies, primarily participating as a seed and Series A investor in startups across Latin America, with emphasis on technology-driven sectors. Angel Ventures invests in companies operating in multiple sectors including fintech, healthcare, biotechnology, e-commerce, agribusiness, food tech, retail, media, artificial intelligence, and other technology-related industries. The firm originated from a recognized lack of seed funding opportunities in Mexico and was inspired by the traditional angel investing model that supported major company development in developed countries. Angel Ventures has evolved from an angel investor network with over 300 members comprised of angel investors and senior executives who co-invest in high-potential companies, to managing institutional venture capital funds. The firm raised its first institutional fund of $20 million in 2012, which was invested in 21 companies. It subsequently raised a second fund targeting $120 million focused on Pacific Alliance countries including Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. According to available data, Angel Ventures has made 191 investments and achieved 55 exits, with its portfolio including the unicorn company Clip. The firm typically invests between $5-10 million on average and has been actively investing in Mexican and Latin American startups. Recent investments include fintech companies such as Monato, Blooms, and Orkestapay. Angel Ventures participates actively in the Mexican venture capital ecosystem, with managing partners engaged in industry associations like AMEXCAP. The firm has also received support from the Inter-American Development Bank to promote SME development in Mexico by expanding access to seed financing.
