Emerging Women Investors in Latin American Tech

November 19, 2021
2021 Emerging Women Investors

Women in venture are as underrepresented in Latin America as they are globally. In the US, women only hold ~15% of GP positions in VC, and the majority of firms have no women partners; in other markets, reliable benchmarks for comparison are harder to come by. 

In an effort to raise the visibility of women in venture, LAVCA published an updated annual list of the Top Women Investing in Latin American Tech, as well as its fourth annual list of Emerging Women Investors in Latin American Tech which includes 115 junior-level female investment professionals at VC firms investing in Latin American startups, a 21% growth over the 2020 list of 95 women.

MADE POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT FROM

LAVCA’s gender diversity research is made possible with support from IDB LAB, Member of the IDB Group. Access information about WeXchange, a forum hosted by IDB LAB that connects high growth women entrepreneurs in LatAm with investors and mentors.

Methodology

This list includes 114 senior-level women investment professionals who are deploying capital in early and growth stage tech deals in Latin America, as well as notable women angels investing over USD50k across multiple deals in the region in the past two years. All investors were vetted for inclusion by LAVCA Research.

Every year since 2016, LAVCA solicits nominations of top women investors in tech from the investment community. The inaugural list included 37 investors; the 2017 list added eight new investors. In 2018, complementing the peer nomination process, LAVCA reviewed the investment teams of all active Latin American VC funds, producing a list of 82 senior-level and 47 mid- and junior-level investment professionals. In 2019, those numbers jumped to 88 and 87, respectively, and increased to 103 and 97 during 2020.
