METHODOLOGY

This list includes 140 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 in over three deals per year across multiple deals in the region. 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, increased to 103 and 97 during 2020, and reflected 114 and 116 investment professionals in 2021.
