The thriving Latin American tech ecosystem is going through its greatest momentum yet.
A few examples:
The first half of 2021 saw more than $6.2 billion in venture capital flowing into the region, according to LAVCA (Association for Private Capital Investment in Latin America).
Companies like Cornershop, Notco, Kavak and Nubank are entering broader geographies.
Regional VC firms are launching their fourth or fifth funds, echoing the ecosystem’s maturity.
Last week, 10% of the companies at the annual Y Combinator Demo Day came from LATAM. And Bitso, one of the region’s most celebrated unicorns, is powering the historic crypto experiment in El Salvador.
Clearly, this is definitely not the moment to stay in the sidelines. So after a few months away from the ecosystem, Contxto is relaunching in mid-September.
Our goal is simple: to continue covering Latin American innovative entrepreneurs and the life-changing companies they are building.
With a solid editorial team, we’ll find out what is driving the ecosystem. We’ll dive deep into their fascinating stories. We’ll aim to understand how they’re using technology to solve the region’s most pressing problems.
And we’ll most definitely spread the word about the regional talent that will undoubtedly keep growing.
LATAM is thriving, and we’ll be here to tell you all about it.
