500 Global Launches Fourth Startup Investment Fund in Latin America

The fund has historically backed successful ventures like Konfío and Clip, each now valued over a billion dollars.

Santiago Zavala, partner at 500 Global, highlights the fund’s industry-agnostic approach, aiming to revolutionize sectors like fintech, health, and education through AI and cloud technologies. The fund remains committed to industries that have shown positive outcomes, focusing on startups capable of achieving positive unit economics and sustainable growth with minimal capital.

Amidst high interest rates, 500 Global is cautious, prioritizing investments in startups that offer real consumer solutions and can grow economically efficiently. This strategy ensures that invested capital leverages healthy growth rather than unchecked expansion.
