 LATIN AMERICAN
STARTUP DIRECTORY
OVERVIEW
The latest edition of the Latin American Startup Directory includes 126 startups that raised US$1m+ in verified
venture funding in 2019, and are still in operation, as tracked by LAVCA.

51 of the startups that raised US$1m+ prior to 2019 raised a follow-on round of at least US$1m (and up to US$1b)
in 2019, including, notably, unicorns Gympass, Loft, Loggi, Nubank, Quinto Andar, and Rappi. An additional 75
NEW startups raised at least US$1m in VC funding in 2019. This growth is consistent with the previous year, when
75 new startups qualified for the Startup Directory based on their 2018 funding.

As venture investment has scaled, Latin America has produced a growing cohort of startups backed by the region’s
tech investors and global investors alike. Using venture backing as an initial criteria, LAVCA established the Latin
American Startup Directory in 2016 to identify and track these startups as they grow.

For a list of startups that raised at least US$1m in VC funding through 2018, view LAVCA’s 2019 Latin American
Startup Directory.

This cohort does not include startups that have been acquired or realized an IPO. See p.28 for an adjacent list of
highlighted startups that have raised US$1m+ and have been acquired/listed, including 99, Globant, Linio, Stone
Pagamentos, and others.

METHODOLOGY
Startups include companies with operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico,
Peru, and Uruguay. Some companies also have operations in other markets, including the US and Europe. Startups
headquartered in the US or outside Latin America were included if they were founded by a Latin American, have
significant operations in the region, and serve a Latin American market.

Investors include PE and VC firms, and also DFIs, family offices, and other professional investors making private
capital commitments to Latin American startups. Investors are based globally. 

LAVCA IDENTIFIES INVESTMENT STAGES AS FOLLOWS:

SEED/INCUBATOR Startup capital to incubate an idea into a company or product.

EARLY Startup capital for companies, including Series A and B.

EXPANSION Capital for companies that have reached a sustainable level of development
and may be shipping products including Series C, D, and beyond.

This list only includes those startups with funding information that was made public, or in some instances
confirmed with primary sources by LAVCA, as of January 1, 2020. Profile details for each startup have been verified
by the founders or executive teams of 74 of the 130 startups. The remaining information was confirmed through
secondary sources as of June 15, 2020.
