ConnectAmericas is a free online business platform developed by the Inter-American Development Bank in 2013, with the support of prominent entities such as Google, Mastercard, Sealand, and DHL. The platform aims to facilitate internationalization for small and medium enterprises from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) by connecting them to a vast network of over 750,000 users across 180 countries. ConnectAmericas provides essential training tools to enhance their capabilities and helps them explore business opportunities. Additionally, the platform closes the gap between these enterprises and financing options offered by partner financial institutions across all LAC countries.
ConnectAmericas' focus on Information Technology and Internet aligns with the growing tech landscape in emerging markets. Despite its headquarters being based in the United States, its reach and impact span globally, particularly within the dynamic LAC region.
As of now, ConnectAmericas has not disclosed its last investment details, including the amount and the involved investors. However, given its strong founding team and support from renowned entities, ConnectAmericas presents a compelling opportunity for venture capitalists looking to tap into the emerging market potential within LAC.
