Kayyak Ventures

We make long-term bets on mission-driven entrepreneurs, individuals who have a creative imagination and a radical vision of how the world should look like. We are highly selective in who we invest in, focusing on a handful of entrepreneurs per year in order to dedicate our full energy and heart to helping them. We like to be artisans. We typically invest in companies that are generating revenues with attractive margins and/or unit economics and capital-efficient business models. We focus on Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. We are prepared to invest $1.5 million to $5 million in each new investment and expect to continue investing in our portfolio companies in successive rounds. We are flexible on the mechanics. We can lead or participate. We primarily invest in companies based in Latin America, but we also back businesses led by Latin founders in other places like the US or Europe. We are purpose-driven investors. We seek to invest in companies and exceptional entrepreneurs who are on a mission to solve our biggest social and environmental challenges by developing businesses that are competitive, scalable, and sustainable. We believe people, teams, and culture are the ultimate competitive advantage of a company: attitude over talent.
