What stages and sectors do you invest in?
We invest in pre-seed and seed startups, and sometimes in Series A companies. We are sector-agnostic and invest across many different verticals.

All of Latin America, and Latin founders solving global or US problems.
What do you look for in founders?
Exceptional founders with deep knowledge of the problem they’re solving, speed of execution, and the ambition to build regional or global companies. We value complementary teams, resilience, and the ability to attract talent and capital.
Who are Newtopia's LPs?
Our 100+ LPs are mostly successful founders, operators and investors from Latin America’s tech ecosystem, including founders of Mercado Libre, Auth0, MURAL and other LATAM unicorns. Many of them actively support our portfolio companies.

We invest in both pre-seed and seed rounds, and sometimes participate in Series A rounds. In addition, we follow-on in our top-performing portfolio companies, typically in their Seed and Series A rounds, with investments up to $3M.
Can Newtopia be a lead, co-lead, or follower investor?
