The top 50 Latin America venture investors in 2026

Latin America's venture market has experienced significant contraction in recent years, with deal volume falling by more than half since 2022. Funding, which peaked at $20.1 billion in 2021, has dropped to $4.8 billion in the most recent year. This tightening of the market has led to a widening gap between the strongest and weakest venture portfolios. To identify the most active and successful investors in the region, CB Insights has compiled a list of the top 50 Latin America venture investors based on recent deal activity from Q1 2023 to Q3 2025, early investments in potential unicorns, and the share of portfolio exits. The rankings also take into account Mosaic scores and M&A probability, which measure private company health, potential, and the likelihood of an exit within the next two years.

The top investors in Latin America have shown a strong focus on artificial intelligence (AI) applications, particularly in sales and customer service. The top three venture capital firms—Bossa Invest, Redpoint Eventures, and DOMO.VC—have directed a quarter of their deals since 2023 to AI companies, with sales and customer service applications accounting for 35% of those investments. This emphasis on AI tools is not surprising, given that the majority of Latin American businesses are resource-constrained small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). AI solutions help these companies scale efficiently without the need for additional headcount.

Among the standout portfolio companies in the AI space, Octagora emerges as an AI-powered customer service platform that assists in resolving technical issues remotely. Another example is TuTo Digital, which deploys AI agents to automate sales and customer service interactions. These companies highlight the potential for AI to transform various sectors in Latin America, offering scalable solutions that cater to the region's unique business landscape.

The rankings also underscore the importance of tracking investors' portfolios by Mosaic scores to identify future winners. By analyzing the health and potential of private companies, investors can make more informed decisions and stay ahead of the curve in an increasingly competitive market.

For venture firms looking to ensure their full portfolio is represented in the rankings, CB Insights encourages them to reach out to analyst@cbinsights.com for a review of the coverage of their investments. As the Latin American venture market continues to evolve, it is crucial for investors to adapt their strategies and stay focused on high-potential opportunities. By leveraging data-driven insights and prioritizing sectors with the most growth potential, investors can navigate the current tight market and position themselves for success in the years to come.

A simple way to get more value from metrics

We spent one day 1 building a system that immediately found a mid 7 figure optimization (which ended up shipping). In the first year, we shipped mid 8 figures per year worth of cost savings as a result. The key feature this system introduces is the ability to query metrics data across all hosts and all services and over any period of time (since inception), so we've called it LongTermMetrics (LTM) internally since I like boring, descriptive, names. This got started when I was looking for a starter project that would both help me understand the Twitter infra stack and also have some easily quantifiable value. Andy Wilcox suggested looking at JVM survivor space utilization for some large services. If you're not familiar with what survivor space is, you can think of it as a configurable, fixed-size buffer, in the JVM (at least if you use the GC algorithm that's default at Twitter). At the time, if you looked at a random large services, you'd usually find that either: The buffer was too small, resulting in poor performance, sometimes catastrophically poor when under high load. The buffer was too large, resulting in wasted memory, i.e., wasted money. But instead of looking at random services, there's no fundamental reason that we shouldn't be able to query all services and get a list of which services have room for improvement in their configuration, sorted by performance degradation or cost savings. And if we write that query for JVM survivor space, this also

Context Engineering for Coding Agents

The number of options we have to configure and enrich a coding agent’s context has exploded over the past few months. Claude Code is leading the charge with innovations in this space, but other coding assistants are quickly following suit. Powerful context engineering is becoming a huge part of the developer experience of these tools. Birgitta Böckeler explains the current state of context configuration features, using Claude Code as an example. more…

What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane?

Does feeding less protein to cows over a longer period not only reduce nitrogen losses, but also affect methane emissions? Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) investigated this in a multi-year study with dairy cows, funded by the Vereniging Diervoederonderzoek Nederland (VDN), the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN), and […] The post What does less protein and nitrogen mean for methane? appeared first on Agriland.ie .
