The fund selectively invests in companies with a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000, with an ideal 'sweet spot' investment around $1,500,000. Latin Leap operates with a unique model they term 'VC Studio', which provides a 'soft-landing' approach for Asian tech businesses to enter the Latin American market through their Leap2Latam strategy. This approach includes venture scouting and ecosystem building, plus offering resources such as white papers and investment strategies for effective market penetration. They also focus on fostering social development by aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Geographically, while rooted in Latin America, Latin Leap maintains an international presence with offices in Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Singapore, and Spain, where they work to build bridges between Latin America and Asian technology sectors. Through their entrepreneurial support, they seek to intensify the infusion of technology in Latin America, facilitating market entry for impressive tech ventures and thus forging a robust TechBridge between continents.
