What is SIMMA Capital?

SIMMA Capital is a venture capital firm that provides funding and strategic support to early-stage startups. With a strong emphasis on empowering entrepreneurs, the firm focuses on scalable enterprises with solid economic fundamentals that have connections to Latin America.

They target innovators who are positioning themselves to reshape the future of business solutions through technology, fostering their potential to impact the region positively. As investors, SIMMA Capital operates with a clear investment thesis: Trust technology and invest in people.

This not only reflects in their capital deployment but also in their hands-on approach to nurturing portfolio companies. The firm offers more than just funding; they provide vital connections and share knowledge to support the growth and development of the startups they back.

Noteworthy is their selective investment criteria, with the fund's investment ranging from $50,000 to $50,000, indicating a concentrated investment 'sweet spot', showing their intention to be significant, value-adding partners for the companies they engage with. SIMMA Capital's specialties include participating in various funding stages such as Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B, with a geographical focus on Latin America.

Additionally, SIMMA Capital diversifies its venture activities through different arms: SIMMA Ventures, which is industry-agnostic and focuses on Latin America with a preference for seeding rounds and co-investment opportunities; and BIOS Ventures, which delves into niche sectors such as animal tech, the pet industry, agtech, foodtech, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing.

As the corporate venture capital (CVC) arm of Grupo BIOS, it taps into a vast agro-industrial network to leverage industry insights and opportunities. Further extending its reach into the startup ecosystem, SIMMA Capital also runs INVX, an angel investment fund that specializes in pre-seed startups in Colombia, assisting with fundraising and facilitating business connections.
