Top 5 Series A Investors in Chile (2025): Complete Guide to Raising Growth Capital

Chile is still one of Latin America's most founder-friendly launchpads—but 2025 fundraising is more selective. You'll see more rounds, but tighter checks and heavier diligence, especially at Series A, where investors want proof of scalable distribution and durable unit economics. (El País)

Peony helps Chilean startups organize investor materials with AI-powered document organization, track investor engagement with page-level analytics, and securely share sensitive financial and operational data.

Below is a Chile-first, Series A–relevant shortlist of funds that are (1) actually active in-market, (2) have real capacity to do Series A checks (or lead/co-lead), and (3) carry strong reputations among founders and local ecosystem operators.

1) How to pick the right Series A investors in Chile

What "Series A" typically means in Chile (in practice)

In Chile/LatAm, Series A is less about a "label" and more about risk-reduction:

  • You've got repeatable GTM (not just pilots)
  • You can show retention + margin + payback that won't collapse when you scale
  • You're either expanding regionally or can credibly do so within 12–18 months

Investors have gotten more cautious—even as round count rises—so the bar is often "real traction, clean metrics, and a believable path to regional scale." (El País)

Your best-fit filter (use this before you build a list)

A. Stage fit (true Series A capacity) Don't waste cycles pitching seed-only funds. Look for explicit "Late Seed / Series A" mandates (or funds that clearly say they do Series A and can lead). (Kayyak Ventures)

B. Check size + follow-on Series A is rarely one-and-done. Prefer investors who:

  • can write a meaningful first check, and
  • have reserves to support you in the next round

C. Sector & business model alignment In Chile right now, the "easiest yes" tends to cluster around:

  • B2B SaaS / productivity / vertical software
  • Fintech infrastructure
  • Industrial + climate-adjacent tech where Chile has structural advantages (mining, energy, supply chains)

D. Geographic posture Ask: are you a Chile-first company, or a LatAm/global company that started in Chile? Many "top" Chile funds underwrite the second story more comfortably.

How to source warm intros (the only channel that really matters at A)

  • Portfolio founder intros (most effective)
  • Local ecosystem nodes (ACVC members, corporate innovation hubs, Corfo-linked networks)
  • Co-investor mapping: find who repeatedly co-invests together, then target the "hub" investor first

2) Detailed profiles: the 5 Series A investors to know in Chile (2025)

1) Kayyak Ventures (Santiago)

Why they're on this list: One of the clearest "Series A capable" Chile-based firms—explicit stage focus, meaningful check capacity, and a track record of leading. (Kayyak Ventures)

  • Stage focus: Seed, Series A, Series B (Kayyak Ventures)
  • Typical check size: "Up to US$5M" per new investment (and they can lead) (Kayyak Ventures)
  • What they like: Revenue + healthy unit economics / margins; capital efficiency (Kayyak Ventures)
  • Proof they actually do Series A in Chile: Led AgroUrbana's $4M Series A; ChileGlobal Ventures' CLIN fund participated (LatamList)
  • Founder tip: Show (1) gross margin durability, (2) payback discipline, (3) why you can expand beyond Chile without your CAC exploding.

2) Genesis Ventures (HQ: Santiago; teams in UK & Miami)

Why they're on this list: Multi-stage investor that explicitly supports Series A and global expansion paths—useful if your A is tied to internationalization.

  • Stage focus: Seed, Series A, Growth (Genesis Ventures)
  • Positioning: Backing tech-enabled companies with global ambition; operational support via international teams (Genesis Ventures)
  • Signal of Series A+ intent: Reported push around larger fund strategy and Series A+ orientation (Bloomberg Línea)
  • When they're a great fit: If your Series A story is "Chile traction → regional scale → US/Europe expansion," Genesis is one of the few Chile-rooted platforms that speaks that language fluently. (Genesis Ventures)

3) Taram Capital (B2B Venture Growth — Santiago)

Why they're on this list: One of the most explicit Chile-based Late Seed / Series A mandates for B2B, with a very "metrics-forward" posture.

  • Stage focus: Late Seed and Series A (Taram Capital)
  • What they invest in: B2B solutions for SMEs/enterprises; emphasis on SaaS + data-driven solutions (also fintech, web3 themes) (Taram Capital)
  • Ecosystem credibility: Listed as an ACVC member; fund details published through the association (acvc.cl)
  • Founder tip: Walk in with crisp cohort charts, expansion revenue logic, and a clean "why you win in LATAM" distribution plan. Their own language is B2B transformation—match it. (Taram Capital)

4) ChileGlobal Ventures (CLIN Fund — Santiago)

Why they're on this list: A central institutional node in Chile's startup ecosystem (VC + acceleration + corporate venturing), with demonstrated participation in larger rounds and a recognized platform for follow-ons and scaling.

  • Platform scope: Venture capital + acceleration + corporate venturing (Chile Global Ventures)
  • CLIN Fund context: Early-stage fund managed by ChileGlobal Ventures (PitchBook)
  • Series A participation example: Participated in AgroUrbana's Series A alongside the lead investor Kayyak (AgFunderNews)
  • Founder tip: They can be uniquely helpful if your Series A needs (a) strategic partners, (b) enterprise distribution, or (c) credibility in the local ecosystem.

5) Manutara Ventures (Santiago)

Why they're on this list: Operator-led, hands-on, and explicitly states it can do Series A—often a strong fit for founders who want high-engagement investors.

  • Stage focus: Typically pre-seed/seed, but can also do Series A (Manutara Ventures)
  • Positioning: Entrepreneur-founded VC; emphasizes scaling experience and hands-on support (Manutara Ventures)
  • Founder tip: Pitch them like operators: clarity on the bottleneck, what you'll do with the A, and where you need help (hiring, GTM systems, partnerships). They explicitly market "support right from the start"—use that. (Manutara Ventures)

3) Five quick tips to pitch Chile Series A investors (and actually get to term sheet)

  1. Lead with the "why now" + wedge Chile investors see a lot of "nice tech." Win by showing the wedge that makes distribution inevitable (regulatory shift, platform change, supply shock, etc.), not optional.

  2. Make your metrics impossible to misunderstand At Series A, assume investors will pressure-test:

  • retention (logo + revenue), net revenue retention if applicable
  • gross margin trajectory
  • CAC payback and/or sales efficiency
  • burn multiple (or a simple "efficiency story")
  1. Show regional scalability, not just Chile success A common Series A question in Chile: "Great—how does this work in Mexico/Colombia/Brazil?" Have a concrete plan, even if you're starting with 1–2 markets.

  2. Build the round like a process, not a hope Run a tight loop:

  • shortlist (10–15) → warm intros → first meetings → partner meetings → data room → term sheet pressure The market is cautious; founders who control process win. (El País)
  1. Use a clean data room and pre-answer diligence Put the obvious diligence in one place (KPIs, cohort tables, pipeline, financial model, cap table, customer references). You want investors spending time on conviction—not chasing files. Use a professional data room like Peony to organize materials with AI-powered organization and track investor engagement with page-level analytics.
