Portfolio Fair

Connecting startups and corporations isn't just a mission, it's our passion. As the first multi-corporate CVC fund in the region, we understand the importance of speaking both worlds’ languages to drive impactful collaboration. That’s why we launched The Portfolio Fair, a unique meeting where our portfolio startups and our business partners and investors come together to explore disruptive opportunities.

The first edition took place this January in Colombia and proved to be a resounding success. Startups from our portfolio showcased their innovative solutions, followed by focused one-on-one discussions with strategic partners, including Coca-Cola FEMSA and Coca-Cola Latin America.

We’re proud of the connections that were forged and look forward to seeing these collaborations grow. Here’s to many more to come!

New Startups in our portfolio

We start the year with great news from our portfolio as we welcome two more startups: 

→ Logshare is a logistics platform from Brazil revolutionizing cargo management by helping companies optimize their load capacity. By reducing empty miles, Logshare not only cuts costs but also contributes to lower CO₂ emissions, supporting sustainable logistics practices.

→ Muta is a Colombian smart recycling platform transforming waste management. Users can request recyclable collections, track the treatment process, and earn income through an integrated e-wallet. Muta digitizes waste collection processes, recycling items like used cooking oil, cardboard, and plastic, driving the circular economy forward.
