Anna Raptis isn't just playing the gender investing game for PR — she's got serious operational chops with 25 years across energy, World Bank, and angel investing before launching Mexico's first female-focused VC. The $11M Fund I with 25 investments shows decent deployment speed, and portfolio founders genuinely rave about her hands-on support and network connections. But here's the thing: while the gender thesis is noble, early-stage returns in LatAm are still TBD, and being a first-time fund manager means you're betting on her judgment without a proven track record of exits. That said, her LP base includes serious operators like Kavak's co-founder, which suggests smart money believes in her.
- —Best for: Female founders in LatAm who want hands-on support from experienced operators
- —Watch out for: First-time fund with no proven exits yet despite 4+ years investing
- —Known for: Deep networks, genuine operator mentality, and pioneering gender-lens investing in Mexico
Unleashing the power of technology for a better tomorrow by providing capital and strategic support that not only deliver financial returns but also generate meaningful social or environmental impact. Amplifica Capital is the first VC fund in Mexico focused on investing in women in early stage technologically innovative companies in Spanish speaking Latin America. By investing in women we mean technologically driven companies with female founders or goods and services created for women.
The firm prefers to make seed-stage investments in women-led companies operating in agriculture technology, finance technology, education technology, clean technology, and women's health sectors across Mexico and Latin America. In Amplifica Fund I, we raised USD 11M and we have invested in 25 companies across different sectors such as Ag & Foodtech, Healthtech, Fintech, Mobility, Climate Tech and Edtech.
Born in Australia, she followed that lead, holding positions with the United Nations and the World Bank, spending two decades working in the energy sector. That's what ultimately brought her to Mexico: a focus on providing access to clean, safe and reliable energy as a way to help the country develop and improve people's lives. Her background in investing in building and developing investment opportunities, along with a notion to change the narrative around the lack of female tech entrepreneurs in Mexico, was what pushed her into venture capital. Anna is an investor with over 25 years of experience. Anna's experience includes investing across sectors and geographies in international equities, funds, energy, real estate, and as an angel investor and limited partner in venture capital funds in Mexico and the United States.
