Bridge Latam
No summary available yet.
Bridge just merged with Nazca in March 2025 to become one powerhouse - this is the first VC fund merger of its kind in Latin America. What's actually impressive here is their founder DNA - eight of ten original partners still actively run their own startups, including Daniel Vogel (Bitso CEO) and Federico Ranero (Kavak COO). They're the only Latin American VC in the global Data-Driven VC network and have generated 'significantly superior early-stage returns' with their data approach. The real value here isn't just their network - it's that they genuinely understand the grind because they're living it. Their partners contributed over 1,596 hours to the firm in deal flow and portfolio support, which shows they're not just check-writers but active builders.
