Capital Invent is permanently closed according to Crunchbase, though their LinkedIn remains active, which suggests they're either winding down investments or operating in ghost mode. The fund was run by serial entrepreneur Heberto Taracena, who had a solid exit with Metroscubicos to Time Inc, giving him credibility in the Mexican internet space. Their latest investment was in September 2022, and they made 28 total investments - respectable volume for a regional Mexican fund. The team had real operating experience, which is rare in LatAm VC, but the fund appears to have run its course without raising a follow-on vehicle.
