Chile Ventures
No summary available yet.
Felipe's a corporate finance guy turned VC who actually did the work to learn the game - took a sabbatical in Silicon Valley and convinced Chilean family offices to give him a shot when everyone said they wouldn't touch startups. That persistence shows, and he's built one of the more focused funds in Chile with a clear recurring revenue thesis. The ZeroQ IPO gives them real credibility, and their portfolio companies like Fintual and AgendaPro are genuine success stories in LatAm. Felipe's Sonda background means he gets B2B software, but watch out - they're pretty rigid on the recurring revenue model and won't stray far from their wheelhouse. CORFO co-investment structure means they're patient capital but also bureaucratic.
- —Best for: Early-stage SaaS/subscription companies in LatAm with proven metrics
- —Watch out for: Rigid focus on recurring revenue models only

I worked at Sonda for 20 years as CFO of Sonda Mexico, and CIO of Sonda Chile, so I knew finance and technology. I also grew my knowledge and network during my sabbatical in California. I approached big players, like family offices with a small team, and told them to put in a minimal amount of money to get to know me and my thesis.
Past Role: Start-Up Chile, Operations Director - handles deal flow and early stage startup screening for the fund.
General Partner on the investment team, limited public background information available.
