ChileGlobal Ventures

ChileGlobal Ventures is the venture capital arm of Fundación Chile, founded in 2008 and based in Vitacura, Santiago. The firm manages approximately $20 million in assets under management, structured as a fund co-invested by private capital — including Zoma Capital, Entel, and Engie Factory — alongside 67% public leverage from Corfo, Chile's national economic development agency. ChileGlobal Ventures has invested in 72 companies, primarily at the Seed and Series A stages in Chilean startups with a focus on companies that can scale from Chile to broader Latin American and global markets. The firm leads rounds, deploying checks of up to $1 million across software, cleantech, agritech, healthtech, food technology, energy, and biotech. The investment thesis focuses on impact innovations in high-potential sectors for Chile and Latin America, backed by entrepreneurs working on disruptive solutions. Operations run through four pillars: an Impact Finance Network investing in startups, a mentor network, Club CGV providing strategic service providers, and corporate linkage models connecting large companies with innovative startups. ChileGlobal Ventures positions itself as more than a capital provider — the Fundación Chile parentage gives portfolio companies access to an extensive research, technical, and policy network built across decades of work in Chile's priority economic sectors including agriculture, aquaculture, mining, and clean energy. Leadership includes Jaime Riggs and Manuel Rodríguez, who guide a portfolio designed to generate returns while building Chile's long-term innovation capacity.
