INCA Ventures

INCA Ventures is a venture capital fund based in Lima, Peru, founded in 2018 as a pioneer investor in the Andean region. The fund was co-founded by Fernando, an indigenous Peruvian and founder of INCA Investments (which manages over $400 million in Latin American securities for global institutional clients), and Meghan, who is focused on democratizing access to capital for entrepreneurs in Latin America. The co-founders identified the funding gap for early-stage startups in Peru and the Andean region and built INCA Ventures to support promising founders providing innovative financial and real estate services to underserved communities. The fund leads rounds and invests at pre-seed and seed stages in fintech, financial services, and real estate sectors, concentrating on Colombia and Peru. Since 2018, INCA Ventures has backed 18 startups: 10 Peruvian, 7 Colombian, and 1 Venezuelan. The portfolio carries a dominant fintech weighting, with 12 of 18 investments in financial services. Notable portfolio companies include Leasy (fintech providing automobile financing to ride-hailing drivers through a subscription model), Prestamype (a micro and small business funding platform launched in 2017), and Hapi (a wealth tech trading app democratizing Latin American consumer access to the US stock market at zero commissions). The firm particularly focuses on underrepresented founders. INCA Ventures provides founders with catalytic early capital, 30-plus years of combined financial sector experience, and access to a global network of investors and advisors. Its dual roots in the securities and startup worlds give it a distinctive ability to connect early-stage Andean founders with institutional-quality investor relationships across North America and Europe.
