About

Maya Capital, founded in 2018 by Lara Lemann and Monica Saggioro, is a venture capital firm based in São Paulo, Brazil. The firm focuses on early-stage investments in Latin American startups, aiming to lead the first institutional funding rounds and provide hands-on support to its portfolio companies. Their approach includes assisting with hiring, go-to-market strategies, and fundraising efforts. Maya Capital's portfolio includes notable investments such as NotCo, a food tech company specializing in plant-based products, and Merama, an e-commerce platform aggregator. These investments have elevated both companies to unicorn status, showcasing Maya Capital's ability to identify and nurture high-potential startups. With the recent close of their second fund at $100 million, Maya Capital plans to invest in 25 to 30 new companies, with a significant portion reserved for follow-on funding. The firm aims to support the best founders in Latin America and expand their reach among Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs across the region. Their investment strategy balances a strong presence in Brazil with significant investments throughout other Latin American countries, such as Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. Maya Capital emphasizes long-term partnerships and being an integral part of their portfolio companies' journeys from early stages to successful scaling. This commitment is reflected in their proactive support and the extensive network they leverage to benefit the startups they invest in.
