We were founders first.
Colectivo Jaguara is a founders-for-founders investment club — built by operators who've stood exactly where you're standing, write the first checks, and stay close enough to actually help.
Three lines. No fine print.
We are a truly regional early-stage backer.
Truly early stage
Pre-seed and seed — the earliest, riskiest capital in a company's life.
LatAm & tech-enabled
Built for the region, sector-agnostic within it — we follow the founder more than the category.
Founder-first
We back people building the category leaders of tomorrow.
What we believe
One vehicle, one process.
We invest as a single fund — pitch to wire in about three weeks, door to door. No patchwork of individual decisions slowing things down.
We've sat on the other side of the table.
Every one of us has built, hired, raised or shut something down. We recognize a real founder because we've been one.
Access matters more than allocation.
Beyond the capital, our real value-add is the operating network standing behind it.
We stay close, not loud.
No board seats, no bureaucracy. Just people who pick up the phone when a founder needs an intro, a hire, or a hard truth.
Conviction beats consensus.
We see a lot of dealflow and say yes to very little of it. Selectivity is the point, not a side effect.
We show up after the round closes.
The work starts once the wire lands — through follow-ons, intros, and the unglamorous parts of building.
Companies we've backed
Active companies in our portfolio.
Who's in the room
The Colectivo: founders, operators and executives from across LatAm and beyond — each one investing and opening doors alongside us as a single fund.
