Latin America Investment Report 2025
After years of mapping Africa's venture landscape , we are turning our intelligence to Latin America to launch our inaugural 2025 Latin America Investment Report.
The report builds on sustained research, ecosystem engagement, and advisory work. It takes the same rigorous, data-driven approach as our annual Africa series, combining Briter Intelligence data with qualitative insights from fund managers and ecosystem leaders across the region.
What we have found is that Latin America's venture ecosystem is entering a new phase. For years, the market has been defined by a booming pipeline of early-stage company creation. However, the data from 2025 points to a market that is more disciplined, more selective, and more focused on quality over volume. With funding reaching $8.6 billion across 500+ disclosed transactions, the defining challenge for Latin America is no longer just launching startups, but helping those companies move from early traction to scale. Our inaugural Latin America Investment Report looks beyond the funding totals to unpack the structural conditions enabling or limiting that growth.
The report introduces a new four-tier market classification framework — Dominant Hubs, Robust Emerging Markets, Nascent Markets, and Outliers — to show how capital availability, ecosystem maturity, and scale-up capacity diverge across the region.
It maps where capital is flowing, who is deploying it, and how local, regional, and international investors are participating. It also examines exit activity and market and sector concentration to assess where the ecosystem is showing signs of maturity, liquidity, and long-term opportunity.
