BuenTrip Ventures

BuenTrip Ventures is a pre-seed VC firm in Quito, Ecuador, that leverages its position as one of the leading ecosystem builders in Latin America to identify, mentor, and invest in software-based startups that are transforming the region’s economy.

Investment Focus
We write first checks in software-based startups that are helping transform the largest sectors of the Latin American economy. We also invest in Latin founders based in the U.S. and Canada. 

Although we tend to be sector-agnostic, our areas of focus include  FinTech, Logistics, eCommerce infrastructure, Platforms, HealthTech, and EdTech, etc.

Meet Publifyer 🔥 | Influencer Marketing Marketplace, the Ecuadorian MarTech startup that connects content creators, brands, and agencies to work on campaigns under a Performance Marketing model. 

We invested in this startup last year when Germán López, Benjamin Lopez, and Alberto Arauz started attracting content creators and brands to their platform. Quickly, Publifyer has become one of the fastest-growing companies in our portfolio.

Over 300 brands, including brands owned by Unilever and Cervecería Nacional, have used Publifyer to create social media campaigns with the 500+ monthly active content creators represented in the platform. While the startup already operates in Ecuador and Peru, it is looking to expand to other markets soon.

“If you give up too much of your company before you’ve reached a certain size, it will be hard to attract investment. Investors will look at your Cap Table and question if the founders have enough incentive to keep working hard.”

We want to thank Leo Trudel, investor, mentor, and former founder, for sharing his knowledge on raising and allocating capital at an early stage.

Listen to the video for all the great tips, including the most efficient ways to spend the capital you raise. 👀

We want to introduce you to Picker, the startup modernizing last-mile logistics in Latin America. ⚡️ 

Founded by Juan Daniel Nebel Romero & Antonio Pazmino, Picker connects DTCs to delivery partners, offering customers an excellent delivery experience in less than 30 minutes. 

In 2021, Picker became the first Ecuadorian startup to participate in the 500 Startups Latam program. Picker is seeing increased QoQ growth thanks to its emphasis on innovation and new products like its Express Delivery. Today, it operates in 10 countries and has secured clients like KFC, Dunkin Donuts, and McDonald's.

Latinoamérica's most valuable asset is NOT a commodity.

Latinoamérica's most valuable asset is talent!

We truly believe that with the right support, anyone, in any city, in any country of our region can start the next great B2B startup that will help transform the region's economy.

Our region has already seen success come from "off-the-radar" countries like:
→ Kushki from Ecuador
→ Auth0 by Okta from Uruguay
→ Crehana from Peru

Not to mention the high-growth startups coming from well-established startup hubs like Colombia, Mexico, Argentina and Brasil.

This year we're celebrating BuenTrip's 10-year anniversary.
And with it, we are celebrating our commitment to spend many more years building Latinoamérica's startup ecosystem.

¡We hope you will join us! ⚡️
