Frequently asked questions
Who backs Kamay Ventures?
Kamay Ventures is a corporate venture capital fund founded and backed by Arcor, the Argentine multinational food company, and Coca-Cola Latin America. These two strategic LPs provide both the committed capital and the operational footprint that portfolio companies access for commercial pilots and distribution across the region.
How does Kamay Ventures source deals in Latin America?
Kamay's deal flow is significantly shaped by its corporate partners' supply chains and operating networks. Arcor and Coca-Cola have deep commercial relationships across Latin American agriculture, logistics, and retail, giving Kamay early visibility into startups building solutions for problems the parent companies encounter directly — an origination channel most independent Latin American venture funds lack.
Does Kamay Ventures invest outside Argentina?
Yes. While headquartered in Buenos Aires and anchored in the Argentine market, Kamay invests across Latin America, including Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. The firm's geographic scope mirrors the operational territory of its corporate backers, with particular emphasis on the agricultural corridors of the Southern Cone and the Andean region.
What does Kamay Ventures explicitly avoid investing in?
Kamay does not publicly publish an exclusion list, but its investment activity concentrates tightly on B2B technologies relevant to consumer-goods supply chains. The firm has no record of investing in consumer-facing apps, pure-play e-commerce marketplaces, or biotech therapeutics — areas outside its corporate partners' strategic priorities.
