Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at MatterScale Ventures?

The five named General Partners — Fernando Fabre, Antonio Lück, Adriana Suarez, Gabriela Macagni, and Roberto Charvel — form the core decision-making body. Fabre previously served as Endeavor Global's president and oversaw Endeavor Catalyst Fund I and II with a combined $100 million in AUM across 80 transactions. The GPs' physical distribution across Mexico City, Detroit, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and San Francisco means that weekly investment committee discussions require coordination across multiple time zones.

How does MatterScale source proprietary deal flow?

Sourcing runs through a network of over 20 venture partners — current and former operators from companies like Rappi, 99 Taxis, and BBVA AM — coupled with the GPs' own Endeavor alumni ties. Because General Partners live in seven countries simultaneously, the firm can access founder communities in São Paulo, Quito, and Santiago that remain underserved by traditional venture presence. This distributed footprint routinely surfaces companies before regional rounds syndicate more widely.

Does MatterScale write fund commitments or only direct checks?

The firm's disclosed model centers on direct investments, with initial checks between $150,000 and $750,000 from pre-seed through Series A rounds. For transactions requiring more capital, MatterScale organizes syndicates with its limited partners — effectively layering a direct-investment posture onto an LP coinvestment capability without operating as a fund-of-funds.

What investment stages does MatterScale target?

MatterScale targets pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds, sometimes extending into later-stage growth checks through LP syndication. The portfolio spans companies at the very earliest formation stage — such as Colombian pet-care platform Movet — as well as scaling platforms like Mexican proptech startup Pulppo.

How does the Culture Rank tool connect to MatterScale's investment process?

Culture Rank is an in-house tool the firm built to anonymously survey employee culture and DEI metrics, measuring eNPS, feedback loops, OKR alignment, and wellbeing across portfolio companies. MatterScale's GPs argue that leadership quality predicts venture outcomes, and the tool systemizes that conviction within their diligence and post-investment support — a structured attempt to quantify what most VCs treat as qualitative founder assessment.
