Maya Capital

Managing partners Lara Lemann and Monica Saggioro lead the firm's investment decisions. Both come from operational and venture backgrounds prior to founding Maya Capital. They are supported by a São Paulo–based team that sources and diligences deals across Latin America.

Maya relies on a dense network of repeat founders, co-investors, and the operational experience of its managing partners in the São Paulo ecosystem. Its "flywheel" model connects portfolio founders to follow-on capital and talent, generating referral-driven access to pre-seed and seed-stage companies before wider syndication.

Maya Capital invests primarily via direct equity into early-stage startups. The firm does not publicly market participation in third-party fund commitments. Its public portfolio reflects concentrated, name-specific bets on founding teams building across Latin America's core digital sectors.

The firm targets early-stage rounds — Seed and Series A — with the capability to follow on into later growth rounds. Portfolio description shows involvement from initial institutional checks into scaling-phase financings, often alongside co-investors sourced through its operator network.

Maya Capital does not publish a formal excluded sectors list. However, the portfolio skews strongly toward software and technology-enabled businesses in fintech, health, logistics, and food, with no observable positions in heavy industry, traditional manufacturing, extractive industries, or hydrocarbon-based energy.
