Deal flow is driven by the general partners' embedded networks across Argentina's and greater Latin America's startup ecosystems, augmented by a community of limited partners who are themselves founders and early employees from regional unicorns. The firm's scouting pipeline also draws on institutional connections in Israel via Victoria Akerman and government-related tech networks via Jorge Aguado and Mariano Mayer.
What is Newtopia's typical check size?
The firm's disclosed investment structure is a first check of up to $500,000 at the pre-seed stage, with follow-on capacity of up to $500,000 at seed and up to $1.5 million at Series A rounds.
What sectors does Newtopia explicitly avoid?
Newtopia has not publicly disclosed a list of excluded sectors. Its portfolio and public statements indicate a generalist venture focus across Latin America, with observed activity in Enterprise Software, FinTech, and Mobility sectors rather than deep-tech hardware or life sciences.
Where does the capital for Newtopia come from?
The fund's limited partners include named Latin American tech leaders such as Marcos Galperin of Mercado Libre and Matías Woloski of Auth0, alongside other regional founders, angels, and early unicorn employees disclosed on the firm's website. It is not backed by a single underlying industrial or family fortune.
