NuMundo Ventures

Ivan Montoya is the sole Founding General Partner and makes all investment decisions. He operated as an angel in 30+ startups before launching the fund in 2022, and he remains the single check-writer and board-level contact for portfolio companies. Venture partners support on go-to-market and AI strategy, but do not have investment authority.

Deal flow comes from Montoya's deep personal network spanning Silicon Valley and major LatAm startup hubs. He runs the LatAm Early Stage 100 list, which spotlights top companies in Mexico and Colombia and functions as a proprietary sourcing funnel. The firm also relies on referrals from co-investors and operators Montoya worked with during his time as a super angel and at McKinsey.

NuMundo Ventures makes only direct investments into operating companies. It invests exclusively as a pre-seed and seed-stage equity participant, taking board observer or board seats and actively supporting subsequent fundraising rounds through its US and LatAm LP and co-investor network.

The firm writes first checks at the pre-seed and seed stages. As of mid-2026, Fund I held 11 pre-seed and 8 seed positions. Montoya has stated a commitment to partnering with companies from inception to IPO, and his involvement often extends through Series B and later rounds as a board observer and fundraising advisor.

NuMundo Ventures does not publish a formal negative sector list. However, the portfolio's concentration in FinTech, AI/ML applications, Proptech, and enterprise software indicates a deliberate avoidance of capital-intensive sectors like hardware, deep tech, or biotech. The firm focuses on software and marketplace models where Montoya's operational and consulting background applies directly.
