Frequently asked questions
How does Start Up Peru source its deal flow?
Start Up Peru sources exclusively through public, open-call competitions managed via Innovate Peru. Ventures submit applications during annual or semi-annual cycles, and selection is conducted through independent evaluation panels composed of academics, entrepreneurs, and industry experts. The process is designed to be meritocratic and regionally inclusive, drawing from Peruvian tech hubs beyond Lima.
How is Start Up Peru funded, and what is its relationship to the Peruvian government?
Start Up Peru is funded through the national budget under Innovate Peru, which falls within the Ministry of Production. The program was launched in 2013 with support from the Inter-American Development Bank and has been sustained through successive government administrations. Budgets are allocated annually by Congress, meaning funding levels can vary with political priorities.
