Sunna Ventures

Sunna Ventures

Sunna Ventures was founded by Cristián Olea in Santiago, Chile, to deploy capital into early-stage technology companies across Latin America. The firm emerged during the region's first wave of institutional venture formation, targeting digital transformation in markets historically dominated by cash and inefficient intermediation. Olea assembled a portfolio that reflects a thesis around infrastructure-like businesses—platforms that rebuild the rails for payments, real estate transactions, and agricultural logistics. Sunna invests primarily at the pre-seed and seed stages, with select follow-on into Series A rounds. The strategy spans fintech, proptech, agritech, enterprise software, and digital marketplaces. Confirmed portfolio names include Fintual, the Chilean automated investment platform, and Houm, the proptech marketplace operating across Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. The geographic footprint concentrates on Chile, Mexico, and Colombia, with opportunistic exposure elsewhere in the Andean region. The firm structures direct equity investments and frequently co-invests alongside global venture funds and accelerators. Sunna operates a lean partnership structure from its Santiago headquarters. The team size remains undisclosed, consistent with a concentrated early-stage venture firm model. The firm has placed portfolio companies into the Y Combinator accelerator pipeline and co-invested alongside Kaszek Ventures, the region's largest venture capital platform. Sunna's approach integrates tightly with local founder networks and early-stage ecosystems rather than pursuing large institutional fund structures. Sunna's structural distinction lies in its full-stack Latin America focus at the earliest stage: a Santiago-anchored partnership investing across the Spanish-speaking Americas with a cross-border portfolio construction that mirrors the regional expansion paths of its own startups. This architecture contrasts with both the single-country generalists and the later-stage pan-regional funds that dominate Latin American venture.
