Taram Capital
Taram Capital was founded in Santiago, Chile, by a team that includes Managing Partner Felipe Camposano and Partners Christian Onetto Maitland, Francisco Marín, and Juan Vásquez. Camposano is a member of Kauffman Fellows Class 16 and serves on the board of the Chilean Venture Capital Association (ACVC), embedding the firm deep within the country's startup governance fabric. The firm also maintains a commercial office in Miami, Florida, reflecting a dual-market posture that spans Latin America's Pacific and Atlantic corridors. The firm invests directly in venture capital, targeting early-stage opportunities across Chile and the broader Latin American region. As a generalist investor, Taram Capital evaluates deals across multiple sectors rather than restricting itself to a single vertical. Its investment approach frequently involves co-investing alongside established Chilean institutions, notably Consorcio, a recurring partner. The geographic focus remains anchored in Chile but extends to regional deals that leverage the founding team's network and Miami-based presence for cross-border sourcing. Taram Capital's partners actively participate in the region's startup ecosystem beyond pure capital deployment. Felipe Camposano's role as Strategic Planning Chair of ASEM-BIO, the Chilean Biotechnology Association, signals a connectivity to the life sciences and deep-tech segments of the market. The firm lists a philanthropic vehicle, ChileFlorida.org, though operational details and total assets under management or aggregate deployment figures remain undisclosed. Team size and fund structures have not been publicly documented. Structurally, Taram Capital distinguishes itself through its deep integration into Chile's venture governance bodies via ACVC, rather than operating as a detached financial sponsor. Its generalist mandate across a still-maturing Latin American venture market requires a sourcing model built on founder networks and association leadership—a posture common to early-stage regional firms where deal flow is relationship-dependent rather than inbound from brand. The Miami office provides a North American touchpoint, but the firm's gravity remains decisively in Santiago.
