Why SVLC

What we do

We invest in companies that are good for people and our planet. We focus on difficult and important problems.

  • Climate and Environment - Supporting sustainability with core innovations in science and technology.

  • Health and Well-Being - Improving health and well-being through prevention, diagnostics, treatment, access and efficiency.

We are bold and prefer to write the first check.

 

How we make investment decisions

We are people-driven and data-driven.

We use Decision Analysis to structure our intuition. 

Using a number to represent our judgment allows us to express it clearly. We use unbiased probabilities and ranges of uncertain outcomes to make investment decisions.

What our entrepreneurs say

“SVLC is incredibly hands-on in all the right ways, they're supportive and always looking for ways to add value. Being a part of their portfolio feels like being part of their family, with fantastic entrepreneurs I've known for a while as big names crowding in with newer faces and more experienced people I've only gotten to know through SVLC. Wherever you're at in your journey, SVLC can add value.”

Finless Foods

“Consuelo and the entire team at SV Latam Capital have been our strong champions, collaborators, and partners. SV Latam invested in GEn1E Lifesciences in 2019 and have been our consistent supporters and evangelists. They have helped us to achieve warp speed with maximum cost efficiency for bringing medicines to patients with rare inflammatory diseases, a huge unmet need and a $100B+ market size. The decision analysis process as a part of their diligence by SV Latam was an extremely useful exercise for us to think through the commercial milestones and value inflections points throughout our roadmap. In a nutshell, SV Latam is a dream partner for any passionate entrepreneur.”
