Catalyzing Latin America’s Venture Capital Ecosystem: IDB Lab and Monashees

Venture capital in Latin America and the Caribbean is more than funding, it drives innovation, economic growth, and social change. As tech hubs expand, VC ecosystems help startups scale, tackle critical challenges, and turn bold ideas into lasting impact. In this episode of IDB Lab’s Investment Agenda series, we talk with Monashees, a pioneering venture capital firm in Latin America, about their role in building the regional VC industry, supporting early-stage startups, and developing transformative technologies. We explore success stories like Vammo, an electric mobility company revolutionizing Brazil’s gig economy with battery-swapping infrastructure for motorbikes. IDB Lab partners with funds like Monashees to empower diverse talent, bring global best practices to emerging markets, and foster a sustainable growth cycle that thrives across market conditions.
