We are the Venture Studio for Latin America
We are a group of entrepreneurs building digital platforms to empower the middle class of Latin America. We have a venture studio model, with ventures designed in-house using a proprietary business design methodology, then founding teams are recruited to lead them. Polymath remains deeply involved in our companies throughout their life cycles, providing strategy, operations & design-thinking methodologies support. Operating since 2012 and with offices in Bogota and Mexico City, Polymath has launched 9 ventures and raised US$30M+ of equity and debt financing across the group. We have raised three venture studio investment vehicles, achieving an unrealized IRR of 37%.
