The Mexican startup scene has been making great strides in recent years. The success of giants like Uber, Facebook, Instagram, and Spotify has proven the country to be one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing tech markets.
Currently, fintech is the top sector, but logistics and distribution are close behind with solutions for megacities and transportation being two other major trends.
Only Brazil beats out Mexico in terms of investment in Latin America. In 2018 alone $175M was invested across 95 transactions, growing invested capital by over 119%. This upwards trend continued with investors like SoftBank announcing a $5B Latin American fund. New international investors like Sequoia, A16z, Goldman Sachs, and others are bringing backing to the ecosystem. While Mexico has faced challenges with attracting top talent, the growing pool of investment capital is creating a cornucopia of opportunities.
Another outstanding factor is Mexico’s internet userbase of 84M people. What’s more, mobile growth in Latin America is expected to grow three times faster than in China.
As Mexico enters its stride, Mexican talent has increasingly founded new companies to pursue their visions. All of these trends point to Mexico developing into a tech powerhouse.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now
Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
