100+ LPs in Costa Rica to meet the next generation of venture capital firms.
Join us for the inaugural RAISE LATAM, a private gathering of LPs and emerging VC managers in Costa Rica.

This exclusive gathering will bring together 20 exceptional GPs and ~100 top-tier LPs to showcase the vibrancy and growth of the LATAM venture capital ecosystem. 

The event will spotlight emerging LATAM-based VCs, rigorously selected through a process inspired by the prestigious RAISE Global Summit in San Francisco, alongside US-based VCs from the trusted RAISE network. 

Participating LPs will include leaders from LATAM-based Fund of Funds, Institutional Investors, Family Offices, and U/HNW individuals, all carefully vetted for active VC mandates and prior investments in LATAM and US-based funds.
