Venture Capital in The Andean Region with Justin Schwartz from IMPAQTO Capital

Patrick Flood

In this episode I speak with Justin Schwartz, managing partner at IMPAQTO Capital. IMPAQTO is an impact investing fund focused on early stage startups in the Andean Region. Justin and IMPAQTO are both based in Ecuador, so this episode is full of useful information about Ecuador and the wider Andean Region.

Some of the topics covered include:

- Overview of the Venture Capital ecosystem in each Andean Country (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru).

- "Startup Chile" and attracting talent to the region.

- Learnings from one of the leading startup accelerator programs in the region.

- Case study of 2 IMPAQTO portfolio companies
