Impact investing and bio-businesses in Latin AmericaLATAM

Stage 4 of 4, 2024 to today

Finance

Today I prepare companies for a specific type of capital.

The stage

100+organisations supported in their investment readiness

Since 2024 my work has centred on investment readiness: preparing impact companies for the financing that fits their stage. I work with funders, investment funds and international cooperation. I have supported more than 100 organisations so far, with NESsT, Qallariy, CODESPA and Climathon, among others.

I am Technical Lead of the Impact Investing Unit of Swisscontact in Colombia. The public investment readiness programme works across 3 verticals: sustainable agriculture, natural ingredients and circular economy.

At Fondo de Impacto, as COO and Co-founder, I run the fund’s operations and the Investment Passport platform. My field is the design of the investment thesis and the eligibility criteria for companies.

In 2026 I evaluated 25 bio-businesses for NESsT AmazonBeEco, with IDB Lab, and prepared 8 business plans with their financial models. With CODESPA I taught the business model, costing and financing modules to 68 participants. In Ucayali I lead the access-to-capital component and the design of the first Bio/Builders pilot, with Pruébalo.
