Barrilete Ventures

Barrilete Ventures is the first venture capital fund in Guatemala, structured as a trust under Banco Industrial, dedicated to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship throughout Latin America. We support early-stage startups that address real-world challenges by providing them with capital, mentorship, and strategic guidance to help them scale and succeed. Our mission is simple: to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs who are creating solutions to drive sustainable economic growth. We believe in making a lasting impact by bridging the gap between visionary startups and the capital they need to thrive. Startups can submit their proposals to Barrilete Ventures regardless of their participation in our university program. We offer a financing structure with our exclusive $5,000 scouting ticket for universities, followed by institutional tickets of $25,000 and $50,000. Join us as we build the future of Guatemala and Latin America, one startup at a time.
