In 2020, companies with a regional geographic strategy raised approximately 40 percent of the capital investments received by Latin American tech startups (also called Tecnolatinas). Meanwhile, businesses targeting the Brazilian market concentrated around 35 percent of the capital raised by Tecnolatinas in 2020. This pattern is consistent with the rise of venture capital (VC) investments in the increasingly attractive Brazilian market, which accounted for over 50 percent of all VC deals closed in Latin America in 2019.
