In addition, the funds and main investors have a great appetite for the country’s entrepreneurs and this is relevant because we live in a context where there is a global slowdown in investment. Latin American startups and the opportunity they generate continue to be attractive to investors” specified Augusto Cáceres, Director of Peru Venture Capital.
The conversation spaces that were opened in Peru Venture Capital 2022 served to create connections between the main actors of the ecosystem and the startups.
