The Pitch Decks of 20 Latin American Startups that Raised over US$1 Million

Written by: Katie Griffing from Launchway Media

Raising startup funding in Latin America is hard, but it is getting easier. In the first half of 2019, VC investment in Latin American startups totaled $2.6 billion, according to LAVCA. That compares to just under $2 billion raised in all of 2018.

Capital is flowing into Latin America, and as a result, startups are increasingly garnering attention from both local and foreign VCs. But what goes into creating a powerful pitch to secure investment?

A creative pitch deck presentation is often an essential element of the fundraising process. Therefore, we gathered some of the pitch decks that Latin American startups have created and used over the years on the road to successfully securing capital for their ventures.

If you are preparing a pitch deck to present to investors, or if you’re simply curious to learn more about some of the most successful companies in the region, then these pitch decks can provide a lot of valuable insights and ideas.  

Here’s a look at the pitch decks of some of Latin America’s startups that have raised at least $1 million in venture capital over the years.
