Sacha Spitz, our Managing Partner, was at Y Combinator's Demo Day in San Francisco馃嚭馃嚫, where 196 startups took the stage, 149 of them AI or ML ventures: a clear read on where capital is flowing.
#VentureCapital#SanFrancisco
Garry Tan framed this batch around small teams now building what used to require entire companies, pointing to hard tech's almost 40x growth (a quarter of YC's cohort) as proof that capital and conviction are concentrating fast around AI.
Being in that room matters because it means staying close to where early-stage, long-term thinking gets put into practice at the pace this moment demands. LATAM founders belong in these conversations too, and that's why we show up 馃挭馃徏

Newtopia was at Volcano Innovation Summit 2026馃寢
One of the key gatherings for venture, founders and operators across LatAm. This year, we showed up on multiple fronts: Mariano Mayer and Victoria Akerman.
#Community#Ecosystem#VentureCapital
Turns out padel and networking go better together 馃幘 We sponsored the padel tournament at Volcano's side event. Victoria competed against founders, decision makers and investors from across the region, finishing second.
None of this happens without Janma Bardi, Marianne Springm眉hl and the Volcano team, who keep raising the bar on what this community can be.
See you next year馃挭馃徏

#NewtopiaVC#Portfolio
We connected face to face with founders across our portfolio: Creditop, Hunty, Lizit, Beu and Numbi.
One moment stood out: crossing paths with Julian N煤帽ez, co-founder of Yuno, part of our portfolio, right as the company announced its Series B.

Welcome Kapso to the Newtopia portfolio 馃挭馃徏
Andr茅s Matte is our first Chilean founder and that matters to us.
WhatsApp is the world's largest messaging platform, essential for users, but historically painful to build on. Kapso fixes that.
#Portfolio#NewInvestment
Kapso raised $1.4M with 28,000+ devs on the platform, with @woloski (@auth0 co-founder and part of our Community) among the angels.
As AI agents become economic actors, the comms layer matters more than ever.
Proud to back this journey 馃殌

Welcome to the Community 馃挭
馃敼 Foro de Inversiones de C贸rdoba | 7th edition馃嚘馃嚪
What stood out: the Argentine ecosystem growing well beyond Buenos Aires. Founders building with regional ambition, local and international actors in the same room, and conversations that don't appear on any agenda.
Being in these spaces is part of the thesis.
Smart capital requires real presence. Curated community doesn't get built from a distance. The best founders in LATAM can build global companies from anywhere on the map and it's worth being close to them from day one.
