ALLVP

ALLVP is a Mexico City–based venture capital firm focused on early-stage and growth investments in Latin American technology and healthcare companies. The firm participates in seed, Series A, and growth financings while engaging with startup ecosystems across Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. ALLVP is known for investments in financial technology, healthcare, and digital marketplaces, and it collaborates with international limited partners and strategic investors.

History

ALLVP was founded in 2009 amid a wave of venture capital activity that included firms such as Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, SoftBank, Kleiner Perkins, and Accel Partners expanding their attention to emerging markets. Early in its history, ALLVP drew on relationships with regional actors like Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública (Mexico), IDB Invest, CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, and high-net-worth family offices from Monterrey, Mexico City, and Bogotá. The firm scaled alongside digital transformations in Latin America seen in transactions involving MercadoLibre, Rappi, Nubank, Despegar, and Cornershop, positioning itself to back local entrepreneurs. Over successive funds, ALLVP shifted from purely seed bets toward well-capitalized Series A and growth rounds, aligning with institutional limited partners such as World Bank Group affiliates and multinational pension funds. In the 2010s and 2020s its activity paralleled landmark events like the expansion of Open Banking initiatives in Mexico, regulatory movements by Banxico, and regional accelerator and incubator programs influenced by Y Combinator and 500 Startups.

Investment Strategy

ALLVP employs an investment thesis that targets scalable startups in verticals with structural demand, seeking out founders who can navigate regulatory and market complexities exemplified by entities like CONACYT, COFEPRIS, and Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social intersections. The firm emphasizes due diligence frameworks informed by case studies from companies such as SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio exits and growth patterns seen at Uber and Airbnb in Latin America. ALLVP typically leads or co-leads rounds alongside regional co-investors including Kaszek Ventures, QED Investors, Monashees, DGF Investimentos, and strategic corporate venture arms like BBVA's venture unit and Grupo Bimbo’s investment vehicles. Risk management incorporates scenario analyses referencing macro indicators tracked by IMF, World Bank, and OECD reports, while portfolio support includes introductions to partners at Microsoft for Startups, AWS Activate, and Google for Startups. Capital deployment balances sector concentration with geographic diversification across metropolitan hubs such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Medellín, and São Paulo.
