From Capital to Return: Strategies to Unlock Liquidity in LatAm’s VC Industry
San Jose, California, USA – May 20, 2025. Unlocking liquidity and strengthening the investment markets for startups, venture capital, and innovation in Latin America is not only possible—it is urgent for accelerating the region’s economic development. However, achieving this requires coordination among multiple stakeholders and the implementation of complementary strategies across various time horizons.
This report outlines actions ranging from short-term measures—such as the development of secondary markets and the promotion of a stronger exit culture—to long-term initiatives like regulatory adaptation to enable pension fund participation and sustained efforts to improve the region’s global reputation as an innovation investment destination.
The path toward a more liquid and dynamic ecosystem does not rely on a single solution but rather on the sum of strategic and sustained efforts. The proposals presented here offer a concrete roadmap toward one of the most transformative and necessary shifts for Latin America: the creation of an environment that facilitates capital flow, drives innovation, and generates long-term growth opportunities.
