A venture capital firm’s success is dependent on its portfolio – and entrepreneurs succeed more easily when they engage with knowledgeable VCs and peers.
We launched IGNIAunlocked as a project to complement IGNIA‘s other value-add activities. We believe the VC field in Mexico and Latin America is evolving, and we expect deeper collaboration with portfolio companies to become a central focus moving forward. We want to position ourselves at the forefront of this change.
IGNIAunlocked will evolve over time based on feedback from our entrepreneurs and management teams. Our goal is to create a useful resource to help our portfolio companies’ management teams save time, find useful information, and learn. We envision an entrepreneur logging in to check the steps s/he needs to take to prepare for their next fundraising roadshow or organize their next board meeting. Or a COO logging in to look at hiring best practices and vendors (recruiting agencies, legal firms, PR firms, etc.)
