Forging Latin Americantechnical foundersinto standout startups.

In LatAm there are thousands of founders with big ideas, solving real problems in massive markets.
Most never get started because no one gives them that first vote of confidence.

Platanus solves that.

Natan, CEO of Felz

Risk-averse mentality is a curse for startups.

Funds in LatAm tend to favor safer investments: traction, traditional founder's CVs, proven business model.

Pre-seed funds should invest in the unknown to maximize economic upside.

We invest $200,000 in the earliest stages of tech startups.

Fast.

Real liberation capital so talent can thrive.
