The Chilean Venture Capital Association warmly welcomes its new partner Amarena Limitada and its managers Josefina Valdés, Maximiliano Valdés and Franco Mellafe.
This is the second family office to join ACVC, after it expanded its membership category to include the participation of family-owned companies investing in startups.
Amarena, Patricia Angelini's FFOO, aims to invest with impact, i.e. it supports startups from all sectors that focus on improving the quality of life of people in Latin America (but also considers exceptions with a global focus), to make the region a fairer society, with greater inclusion and more opportunities in all areas.
This is reflected in its portfolio, which includes Betterfly, Xepelin, Kwali, DentalTor, Ameiz, Levita Magnetics, Praxis, Capta Hydro, FOOD 4 FUTURE - EXPO FOODTECH, iEntropia and Atida.
The ACVC also welcomes BICECORP, one of its newest partners and a member of the new group of affiliated companies that work systematically with startups.
BICECORP, through BICE VENTURES, is exploring new development and investment opportunities that will help accelerate its innovation and digitalization process in each of the businesses in which it participates; banking, insurance, investments, autofinance, among others.
As part of this process, BICECORP developed its first fintech Clever By BICE, a digital investment platform that offers tools and advice to help users make the best financial decisions.
Going forward, BICECORP expects to continue developing new businesses, alliances and investments in startups with which it can generate synergies and mutual benefits.
