🦄 Soonicorn Club (LIVE)

Seeing the Latin American venture ecosystem’s unprecedented momentum, we asked ourselves: which Latin American company would become the next unicorn?

Last update: 9th of September, 2022.

To put it another way, which of them would enter our Soonicorn Club?

To better answer this question, we have been tracking down startups with an estimated value of more than $100M which are not yet unicorns, but might be soon.

We’ve been fascinated by the results that we update weekly here.

Soonicorn immigrant founders in Mexico 🛫

Most recently, we wanted to know the role foreign founders play in the Mexican Soonicorn landscape. We found that 59% of all Mexican soonicorns have at least one foreign founder! #Powertotheimmgrant
