VamosVentures is an early-stage fund providing capital and partnership to diverse teams solving real problems through scalable, tech-driven companies, grounded in the belief that diverse teams -- defined as at least one co-founder from an under-represented background, with a Latinx focus -- deliver better outcomes and stronger returns. It writes $500K-$4M checks at Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A (post-Series A case-by-case) into US-based, US-incorporated companies across Health & Wellness, FinTech, Future of Work, and Sustainability. Founders gain access to the firm's diverse talent network, mission-aligned LP base, and portfolio community. For founder matching, Vamos is strongest for Latinx and other under-represented founding teams with demonstrated traction (revenue, customer pipeline, product build) and credible fund-returning exit potential inside its four thesis sectors; teams without an under-represented co-founder are a structural non-fit.
