Empire State of LatAm Mixer: LPs & GPs #LavcaWeek2026
Empire State of LatAm
LPs & GPs during LAVCA Week
LAVCA Week brings the LatAm investing world to New York. For the past four years, we've made sure the right people end up in the same room: Latin American GPs and U.S.-based LPs, for an evening of real conversations and high-impact connections. This year, we're back in SoHo. Limited spots.
Hosted by Andrés Cano, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Pygma, and Co-Founder, Colectivo, Nicolás Toro, Head of LatAm, SVB (Silicon Valley Bank); and Alex Santana, Senior Investor Manager, VC & Startup Partnerships, AWS
Why we're gathering
The best relationships in venture start before the term sheet. This evening is built for GPs raising or deploying in Latin America and the LPs looking for access to the region, so you can meet, compare notes on deals and trends, and leave with connections that matter.
What to expect
Curated networking between top LatAm GPs and U.S. LPs
Candid conversations on where the opportunities are in LatAm right now
Cocktails and Italian bites at a retro-style restaurant in the heart of SoHo
A relaxed, premium setting made for real conversations, not pitches
While not an official LAVCA Week event, this evening is hosted in support of LAVCA Week and with the knowledge of the LAVCA team.
