ChileGlobal Angels is the leading angel investor network in Chile, founded in 2007 by Fundación Chile. It connects early-stage, high-growth startups with a network of experienced accredited investors to foster the Chilean and Latin American entrepreneurial ecosystem. 
  • Seed & Early-Stage: Targets startups that have progressed beyond the ideation phase.
  • Traction Required: Startups must have a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and, ideally, initial sales or validated pilot programs. They focus on companies ready for national or international scaling. 
  • Method: Founders apply through the ChileGlobal Angels application portal.
  • Materials: A pitch deck (in Spanish or English), an executive summary, and a clear description of the problem, solution, and business model.
  • Focus: They seek companies with high scalability and a defensible competitive advantage (e.g., unique technology or IP).

Eligibility

  • Sectors: Industry-agnostic, with a strong preference for Fintech, Agtech, EdTech, HealthTech, and SaaS.
  • Geography: Primarily targets startups based in Chile, but they are open to Latin American startups with a clear plan to enter the Chilean market or scale from it.
  • Exit Potential: Must demonstrate the potential for a significant exit (acquisition or IPO) within 5–7 years. 

Process

  1. Selection: A technical team reviews applications to filter for those meeting the investment thesis.
  2. Screening Committee: Selected startups pitch to a screening committee of experienced investors for a preliminary deep dive.
  3. Investment Forum: The top companies are invited to pitch at periodic Investment Forums to the full network of 30+ members.
  4. Due Diligence: If members express interest, a due diligence process (4–8 weeks) is conducted to verify financials, legal status, and technology.
  5. Investment: Members make independent decisions to commit capital, often facilitated through a syndicated structure. 

What an Applicant can Obtain

  1. Smart Capital: Funding from investors who provide not just money, but active strategic advice and board participation.
  2. Global Network: Access to Fundación Chile’s extensive network of international partners and corporate sponsors.
