ABOUT US

Meet our founders.

Led by Tomas Denecken, Salvador Said, Paula Giraldo, and Daniel Kranzler, 30N Ventures invests at Series A — with disciplined flexibility around the stage — and engineers exits from day one through a dedicated in-house M&A area. Backed by the partners' track record and a deep circle of industry experts, 30N Ventures is built to be the strategic partner for founders looking to consolidate their market and expand across borders.

The team brings deep early-growth and private-equity expertise: 75+ years of combined experience, over 2,000 companies diligenced, 300+ investments made, and over USD 6 billion in assets under management across previous mandates.

WE'RE BUILDING A NEW STANDARD FOR EARLY-GROWTH INVESTING — ONE WHERE EXITS AREN'T DISTANT OUTCOMES, BUT THE STARTING POINT. WE’RE RESHAPING THE ODDS, NOT JUST GAMBLING ON THEM.

Pioneering growth
below the 30th parallel.

30N Ventures focuses on the regions below the 30th parallel — LatAm, Africa, SEA, and MENA — where the next generation of category-defining companies is being built. Our footprint is designed for proximity: untapped potential and vibrant innovation in these fast-growing economies.

This approach leverages the untapped potential and vibrant innovation in these fast-growing economies, driving entrepreneurial savviness and technological progress and underscoring 30N's commitment to global entrepreneurship and innovation.

A new playbook for
early-growth investing.

This vision is grounded in a structured execution strategy. We reshape the landscape by anchoring our process on three distinct pillars: early exit engineering, deep operator expertise, and a disciplined focus on data over speculation to secure liquidity.

1. Liquidity Comes First.

From the very first assessment, 30N's liquidity playbook is the deciding factor. We don't hope for exits, we engineer them.

Our dedicated M&A area studies scenarios from day one and proposes concrete, realistic exit paths through secondaries and strategic acquisitions.
