Peruvian venture capital firm ADN.vc has officially confirmed securing an initial $2 million for its inaugural Fund I to support early-stage innovation in the region. The firm is actively seeking additional investors to reach a total capitalization of $4 million before the final closing deadline occurs in April 2026. Specializing in pre-seed investments, the fund targets high-potential startups within the Fintech and Proptech sectors across Latin America that demonstrate scalability.
Strategic Investment Focus
ADN.vc aims to build a diversified portfolio comprising approximately 24 startups throughout the Latin American region, having already invested in eight companies to date. The investment thesis specifically targets the intersection of financial technology and real estate solutions to address structural gaps in housing, infrastructure, and credit access. Currently, the firm maintains a robust pipeline with over 20 opportunities under active analysis as they seek to resolve deep-seated regional inefficiencies.
Leadership and Operational Model
The firm was founded in 2022 by Alberto Arrieta, Diego Alfageme, and Nicolás Di Pace, who bring complementary expertise in legal frameworks, venture capital, and financial technology. Arrieta leads a boutique legal firm, Alfageme co-founded Doktuz+, and Di Pace previously founded and led the payments fintech Culqi, which was acquired by Credicorp. They utilize a hands-on operational model that leverages these diverse backgrounds to provide specialized mentorship and commercial introductions to early-stage founders.
Portfolio Performance and Growth
Since the inception of its investment activities, the firm reports that its portfolio companies have achieved an aggregate revenue increase of 65 percent compared to their levels at the time of investment. Notable investments include Mexican cross-border payments platform Kira and Argentine real estate management company Lebané, both of which have shown significant traction in their respective markets. This growth validates the fund's ability to identify scalable business models within the competitive regional market and drive tangible results.
Follow-on Capital Success
Several portfolio companies have successfully secured substantial follow-on capital, demonstrating strong market confidence in their business models and the fund's selection process. For instance, Kira announced a significant $6.7 million Seed round in August 2025, while Finnecto successfully closed a $1.7 million Pre-Seed round earlier in the same year. Additionally, Lebané is poised to announce the closure of a $4 million Seed round this month, further consolidating the portfolio's valuation.
Regional Recognition and Future Plans
In recognition of its rapid impact on the ecosystem and unique positioning, ADN.vc received the prestigious "Best VC Revelation" award at the 2025 PropTech Latam Awards. The firm plans to maintain a steady investment pace of approximately ten transactions per year, deploying ticket sizes ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 to support high-growth potential. This strategy ensures consistent support for emerging innovation while managing risk through calculated portfolio diversification across the continent.
ADN.vc is positioning itself as a critical partner for Latin American entrepreneurs by bridging the significant gap between abundant local talent and scarce strategic accompaniment. By focusing on the convergence of real estate and finance, the fund addresses essential infrastructure and credit challenges that persist throughout the region. As it moves toward its final close in 2026, the firm remains committed to empowering the next generation of technology leaders with capital and expertise.
