— Our History & Commitment
Nazca was founded in 2014 with a challenging mission: to empower the best leaders in Mexico and Latin America, fully based on merit. To balance the status-quo between capital and talent. We believe that by doing so, we are setting our region on a path towards social and economic success.
By empowerment, we mean building the ultimate environment for each of our founders to thrive in. An environment where every leader and their teams can flourish and reach their maximum potential, faster. We provide multi-stage venture capital, early on. We deliver unique peer-learning opportunities as well as unparalleled expert networks. We enable unprecedented access to key stakeholders and critical gatekeepers. We facilitate swift entry and preferred relationships with renowned commercial partners. We help identify and persuade the most talented individuals to join our founders' teams. And most importantly, we do all this while creating a lasting and sustainable friendship.
Nazca [nahs-kah]:
1. In Spanish, to be born, to rise.
2. A tectonic division of the earth's crust, which unites various geographies of Latin America.
