Impactaland 2025: The Hub Connecting Investors, LPs and Latin America’s Boldest Startups
Santiago, Chile, November 2025 — The largest entrepreneurship event in Latin America - ETM Day - delivered on its promise. From November 20 to 22, Parque Bicentenario became the stage where more than 50,000 people wrote the next chapter of regional innovation.
Impactaland: Where Capital Meets Purpose
At the heart of ETM Day 2025, Impactaland cemented its position as the most relevant investment hub in the region. Led by Impacta VC, this one-thousand-square-meter space brought together startups, venture capital funds, LPs, angel investors, and corporates across four strategic zones designed around a single mission: turning ideas into real businesses.
One-on-one meetings between investors and founders, high-caliber panels, and candid conversations between VCs and entrepreneurs made Impactaland the place where connections do not end with business cards, but with term sheets.
Promotora Social México: 15 Years Redefining Impact Capital
One of the standout presences was Impact Ventures PSM, the investment arm of Promotora Social México. With 15 years of experience, the organization reaffirmed its leadership in the panel “Who Are the Limited Partners?”, where Octaviano Couttolenc, Investment Director, shared a clear message:
“PSM has spent 15 years working in the impact investing space. Today, under the Impact Ventures PSM brand, we operate our own investment vehicles focused on supporting people at the base of the pyramid, driving financial inclusion, health, and education.”
With two active vehicles —the LATAM Fund for Series A in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile, and the IVPSM Seed Fund in partnership with Impacta VC with tickets from USD $100K to $300K— Promotora Social México showed that social impact is not a side commitment but the engine of sustainable returns.
Cuantico VP Reveals the Chilean Startups That Will Shape 2026
On Saturday, November 22, Cuantico VP took part in the panel “Chile's Top Startups To Watch For 2026: Lessons and Learnings from Spotting Those Building the Future”, moderated by Manuela Lópera from Startuplinks and featuring Jörn Bethke, Co-founder of AQUIT, Jose Kont, Executive Director of Cuantico VP, and Ileana Figueroa, CEO of Pulso Capital.
The conversation tackled a provocative question: What if the most transformative solutions for Latin America are already being built today, but remain invisible? The conclusion: early-stage visibility is not a luxury; it is a strategic necessity for the ecosystem.
Trends That Position Chile as a Regional Hub
The Top Startups to Watch 2026 ranking by Cuantico VP highlighted 12 startups that mirror the verticals where Chile is setting the pace:
| Vertical | Featured Startups | Key Trend |
|---|---|---|
| SaaS / AI | diio, Rankmi, AgendaPro, Toteat, Magnar AI | Intelligent automation and AI assistants applied to sales, HR, restaurants, and legal workflows |
| Fintech | Toku, Creditú | Democratizing mortgage access and automating collections through AI |
| Healthtech & Biotech | Luyef, AQUIT, Gokei | Cellular agriculture, sustainable aquaculture, and digitized medical reimbursements |
| Retail & Ecommerce | REITE, Vestua | Computer-vision-powered autonomous stores and circular fashion |
In 2024, Chilean venture capital raised USD $205 million, positioning the country as the sixth most active market in Latin America. Success stories such as Toku —which closed the largest Series A round led by a female founder in the region— and Magnar AI —which achieved 100% month-over-month growth in just five months— confirm that Chilean talent is ready to scale.
ETM Day 2025 sent a clear message: Latin American innovation does not wait. It is being built today, with purpose, smart capital, and the conviction that the solutions the world needs are already emerging in our region.
