More than a dozen climate and biodiversity collaboratives advance system-change in Latin America. Actors with different mandates, time horizons and risk appetites – but common objectives – are blending their capital to support biodiversity protection and climate resilience in Latin America. “Climate change, biodiversity loss, inequality and financing gaps are deeply interconnected. No single organization, investor or source of capital can address them alone,” Paula Ramirez of Latimpacto, the regional network of impact investors, writes in a guest post. Ramirez highlights more than a dozen examples of multistakeholder partnerships across the region, mapped by Latimpacto. It may seem obvious, she says, "but partnerships are one of the most effective ways to move from isolated interventions to systemic change.”
Ana Care raises seed funding to formalize homecare for seniors in Latin America. Informal workers provide much of the home care needed by Latin America's seniors. Mexican startup Ana Care is working to formalize elder homecare with scheduling, caregiver training and digital payments, as well as AI-powered patient monitoring. The company raised early funding from Impact Ventures PSM's seed fund, a $5 million impact vehicle managed by Chile-based Impacta VC. “By professionalizing, training and supporting caregivers through AI, the company improves health outcomes, reduces costs for families, and strengthens a sector essential to Latin America's future,” IVPSM’s Octaviano Couttolenc said. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Closing the gender gap in Latin America's mobile workforce. Women are out in the field across Latin America, delivering goods, installing solar panels, providing community-based services and keeping infrastructure running. Yet jobs with the highest pay, technical certifications and supervisory responsibility remain overwhelmingly male. For Bogotá-based ALIVE Ventures, closing the gender gap is an opportunity to bridge the skills gap as well. ALIVE found that expanding women's access to technical and supervisory roles can help portfolio companies strengthen hiring, reduce turnover and build more resilient businesses in addition to better economic opportunities for women.
