🇦🇷 What’s Ahead for Argentina’s Venture Capital Ecosystem by 2025? Despite Argentina’s declining share in Venture Capital (VC) investments in Latin America—from 8% in 2021 to 1.6% in 2023 (according to LAVCA)—the country continues to demonstrate tremendous potential for growth in the coming years. Why Does Argentina Remain Attractive? - Growth in Deep Tech: Argentina generates 30% of the region’s deep tech startups but attracts just 5% of VC investments in this sector. -Rise in Notable Startups: Over the past four years, the number of startups securing over $1M in funding has grown by 2.6x. -Investment-to-GDP Ratio: In 2022, VC investment represented 0.12% of Argentina’s GDP, nearing Mexico’s 0.19%, showcasing a market with significant room for growth. Challenges for 2025 Argentina’s ecosystem, especially in frontier technologies, faces unique hurdles. Deep tech startups are particularly impacted by the "valley of death", a development curve that is longer and costlier than that of traditional technologies. Reaching scalability and commercialization stages remains a resource-intensive and complex process.
