New Ventures is Latin America’s only impact investment holding, operating since 2004 across three core areas: financing, acceleration, and ecosystem building. Over the years, we have run up to 15 acceleration programs annually across LATAM and have supported more than 2,000 entrepreneurs. Since 2022, New Ventures operates MAR+Invest, a regional blended finance initiative developed with strategic partners (MAR Fund, Healthy Reefs for Healthy People, Sureste Sostenible, and Viwala) backed by the Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR). Through a combination of grants, concessional capital, reduction of loans through impact/outcome payments, and a guarantee fund, it de-risks reef-positive ventures to attract new sources of private capital and provides tailored technical assistance, mentorship, business development services, and access to financing.
