History
Founded in 2008, Austral Capital is Chile’s first and most successful administrator of venture capital funds. Austral Capital has invested over US$65 million in technology and talented entrepreneurs, promoting the growth of its companies in the region and delivering attractive returns for its investors.
The company’s founding partner is Gonzalo Miranda, who was previously Managing Director of Endeavor Chile, a global organization that promotes high-impact entrepreneurship in emerging markets (www.endeavor.org).
The first investors behind Austral Capital are mainly well-known Chilean family offices and businesspeople, who had the vision to invest in technology when nobody was doing it.
Austral Capital’s model is to invest in the growth stage of technology service companies based in Latin America, providing capital, access to new markets and a clear philosophy of implementation in the companies in which it invests.
