Our Story

Building the ecosystem startups needed to innovate

Every year, thousands of brilliant ideas failed. Not for lack of talent or passion, but because of the absence of a real ecosystem: no connections between startups and funds, no clear legal framework, no specialized mentorship. Startuplinks was born to change that, creating the first comprehensive ecosystem where startups, accelerators, investors, legal and technology providers connect to grow the best ideas in Latin America.

The problem no one wanted to see

"The talent is here. The ideas are here. We just needed to connect the pieces of the puzzle."

Every year, hundreds of startups with revolutionary ideas shut their doors. Not for lack of vision or hard work, but because they couldn't find investment, didn't know the laws, had no access to mentors, or simply didn't know that perfect acceleration programs existed for them. The talent was there, scattered and disconnected.

Startuplinks identified that the ecosystem didn't need more talent: it needed a real ecosystem. A platform where startups find investment funds, where accelerators discover the next unicorn, where specialized providers offer discounted services, where knowledge flows through courses and mentorships. A place where all the pieces of the entrepreneurial ecosystem finally connect.

The journey so far

2018

Identifying the problem

Deep analysis of the startup ecosystem: 90% of startups failed not due to bad products, but lack of connections. No clear investment laws, no mentor networks, no access to basic resources.

2019

Mapping the ecosystem

We documented over 500 startups, 50 investment funds, 30 accelerators, and 200 specialized providers. All working in isolation, unaware of each other's existence.

2020

First successful connection

Startuplinks connected its first startup with an investment fund. The startup didn't know the fund existed. The fund didn't know about the startup. Both were in the same city. That was the moment of validation.

2021

Expanding ecosystem

We integrated specialized legal services, cloud providers with discounts, mentorship programs, and the first courses designed specifically for the LATAM context.

2023

Measurable impact

Over $10M USD in facilitated investments, 200+ accelerated startups, 1,000+ strategic connections created. The ecosystem that didn't exist is now a vibrant reality.

2025

The LATAM innovation hub

Startuplinks is now the must-visit meeting point for the startup ecosystem: where collaborations are born, where investments close, where knowledge is shared, and where the best ideas in Latin America find their path to success.

"The talent is here. The ideas are brilliant. We just need to connect the pieces to become the next global innovation hub."
