ENYA Ventures will be judging Startup Avenue at Volcano Summit next week with pre-seed on Saturday and the Early Stage final on Monday.

ENYA Ventures is a pre-seed fund built on one specific combination: AI-native founders in Spanish-speaking Latin America. Each part is strong on its own. AI lets a two-person team test deeper, learn faster, and show real evidence before raising. Latin America's founder quality is improving faster than its capital availability. Combined, they amplify each other. AI collapses the cost of proving a business, and LatAm is where proof has always been the bottleneck: customers with urgent problems, honest validation signals, and a capital gap that is widest at pre-seed. The same tools buy more progress here, per dollar, than in any saturated market. We write first checks, work operationally close to founders, and underwrite the whole path from day one: early ownership, capital-efficient company building, and a disciplined handoff to global downstream capital. ENYA was selected for the inaugural Decile Access cohort of emerging managers. Founders: apply at enya.vc LPs and co-investors: lorenzo@enya.vc
