Be a part of the growing momentum of Latin American Entrepreneurs through the first Colombian fund of funds.

Bancóldex Capital Fund of Funds allows the mobilization of resources towards the Private Equity and Venture Capital industry in Colombia and the region (Latin America), and thus develop alternative financing mechanisms for entrepreneurs and companies. The Fund of Funds is leveraged on Bancoldex’s accumulated experience since 2008, date in which the Bancoldex Capital Program was conceived (in operation since February 2009), which has served as an action framework to make investments in PE&VC funds, with the Bank resources.

The Fund of Funds will invest in Private Equity, Venture Capital Funds and Private Debt Funds, or investment vehicles that have such nature under its jurisdiction. The Fund of Funds will have a target size of COP 300.000 million (approx. USD 100 million), and in order to meet the strategic interests of different investors, it’s structured by sub-funds: i) Capital to Grow (Private Equity Funds - PE), and Capital for Entrepreneurs (Venture Capital Funds - VC). 

In 2009 the operation of Capital for Entrepreneurs began, with commitments of USD34 million from Bancóldex as General Partner and anchor investor, Innpulsa Colombia, Minciencias, DFI and a Corporate investor, the objective is to reach USD50 million.  Bancóldex will seek to make investments in venture capital funds that invest in companies or projects that belong to the main sectors of the economy, these being: commerce, industry, tourism and services. And mainly, in entrepreneurships that include digital innovation as a business model pillar, removed from traditional extraction of raw materials models and leveraged on new information technologies.

Fund of funds has built a pipeline of 49 venture capital funds, of which 3 have signed commitments and 4 have approved commitments, and 23 funds have been discarded, closing with a pipeline of 17 current opportunities.

To date, fund of funds has mobilized USD 62 million in resources to companies, where 25% of these are Colombian companies.

Bancóldex has a team exclusively dedicated to managing the investment portfolio which has more than 40 years of joint experience in private equity funds.
