Agave Lab is a company-builder that invests seed capital in new, Mexican startups. Our model is unique:- We begin by targeting traditional sectors in Mexico and Latin America that are underutilizing technology and are ready for disruption and rapid adoption.- We work with business leaders in these sectors to identify areas of real-worldproblems. - Then, we find entrepreneurs to innovate within the limits of these problem areas. - We invest only after business leaders agree to be clients, board members, future investors and/or potential acquirers. - We developed the initial product using the internal Agave Lab team while providing aggressive, daily, and practical mentoring and training to the founders.
