In 2018, complementing the peer nomination process, LAVCA reviewed the investment teams of all active Latin American VC funds, producing a list of 82 senior-level and 47 mid- and junior-level investment professionals.
In 2024, the list was expanded beyond VC, featuring prominent women across PE, Infrastructure and Real Estate. The 2024 Top & Emerging Women Investors list includes 196 senior-level and 306 junior-level women investment professionals across asset classes.
