Thesis
The long term vision of Twelve Hundred VC is to become the leading partner from the Seed stage towards local, regional, global and planetary impact.
We partner with emerging Fund Managers (Pre-Seed to Series A) and Startup Founders (investing directly at the Series A) through a professionalized hybrid approach that aims to “diversify and concentrate” the exposure to Venture Capital while generating differentiated data, insights, and upside across strategic sectors. We nurture relationships and align strategies with domain experts, thoughtful investors, and top emerging companies, while investing in the impact that DeepTech and foundational technologies will have for societies to thrive in the decades to come - the next era of industrial and technological development.
1200 as the gateway for capital, early-stage technology and solutions across borders that create transformative value and contribute to the development of thriving societies.
Our hybrid model (Funds + Directs) invests in a balanced portfolio of mature and emerging ecosystems, which allows us to offer an attractive risk-return profile to investing in tomorrow’s technologies. We aggregate intelligence from actively collaborating with diverse types of stakeholders, so we can identify local innovators and the relevance of what they are building for a better future.

Our hybrid strategy allows us to capture value from the earliest stages of technology development through a diversified VC portfolio of emerging and specialised Fund Managers.
We complement this Fund of Funds strategy with a strong Directs strategy where we invest into outlier companies, all the while following an active portfolio management approach with a robust data layer that allows us to generate differentiated insights to make the right investments.
The spectrum of technology innovation (DeepTech, Tech-Based, Tech-Enabled) and cross-regional approach (North America, Latin America) aims to identify and support technologies that are found across different technological waves build upon strategic synergies.
