Socialatom is a unique hybrid - a venture capital firm with a unique approach to building its company culture by investing in its employees and the surrounding community.

building entrepreneurs without borders -
or how a financial company found out
what makes a company culture sizzle

2. Entrepreneurs with a
mission
Proving that venture capitalists can bring much
more to the table than just seed
money, Socialatom likes to say that their most
important venture is building the Latin American
entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their soup to nuts style
bridges the gap between just having the money —
and having the know-how to build your company.

3. Investing in Latin
America
Socialatom invests in global tech startups from across
the Americas, from sourcing talent pools to seed capital
vehicles and supporting infrastructure. Operating with
the notion that Silicon Valley doesn’t hold all the keys to
the kingdom, Socialatom believes talent is everywhere
though opportunity is not. With a motto to always pay it
forward, they actively seek global-minded business
executives who intend to use the knowledge, experience
and resources gained to continue as active investors
and mentors to Latin America’s next generation of global
entrepreneurs.

4. Medellin, Colombia
It also doesn’t hurt that they’re located in “The Land
of Eternal Spring,” Medellín, Colombia. Once upon
a time coffee and cartels made it famous — or rather
infamous. Now it’s known as the most innovative
city in the world, beating out Tel Aviv and New York
according to The Wall Street Journal in 2013. The
locals, called Paisas, have a reputation as traders,
partiers and lovers of music and soccer. It’s the
background buzz that gives Socialatom plenty of
energy.

6. Why Socialatom’s associates can count on
making more than money
Socialatom sees their associates as customers.
Their philosophy is to run the company with the
fundamental question of, “what would you do if you
didn’t have to work for money?” Believing that
everyone should explore their motivations and
reach their full potential, Socialatom nurtures talent
through programs like the Angel Partner Program.

7. Executive MBA for VC’s
This program is the first ‘Executive MBA’ for Venture
Investors in Latin America and is designed to build
expertise and a track record for up and coming
entrepreneurs. Socialatom wants to give associates all
the tools so they can succeed and be leaders in Latin
America and beyond.
Socialatom strives to bring up world-class investors able
to compete for the best deals in the world, maximize
their investment performance through sophisticated
portfolio strategies and personal branding.

8. Why Silicon Valley is now a state
of mind more than a place
Socialatom believes that global talent and
knowledge is just that — global. As more industries
become dependent on intellectual property then the
most valuable assets will be what entrepreneurs
generate and not the factory, not the machines, not
the building — the war for expertise is only going to
get harder and harder.
In the world of technology it’s becoming recognized
that the further away you move from Silicon Valley,
the better — financially, economically, everything.

9. Nurture & train talent anwhere – the
new normal
Socialatom builds the ecosystem in Latin America,
which in turn enhances connections to other startup
hubs. If you want to open up markets in other
countries you need to have a strong base in your
home country. Through programs and their
connections with the U.S. market, entrepreneurs
and engineers can get real hands-on experience
through advisory services, education and co-
working spaces, allowing entrepreneurs the space
to grow and thrive.
