Built to be different.
From the get go.
Siuma Capital was founded with one goal in mind: building an independent investment bank committed to transforming the way business is done in Latin America. Our founders outlined a business model that would merge the structured, highly-technical best practices of Banking in Wall Street with the personalized, client-centric approach required to do business in Latin America. From the beginning, our teams’ unparalleled rolodex of relationships throughout Latin America & the globe allowed us to quickly position our firm as the preferred partner for Investment Banking in the region.
Since then, we have grown steadily, expanding our presence across 16 countries and leading transactions that have redefined regional standards. Today, we are more devoted than ever to our founders’ goal to remain different. We offer a plethora of Investment Banking services through tailormade processes and start-to-finish advisory to achieve our clients’ desired objectives. We strive to always be large enough to offer the most comprehensive advice, while remaining small enough to ensure our clients’ goals are always top of mind.
We are experts in finding the right partner for your business.
We capitalize on data to identify the right potential partners for your business. Our powerful in-house databases track movements in 50+ countries, giving our clients direct insight on decision-makers, investors, and strategic players across multiple industries and geographies.
Business Development
Our network is our #1 priority. Our business development team is focused exclusively on identifying investment opportunities in our network. The team works year-round to detect actionable opportunities by tying investors’ interests with the objectives of companies looking to exit or find a strategic partner.
Our network is not a static list of contacts. It is an active, constantly moving ecosystem that operates 24/7. Built over years of successful transactions and trust, it connects us to decision-makers, strategic partners, and investors across Latin America and beyond. This enables us to identify opportunities before they become public, create strategic introductions at the right time, and open doors that would otherwise remain closed.
Long-lasting Relationships
Our relationships go far beyond formal partnerships. Built over years of trust and collaboration, our network includes not only business allies but also personal relationships that our directors have built with owners of some of the most relevant corporations in Latin America and the Globe.

An investment bank for Latin America
Our presence is a reflection of our area of expertise: Investment Banking in Latin America.
Our network of active investors and relationships with corporations across Latin America have led us to actively offer advisory services across 15 economies in the region. That same interest from Latin American investors to venture into other regions led us to establishing a presence in the United States focused on advising companies looking to partner or sell to Latin American counterparts. As our investors’ interests expand to other regions like Europe or Asia, our eyes are set to enter said regions.
