06The Best 100 · class of 2026

The Best 100.

The Americas' top Latino and LatAm early-stage startups, referred by leading funds and unveiled live during Latino Tech Week. Alphabetical within sector, no ranking. Powered by Cooley · Organized by Colectivo.

225
Nominees reviewed: 103
Honorees selected: 21
Sectors represented: 25
Funds referring startups

How the list is built

01
Team is unreasonable
Founders with an unfair advantage, deep conviction and urgency, checked against bio, track record and fund references.
02
Velocity is visible
Shipping, revenue and traction moving faster than expected for the stage — scored on funding, revenue and raising momentum.
03
Latino angle is structural
The Latino / LatAm edge is load-bearing: mispriced markets, distribution nobody can replicate, lived-experience advantage.

Three layers of selection

L1
Form analysis
Eligibility, stage and scoring across ~225 applications.
L2
Fund conviction vote
25 funds refer and vote on startups they would back.
L3
Committee
Convergence, debate on the marginal band, then diversity quotas as hard constraints.

By stage: Pre-Seed 59 · Seed 33 · Pre-Series A 11
