About this site

LatAm Secondaries covers one specific corner of private markets: the buying and selling ofexisting stakes in Latin American startups and funds β€” secondaries β€” in plain language, in three languages.

Why this site exists

Latin America produced a generation of highly valued private companies β€” and with IPO windows opening only rarely, the way early employees, angels, and funds actually get liquidity is increasingly through secondary transactions. Yet coverage of this market is thin, scattered, and almost entirely in English. This site exists to close that gap: regional coverage of secondary deals, tender offers, and pre-IPO liquidity, written for investors and allocators, in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

What we publish

Country guides for the region's largest markets, a weekly news roundup of notable secondary transactions, and the Secondaries Deal Tracker β€” a structured dataset of significant secondary sales and tender offers, marked premium or discount against each company's last primary round.

How the data is sourced

Every deal in the tracker and every news item links to a named public source: company announcements, regulatory filings, or reporting from established financial media. Secondary marks are what buyers and sellers agreed in a transaction β€” they are not audited figures and not company-endorsed valuations, and we label them that way. If we can't trace a number to a public source, we don't publish it.

What this site is not

This is not a marketplace, a broker, or an adviser. We do not sell shares, take fees from platforms we mention, or participate in transactions we cover. Nothing on this site is investment, legal, or tax advice β€” secondary transactions are jurisdiction-specific and usually restricted to accredited or qualified investors, so always verify the current rules in your market with a licensed professional.

Frequently asked questions

Is LatAm Secondaries a marketplace or broker?
No. This site does not buy, sell, or broker shares, does not take fees from platforms, and does not participate in any transaction it covers. It is an editorial project: coverage and data about the Latin American secondary market.
Where does the deal and news data come from?
Every tracker entry and news item is compiled from named public sources β€” company announcements, regulatory filings, and reporting by established financial media. Entries we cannot trace to a public source do not get published.
Can I rely on this site for investment decisions?
No. Everything here is educational. Secondary transactions are complex, jurisdiction-specific, and usually restricted to accredited or qualified investors β€” always verify current rules with a licensed professional in your market before acting.
