Attom Capital is a venture capital firm based in Mexico City that operates in Latin America's secondary market for private equity. The firm purchases secondary stakes in selected startups, providing liquidity to early shareholders - founders, employees, and early investors - when formal exit opportunities are not yet available. This model addresses a specific constraint in emerging markets where company timelines may extend well beyond typical venture return expectations.
The firm's investment approach is conviction-driven, targeting companies it identifies as having demonstrable fundamentals rather than those riding market momentum. Secondary transactions are described as targeted and intentional, with selection criteria focused on breakout companies rather than broad portfolio acquisition. The mechanism serves dual purposes: it enables early shareholders to realise partial returns and relieves founders of pressure to exit prematurely, allowing them to continue building their businesses.
Attom Capital reinvests a portion of proceeds back into the broader Latin American startup environment, positioning itself as an ecosystem participant rather than a transactional investor. The firm frames its role as one of alignment and acceleration - strengthening cap tables over time while respecting the founder journey and long-term value creation.
