About PERSEA
PERSEA Ventures was established in 2024 with a clear mission: to address the persistent reliance on legacy technology that hinders progress in Latin America. Co-founders Germán Pugliese Bassi and Martín Galante, following the landmark $1.1 billion sale of Technisys to SoFi in early 2022, recognized the untapped potential for transformative innovation in the region. Leveraging their successful partnership, they joined forces once again to assemble a powerhouse team, deeply entrenched in the Latin American ecosystem, with a proven track record of driving regional growth and innovation.
Building on a collective 45+ years of experience navigating Latin America's unique challenges and opportunities, the co-founders and their team identified critical pain points in the market. Their journey—encompassing financial crises, scaling operations across 20 countries, and overcoming regional fragmentation—ignited their commitment to empower the next generation of founders.
Through a combination of deep expertise, strategic insight, and an unwavering dedication to fostering innovation, PERSEA Ventures is poised to redefine the technological landscape of Latin America, driving superior performance and accelerating the region's path to success.
