20 February 2026: Lightrock, a global investment platform backing purpose-driven companies, today announces the opening of its Mexico City office to strengthen its network, deployment, and impact in Latin America.

Mexico City represents Lightrock's eighth global location and second in Latin America, complementing the firm's Sao Paulo operations. The new office will work closely with Lightrock's Sao Paulo office and its London headquarters as the firm builds out its Mexico City team.

Lightrock manages approximately $800 million in Latin America, with its strategies investing in growth-stage companies across its impact themes of People, Planet and Productivity. Lightrock's investments in Mexico include Konfio (SME-focused lender supporting business growth) and SalaUno (a network of clinics offering affordable eye healthcare).

“We are delighted to establish a permanent presence in Mexico, building on our existing partnerships with leading institutions and scaleups in the country. Mexico is exceptionally well-positioned to benefit from global megatrends, from nearshoring to energy transition, and we are excited to deepen our investment activity and impact in Mexico.”

Marcos Wilson Pereira, Partner and Head of Latin America at Lightrock, commented:

“Latin America represents a significant opportunity for our global platform, and the opening of our Mexico City office marks an important milestone in our regional commitment. With operations in both of Latin America's largest economies, Lightrock is better positioned to meet the growing demand for investment solutions offering exposure to fast-growing, purpose-driven companies.”
