We acquire and operate profitable SMEs in Chile.
A long-term partner for SME owners looking for their next chapter.
If you own a Chilean SME and are thinking about your next chapter, Humboldt Capital may be the right partner. We solve the succession problem and look after your legacy.
Many Chilean SME owners reach a point where they wonder who will carry on what they built: retirement is approaching, there is no clear successor, or they simply want to start a new chapter. Humboldt Capital exists for that conversation.
We acquire profitable, well-managed businesses, look after their teams and customers, and bring capital, operating experience and technology to take them into a new phase of growth.
We look for solid businesses and owners ready for the transition.
What we offer: an approach that secures your legacy and accelerates your company's growth.
We aim to acquire one company and dedicate ourselves fully to its development. We will be deeply involved in the business from an operational standpoint. Our success depends exclusively on the company's future success.
We are interested in building strong, sustainable companies over time. We take a long-term view, supporting the team and strengthening the business step by step.
We understand technology in depth and have experience investing in artificial intelligence internationally. We look to apply digital and AI tools where they truly add value, to improve processes and expand the business's margins.
Our international experience and our global investor network help us identify growth opportunities beyond the local market.
Humboldt Capital is led by Constanza Diaz, its founder, together with more than 10 international and Chilean investors. Constanza returned to Chile in 2026 after 10 years in Europe. After graduating as an industrial engineer from Pontificia Universidad Católica, she began her career as a strategy management consultant at Montblanc Consulting, working in sectors such as energy, retail, manufacturing and financial services, among others.
In Europe, she continued her career in the Netherlands at ING bank, where she was part of the project that implemented Open Banking. She then moved to London, where she earned an MBA from London Business School. She gained experience in private equity and investment banking in London and served as Strategy and Transformation Manager at Vertiv, a leader in data center products.
Over the last 5 years, she invested close to US$100m as an investor at Octopus Ventures, one of Europe's largest and most active venture capital funds, with around US$2 billion under management. She led software and artificial intelligence (AI) investments end to end, from initial evaluation through closing, and served as a director at several portfolio companies.
Humboldt Capital is backed by a group of serial investors with experience supporting SMEs around the world. With ample dry powder to accelerate the growth of our investments and strengthen your legacy, together with a global perspective.
