Riogrande
We buy and grow D2C brands in LatAm
We acquire direct-to-consumer brands in Latin America's food and beverage sector, then grow them by integrating e-commerce, marketing, and operations to scale faster and more efficiently than founders can alone.
We live in Mexico City, and the company is based here now. After YC, it would remain based here.
Mexico City is the center of many emerging LatAm e-commerce brands and has the founders embedded in the market. It lets us source and operate these food and beverage D2C brands closely with our team.
