In January 2023, Amplo Inversión de Impacto acquired 100% of Velum Ventures' shares, aiming to mobilize over US$38 million to close development gaps in Latin America. This acquisition positions Amplo as a leader in high-impact investments in the region, amplifying its reach through investments that leverage digital technologies to achieve environmental impact.
