Epakon Capital is a high-growth, early-stage (pre-seed to seed) venture capital fund investing in category-defining businesses across emerging markets — for founders, by founders. The firm invests primarily across three verticals: Enterprise AI, Consumer, and Fintech, with a particular focus on backing extraordinary founders from Venezuela and Latin America. Founded by operators who built Yummy (YC S21), Epakon sources deals from the Harvard ecosystem, Y Combinator, accelerators, and its network of co-investors, writing first or second checks of $50K–$300K into founders ready to build industry-changing, multi-billion dollar companies.
