Mexico is one of the largest and fastest growing markets globally for tech companies. It ranks ahead of Brazil for both Ease of Doing Business and Global Innovation. Mexico is already the leader for financial innovation in Latin America, with the highest number of Fin-tech startups in the region. Some of those startups already launched have shown excellent growth, demonstrating the potential of the country for disruption. Mexico’s startup ecosystem has an extremely positive outlook. Majority of Mexico’s startups are located in Mexico city and Monterrey.
Three major cities in Mexico – Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara are at the forefront of the innovative movement and each city is contributing intensely to the growth of the startup ecosystem in Mexico. Numerous studies indicate that early-stage businesses experience greater challenges to grow due to insufficient access to relevant financial and technical support. Angel investors play a critical role in laying the groundwork for startups by providing essential resources. Angel Investors helps startups to grow and expand.
