Flores Acevedo

Focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, technology and services, Flores Acevedo's corporate and venture capital department in Santiago is well known for its advice to start-ups, entrepreneurs, inventors, companies, and research and development entities. The firm’s start-up clients routinely receive early seed funding from public subsidies, predominantly Chile’s economic development agency (CORFO), or are part of business incubators and accelerators, such as Start-up Chile, Imagine Lab Chile, IncubaUdeC, G100, Startup Biobío and MadeInn Conce; the practice’s track record includes acting for start-up founders on both initial angel investments and follow-on investments by domestic and international venture capitalists. ‘Able to adapt to clients’ needs’, the group also advises on IP matters and capital raising processes, as well as assisting with initial sets of legal documents and acting as mentors to clients. In 2024, founding partner and corporate, venture capital and IP specialist, Pablo Acevedo, led the advice to Movener, the developer of a hybrid kit for the conversion of traditional diesel trucks into eco-friendly electric vehicles, on the negotiation of a $2m investment by SQM Lithium Ventures. Flanking Acevedo at senior associate level, Ignacio Guerraty also routinely assists with venture capital deals.
