Pre-Seed Funded Startups in Chile
Pre-seed rounds in this Chile snapshot are mostly clustered in the $300K–$540K range when amounts are disclosed.
Pre-seed rounds in this Chile snapshot are mostly clustered in the $300K–$540K range when amounts are disclosed. The largest disclosed round is Ainwater’s $540K (2024-08-28), which sits above the next-highest disclosed amounts of $500K (Ruuf, 2023-04-05) and $450K (Wibo, 2023-02-10), while many other disclosed rounds are $300K (Magnar 2025-10-18; licitaLAB 2023-10-19; GoFeels 2023-06-24). A second pattern is geographic concentration: 12 of the 15 entries are based in Santiago, Region Metropolitana (e.g., Pawer 2025-11-21; Magnar 2025-10-18), with the remaining cities appearing once each (Osorno, Temuco, Antofagasta, Vitacura). The disclosed amounts also show a communication gap: 6 of 15 rounds are “undisclosed” (WEELOCK 2025-08-17; AIRE gpt 2025-05-07; StrikeOne 2024-06-12; Sticta Biologicals 2023-04-12; Hügga 2022-11-10; Sugarblock 2022-07-29). Temporally, the rows span 2022-07-29 through 2025-11-21, with the most recent entry being Pawer’s $150K round (2025-11-21).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed pre-seed round is the largest in this Chile list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Ainwater’s $540K pre-seed (2024-08-28) is the largest disclosed amount here. It is above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $500K (Ruuf, 2023-04-05) and $450K (Wibo, 2023-02-10), while several other disclosed rounds land at $370K (VentiPay, 2022-11-06) and $300K (Magnar, 2025-10-18; licitaLAB, 2023-10-19; GoFeels, 2023-06-24).
Is Santiago over-represented compared with other Chile cities in these 15 entries?
Yes. Santiago, Region Metropolitana accounts for 12 of 15 entries, including Pawer (2025-11-21), Magnar (2025-10-18), Ruuf (2023-04-05), and VentiPay (2022-11-06). The remaining locations are singletons: Osorno (Ainwater, 2024-08-28), Temuco (GoFeels, 2023-06-24), Antofagasta (Pignus, 2022-11-14), and Vitacura (Sugarblock, undisclosed amount category).
How frequently are amounts undisclosed, and does that hide potential outliers?
6 of 15 rounds are “undisclosed” (WEELOCK on 2025-08-17; AIRE gpt on 2025-05-07; StrikeOne on 2024-06-12; Sticta Biologicals on 2023-04-12; Hügga on 2022-11-10; Sugarblock on 2022-07-29). Because the largest disclosed amount is $540K (Ainwater, 2024-08-28), these undisclosed entries could include additional higher-ticket rounds, but the table does not confirm them.
Do AI-linked companies cluster in the same period or mostly spread across the years shown?
AI appears repeatedly across multiple years rather than only one window: WEELOCK (undisclosed, 2025-08-17) and AIRE gpt (undisclosed, 2025-05-07) are in 2025, licitaLAB is in 2023-10-19 ($300K), and Pignus is in 2022-11-14 ($130K). That spread suggests AI is a recurring theme from 2022-11 through 2025-10 rather than a short-lived spike.
Which recent entries fall in the tightest end of the timeline shown (roughly the latest 12 months by round date)?
From 2024-08-28 onward in the table, the most recent 12-month block includes Ainwater (2024-08-28, $540K), WEELOCK (2025-08-17, undisclosed), AIRE gpt (2025-05-07, undisclosed), Magnar (2025-10-18, $300K), and Pawer (2025-11-21, $150K). This portion includes both disclosed mid-range rounds ($300K) and undisclosed entries, with no disclosed amount larger than $540K.
