Final Call for Nominations: 2023 LAVCA ESG Deal Awards
In an effort to showcase best-in-class examples of private capital activity in Latin America, LAVCA is again collaborating with Member investors to highlight portfolio company deal cases for our audience of global institutional and fund investors, as well as strategic and long-term investors active or interested in Latin America.
LAVCA invites Member GPs to nominate a portfolio company deal for the 2023 LAVCA ESG Deal Awards. Portfolio company deals can be across any asset class, including private equity, VC/tech, private credit and real assets. Associate Members can also nominate firms and deals.
Submissions will be judged by a panel of LPs. Select deals will also be considered for publication in a monthly series of case studies.
The deadline to submit a portfolio company is January 20, 2023. To nominate a deal, or for more information, please contact Marcelo Pizzato at mpizzato@lavca.org.
