Eric Acher

Co-Founder and Managing General Partner, Monashees

About

Eric Acher co-founded Monashees in 2005 during Brazil's tech winter when essentially no local early-stage VC industry existed, helping build both the firm and the broader Latin American VC ecosystem from scratch over 15 years. He brings an unusual combination of McKinsey strategy consulting and General Atlantic growth equity experience to early-stage investing, and systematically compares Latin America with Southeast Asia to encourage cross-regional pattern matching and learning between emerging markets.
