About
Lara Lemann co-founded MAYA Capital after working in Brazilian public policy and angel investing, designing the fund by asking successful Latin American founders how their journeys would have been different with earlier institutional support. She implemented a standardized written Q&A process to reduce gender bias in pitch evaluations and built MAYA as a pan-Latin America first-check specialist that leads initial institutional rounds across multiple countries while providing hands-on hiring and go-to-market support.
