Samara Mejia

She set the goal of breaking new ground in the world of venture capital in the United States and she is achieving it. Through Chingona Ventures, she seeks to multiply wealth by investing in projects and industries that are not fully understood by traditional investors. Her bet has convinced others: in May she closed her second fund for US$52 million with the backing of Melinda French and PayPal, among others. Her work has led her to receive recognition from the Chicago Chamber of Commerce.
