VamosVentures

Early-stage venture firm founded by Marcos Gonzalez, backing diverse entrepreneurs and technology companies across health and wellness, financial technology, sustainability and the future of work. Its portfolio includes artificial intelligence, AI-enabled biological discovery, behavioral science, responsible AI governance, nuclear energy and long-duration energy storage. The firm’s published directory identifies seven core investment and operating leaders, six 2026 part-time associates, and separately dated historical associate, scout and operating-partner cohorts. Its first fund closed at USD50 million in May 2021. The latest April 2026 SEC amendment for VamosVentures Fund II LP reports USD61.95 million sold in an ongoing USD100 million offering; that filing is not a final fund close. Founding year remains unspecified because primary accounts differ between 2016 and 2018. VamosVentures is distinct from unrelated funds with similar names.
