Eric Acher

Eric has long believed in the transformative potential of entrepreneurship, technology, and venture capital to shape a better future for Latin America.

In 2005, he created Monashees together with co-founder Fabio Igel, launching the region’s first venture capital firm built on the best practices of Silicon Valley. At Monashees, Eric leads the firm’s investment strategy and overall management, with a focus on emerging technologies, AI, consumer innovation, and the creator economy.

Over the years, he has partnered closely with companies such as Elo7 (acquired by Etsy), Enjoei (IPO), Jusbrasil, MadeiraMadeira, Music.AI, Neoway (acquired by B3), Nomad, PetLove, and VivaReal/Grupo Zap (acquired by OLX), among others.

Before founding Monashees, Eric worked in venture capital at General Atlantic and in strategic consulting at McKinsey & Company.
