We are building an online store for tours and activities. We are based and focused in Guatemala, our goal is to validate the business model & expand towards countries with similar characteristics. We have structured all the business aspects and managed to make key alliances with public and private institutions. We are raising seed capital, but would like to have a US tech investor. What would be the best way to find one ¿?

Go on Crunchbase and find companies like you, that have raised money from US investors, even if they’re located in other parts of the world. Reach out to the entrepreneurs of those companies to ask them this question. If they like you, they’ll typically make an introduction to their investor. Most investors like to invest in companies they can meetup with frequently enough – hence investing in or around their own city.
