SouthTorch
Take over
Latin
America.
so Latin America can take all of your company too.
SouthTorch only works with a handful of clients at a time, and we don't disappear once you're set up. We build your office here, then stay close, watching over how it runs so you don't have to. Some clients keep us close for years. Others prefer to take the reins themselves once they're running.
Matías Vignau Lehmann
Matías moved to Germany at 21. Within a year he'd mastered the language well enough to study at the Berlin Institute of Technology, then spent three years in Berlin's tech industry, including at climate tech unicorn 1KOMMA5° and Amperecloud. SouthTorch was born out of Amperecloud's need to expand into South America. Amperecloud became Matías's first client.

LinkedIn ↗Market entry strategy
A real plan to arrive, not a guess. We map the opportunity and open doors to the players who matter before you land.
Talent & culture
How to hire, who to trust, how to negotiate. We translate Latin America so you're not learning it the hard way.
Partnerships & business development
Direct lines to the partners, clients, and talent that turn a market entry into a market takeover.
Ongoing advisory
We stay in the room as you scale, from Santiago and across the region.
Based in Santiago, working across the region.
We build your base camp in Latin America, then help you take the market. From day one we connect you to the people, the culture, and the playbook you need. How to hire. Who to trust. How to negotiate. In a region most outsiders get wrong.
