We build it.

The Studio

A different kind
of company builder.

The Lucky Founders is a venture studio based in Chile. We build, fund, and operate technology companies from zero — with deep involvement in product, tech, and go-to-market.

  • We build companies we'd use ourselves, in markets we know deeply.
  • We stay operational. Founders run their companies — we run alongside them.
  • Luck is the residue of relentless repetition. We repeat until it compounds.
