What SDK does

SDK Sudamerik is a privately held Chilean fund administrator (legal entity Sudamerik S.A.) based in Las Condes, Santiago, that manages private-capital impact investment funds with public leverage. Founded in 2015 and operating with a partner-led team of roughly 15 professionals, the firm deploys capital into Latin American companies that combine technological, social, environmental, and economic value-add, with impact measured through B Corp certification standards. Its product surface consists of four thematic investment vehicles: Fondo Impact Investment (the flagship multi-sector impact fund with disclosed portfolio including Austral Hemp, Latam Payment, Cognitiva, Ecoterra, Sustenta, Denda, and LPG), Fondo Turismo Sustentable (Chilean sustainable tourism, with Nativa, GoFeels, and Outscape), Minería Sustentable (sustainable mining), and Fondo Impulsa Mujer (women-led startups and gender equity in venture capital).

The business model centers on management fees earned on private investment funds; the funds themselves are explicitly not regulated or supervised by Chile's CMF, making them private placements accessible via direct engagement through the 'Hablemos' contact channel. Strategic moats are drawn from a formal co-investment partnership with CORFO, an institutional affiliation with B Lab, and a curated ecosystem of venture partners and industry alliances (GSG, ACVC, Mujeres Empresarias, We Invest). Go-to-market is relationship-driven: deal sourcing flows through venture partners and direct outreach rather than a sales motion, and there is no proprietary technology stack, public API, or software product — the firm's competency is investment management and impact measurement, not technology development.
