Founded in 2014, Magma is a seed-stage venture capital fund based in Latin America, the USA, and China.<br /><br />Originally from Wisconsin, USA, Nathan bought a startup while he was studying to major in Political Science. He purchased ExchangeHut, which was a local tickets and textbooks trading site, and transformed it into a national business with over 125,000 users. In 2008, he co-founded Entrustet, a company that allows people to get their digital assets transferred or deleted when they die. He sold both after they gained great success.<br /><br />Nathan then moved to Chile and participated in the Startup Chile pilot program. In 2012, he began teaching a class at a Chilean university titled “How To Build a Startup”. This was when he started giving students advice and support on how to create their own businesses. <br /><br />The path led him down to creating Magma Partners in 2014, and to this date, the VC firm has invested in over 110 startups from Latin America. Since 2014, the startup ecosystem in Latin America changed dramatically, and Nathan witnessed all of it. <br
