MiLA Capital

MiLA Capital is a high-touch venture fund based in Los Angeles, CA. The fund was created to advance next-generation hardware startups. The team is particularly excited by sectors such as food tech, ag tech, healthcare, biotech, new materials, mobility, aerospace, industry 4.0, advanced manufacturing, cleantech, and innovation across Latin America. MiLA leadership believes that emerging hardware founders are too often overlooked, and by helping them get to market in the most resource efficient way possible, MiLA earns the right to win at this significant inflection point (pre-Series A). Since 2015, MiLA has invested in 18 total startups from across the globe that have gone on to raise over $120 million in follow-on funding. MiLA also operates the Make in LA 4-month program to discover, nurture, and invest in promising hardware companies at the formation stage, as well as the Toolbox LA innovation lab to draw in the hard tech community across Southern California. The MiLA team recognizes that investing in diverse companies can move the needle in a meaningful way; as a result, 47% of the companies in their portfolio are female-founded and 61% have an immigrant founder.
