Benjamin Quiroga co-founded Humboldt Fund as the business-trained partner alongside two deeply technical co-GPs, creating an unusual early-stage synthetic biology fund where founders can work with GPs who understand both lab-bench science and commercial strategy. Based in Chile while investing globally from pre-seed through Series A, he brings Latin American roots and international exposure to a field typically dominated by exclusively US- or EU-based investors.

Notable Investments
Humboldt Fund focuses exclusively on synthetic biology as a general-purpose technology to remake chemicals, materials, foods, and medicines, led by a UCSF-trained PhD cell biologist who brings deep research background directly into fund leadership. The fund backs "bio revolution" companies that replace conventional industrial inputs with biology-based alternatives through a concentrated portfolio of category-defining names like Geltor, NotCo, Meatable, and MycoWorks, while investing globally across Latin America and Europe rather than maintaining a US-centric focus.
