Adriana Cisneros
CEO of the Cisneros Group, the Venezuelan-founded media and investment conglomerate, backing technology and media startups across Latin America and the US Hispanic market.
Track record
Cisneros Group
Leads the Cisneros Group, a decades-old, Venezuelan-founded conglomerate spanning media, entertainment and investment — giving her a base of institutional capital and cross-border business relationships distinct from most founder-turned-angel profiles on this list.
Cisneros Interactive
Through Cisneros Interactive and related vehicles, has backed technology and media startups across Latin America and the US Hispanic market, extending the conglomerate’s traditional media roots into digital and startup investing.
A different entry point than most angels
Unlike most names on this list, Cisneros did not build her own startup and exit it — her investing activity is rooted in leading an established family conglomerate into new sectors, giving her a longer time horizon and different risk tolerance than a typical individual angel.
How she invests
Cisneros’s investment activity is channeled largely through Cisneros Group entities rather than as purely personal angel checks, reflecting her role leading an institutional conglomerate rather than operating as an independent individual investor.
This structure means her specific deal-level activity is documented more through the conglomerate’s public statements and coverage than through the kind of personal disclosure typical of founder-angels — treat specific portfolio claims accordingly and verify independently.
