My organisation
About me
I’m Denis Pavon, a seasoned professional with a strong track record in sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and impact investment. As Director of Impact Hub Managua and Managing Partner at YES Ventures—a Central America–focused VC fund—I lead initiatives that support inclusive innovation and financial inclusion across the region.
Over the past few years, I led Impact Hub Managua to join the VC Lab Venture Capital Accelerator (2022), selected among 200 elite firms from 1,800 global applications
I spearhead the YES Fund, providing revenue-based financing ($5K–$50K) and technical support to young founders in Nicaragua, Central America, and the Caribbean
I’m passionate about fostering sustainable startups aligned with the UN SDGs, scaling regional ecosystems, and forging collaborations for EU-funded impact programs. I’m eager to connect with peers, partners, and funders seeking to drive transformative change in Latin America.
