Transforming Mexican Start-ups: Boosting Wine, Coffee and Founders with Global Expertise

AmixTechLab.com, the trailblazing platform for accelerating startups, CEOs, and companies, renowned for its transformative impact in Chile, London, Texas and Miami, is now expanding its horizons to Mexico. Specialising in business development services, customer acquisition and strategic partnerships, Amix Tech Lab aims to support Mexican entrepreneurs in finding the right market fit and boosting sales through effective bootstrapping techniques.

A Legacy of Success: Founder Max Morales

Founded by Agronomist Max Morales, Amix Tech Lab has been a pivotal player in the start-up ecosystem across Texas, Chile, Peru, Argentina and Guatemala. Morales has also been instrumental in social innovation initiatives within the forestry and mining sectors, collaborating with major companies like Arauco and SQM. One of his early successes was with Oskar Hjertonsson, co-founder of Clandescuento, who engaged Morales to expand operations in southern Chile. Following a successful stint, Clandescuento was acquired by Groupon, and Hjertonsson co-founded Cornershop which was later acquired by Uber Eats.

Morales’ influence extends to other prominent entrepreneurs including Giovanni Marisio, Sandra Jerez of Capital Inteligente and Francisco Kemeny, a Mexican-based AI strategy expert.

Amix Tech Lab in Mexico: Fostering Entrepreneurship

Amix Tech Lab’s primary objective in Mexico is to empower local entrepreneurs through comprehensive coaching and business development services. These offerings are designed to help founders effectively package their ideas, identify market fit and navigate the start-up ecosystem, including strategic partner and customer acquisition.

Focusing on Mexico’s most dynamic entrepreneurial hubs — Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta and Cancún — Morales has cultivated a robust network within the Mexican ecosystem, which he explored as a digital nomad in 2022. This network will be instrumental in propelling Mexican start-ups going forward.

Innovation and Investment in the Agricultural and Wine Sectors

Morales also brings extensive expertise in agriculture and viticulture. Amix Tech Lab plans to export its distinctive methodology for reviving ancient vineyards and developing independent brands in key Mexican wine regions such as Parras, Coahuila, Valle de Guadalupe, Aguascalientes and San Miguel de Allende. This initiative presents an unparalleled opportunity for Mexican wineries to innovate and gain global recognition.

Additionally, Amix Tech Lab will offer exclusive services for Mexican family offices interested in the local wine industry, from acquiring vineyards to investing in ongoing projects, fundraising for rare varieties and bespoke consultancy on wine brand creation. With Morales’ expert guidance, these ventures promise lucrative returns and a chance to explore a burgeoning market.

WineTech Investment Fund Connecting Mexico and Chile

Recently, Morales concluded the ‘Wine Innova Tech 2024’ International Seminar at the Palacio Rioja in Viña del Mar. Supported by the Valparaíso Regional Productive Development Committee through the Viraliza CORFO program, this initiative is spearheading the WineTech Investment Fund, as highlighted by Harpers Wine & Spirits Magazine: Chile launches first WineTech Fund to boost Valparaíso region.

Tequila and Mezcal: Enhancing Mexican Traditions

Amix Tech Lab’s expansion will also explore the tequila and mezcal industries. Iconic tequila locales in Jalisco — Tequila, Atotonilco and Los Altos — and emerging mezcal producers in Michoacán, Guanajuato and Oaxaca provide fertile ground for innovation and development. Under the commercial guidance of Francesca Bridgewater FCIM from Andes Wines in London, Amix Tech Lab will help these spirits brands penetrate new markets in Europe and Latin America, organising events and launches alongside strategic branding and market expansion services.

The Mexican Coffee Boom

Recognising the booming coffee market in Mexico, Amix Tech Lab will also support the professionalisation of producers and roasters together with the proliferation of specialty coffee shops, particularly in Mexico City and Guadalajara. Being a seasoned coffee brand strategist with extensive experience in Chile, Morales will spearhead coffee tasting events and showcases, fostering ideas exchange and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Amix Tech Lab’s arrival in Mexico heralds a new era of entrepreneurial innovation. By driving business growth, advancing agricultural innovation, and empowering traditional industries, Amix Tech Lab is set to reshape the future of Mexico’s start-up landscape.
