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.
