Una startup chilena de inteligencia artificial acaba de dar el salto que sue\u00f1an miles de emprendedores tecnol\u00f3gicos en Am\u00e9rica Latina: ser comprada por una empresa estadounidense. Se trata de Lilo, fundada en 2023 por los emprendedores Javier Araya y Nadine ElAshkar, adquirida por Inn-Flow, una compa\u00f1\u00eda de Estados Unidos especializada en soluciones financieras y operativas para la industria hotelera.<\/p>\n

La operaci\u00f3n convierte a Lilo en uno de los casos m\u00e1s recientes de tecnolog\u00eda latinoamericana que logra escalar lo suficiente como para ser integrada por un jugador estadounidense consolidado, en un momento en el que ese tipo de adquisiciones se multiplica en toda la regi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Una tendencia que crece con fuerza en la regi\u00f3n<\/h2>\n

El caso de Lilo no est\u00e1 solo. Durante 2025, las adquisiciones de startups latinoamericanas por parte de compa\u00f1\u00edas extranjeras crecieron 172 % respecto al a\u00f1o anterior, alcanzando un valor conjunto de 4.900 millones de d\u00f3lares, seg\u00fan datos del Latin America Venture Capital Report elaborado por Cu\u00e1ntico VP.<\/p>\n

Ese mismo informe se\u00f1ala que las fusiones y adquisiciones concentraron el 67 % de todas las salidas registradas por startups en Am\u00e9rica Latina, lo que confirma que vender la tecnolog\u00eda a una empresa internacional se consolid\u00f3 como la ruta de \u00e9xito m\u00e1s com\u00fan para los fundadores latinoamericanos, por encima de otras alternativas como las salidas a bolsa.<\/p>\n

Por qu\u00e9 las empresas extranjeras miran a Latinoam\u00e9rica<\/h2>\n

El apetito de compradores internacionales por tecnolog\u00eda latinoamericana no es casualidad. La regi\u00f3n combina talento t\u00e9cnico competitivo en costos, soluciones adaptadas a problemas locales que luego resultan exportables, y un ecosistema de capital de riesgo cada vez m\u00e1s maduro que ha ido puliendo startups listas para escalar.<\/p>\n

Casos como el de Instaleap, la startup colombiana adquirida por la estadounidense Instacart para entrar al mercado latinoamericano, o el de Maza, se suman a Lilo dentro de una lista creciente de operaciones que colocan a la regi\u00f3n en el radar de compradores internacionales que antes miraban casi exclusivamente hacia Asia o Europa.<\/p>\n

Qu\u00e9 significa este tipo de operaciones para los fundadores<\/h2>\n

Para los emprendedores latinoamericanos, ser adquiridos por una empresa extranjera representa no solo una salida financiera, sino tambi\u00e9n una validaci\u00f3n de que su tecnolog\u00eda puede competir a nivel internacional. En el caso de Lilo, la compa\u00f1\u00eda chilena pasa ahora a integrarse dentro de las soluciones que Inn-Flow ofrece a la industria hotelera estadounidense, ampliando el alcance de una tecnolog\u00eda que naci\u00f3 pensando en necesidades mucho m\u00e1s locales.<\/p>\n

Ese patr\u00f3n, el de tecnolog\u00eda desarrollada para resolver un problema regional que termina siendo atractiva para mercados m\u00e1s grandes, se repite cada vez con m\u00e1s frecuencia entre las startups que logran destacar en el ecosistema latinoamericano.<\/p>\n

Lo que viene para el ecosistema regional<\/h2>\n

Con el apetito extranjero por tecnolog\u00eda latinoamericana en m\u00e1ximos hist\u00f3ricos, los analistas del sector esperan que 2026 contin\u00fae la tendencia de adquisiciones como principal v\u00eda de crecimiento para las startups de la regi\u00f3n, especialmente en sectores como inteligencia artificial, fintech y soluciones para industrias espec\u00edficas como la hotelera o la log\u00edstica. Para fundadores como los de Lilo, el mensaje es claro: la tecnolog\u00eda latinoamericana ya compite de igual a igual en el tablero internacional.
