contents The growth of the tech startup ecosystem in Latin America (LATAM) is driven by innovative entrepreneurs addressing market needs across various sectors. However, these startups encounter unique challenges and risks that require specific management approaches. This paper explores a case study with the Total Addressable Market (TAM), Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) metrics within the context of the online food delivery industry in LATAM, serving as a model for valuing startups using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. By analyzing key emerging powers such as Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador, the study highlights the potential and profitability of AI-driven startups in the region through the development of a ranking of emerging powers in Latin America for tech startup investment. The paper also examines the political, economic, and competitive risks faced by startups and offers strategic insights on mitigating these risks to maximize investment returns. Furthermore, the research underscores the value of diversifying investment portfolios with startups in emerging markets, emphasizing the opportunities for substantial growth and returns despite inherent risks.
