Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to increase knowledge regarding Chilean venture capital funding, emphasising on technology investment. Qualitative research methodology, exploratory-descriptive was used. The results show characteristics of Chilean venture capital funds, highlighting that the number of funds and capital raised was low, which could be the explanation for the few investments carried out by venture capital funds. Chile has a venture capital market averse to risk, the results of the present study indicate that the investments are not achieving CORFO's objectives for innovation and technology investment. The possibility of incorporating more attractive incentives for investment in the technology sectors, such as tax reduction to venture capital funds, must be evaluated.
