Ventura Family Office

What Ventura Family Office does

Ventura Family Office is a privately held family investment office based in Bogotá, Colombia, established in 2015 to consolidate and expand the investment activities of a family whose entrepreneurial roots trace back approximately 50 years. It operates as a multi-stage, multi-asset-class investment vehicle deploying capital across private equity, real estate, capital markets, and early-stage digital ventures (pre-seed, seed, and angel rounds), with a recently added focus on Web 3.0 and crypto-native companies. The office manages a portfolio of 30+ companies across 14 countries spanning the USA to Chile, anchored by long-standing operating subsidiaries including Listos (contract staffing) and Visión y Marketing/Grupo OHLA (the largest BTL marketing agency in Colombia, employing over 15,000 people and serving 250+ companies).

The business model is fundamentally a 'smart money' family-office approach: Ventura invests capital alongside hands-on strategic, operational, and administrative support, providing portfolio founders access to a regional network of contacts, firsthand market expertise across Latin America, and back-office financial and accounting services. It does not charge disclosed management fees or publish pricing — investment terms are negotiated bilaterally with founders. Go-to-market is primarily direct relationship-driven, supported by LinkedIn, a corporate website, and a podcast for thought leadership. There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's differentiation rests on its 50-year operating track record, the geographic footprint of its operating subsidiaries, and the cross-portfolio relationships among its 30+ founder-investees.

The firm serves founders and entrepreneurs building digital companies with high growth potential and traditional-industry operators undergoing digital transformation. It targets businesses with replicable, globally scalable models led by teams with strong values and clear problem definitions. While Ventura's own employee count is small (1–10), the broader ecosystem across portfolio companies and operating subsidiaries touches 15,000+ employees and 250+ corporate clients, providing substantive local-market infrastructure that portfolio founders can leverage for market entry, hiring, and operational scaling.
