planning, implementing and then scaling service companies
Words from our
Founder & CEO
At The Startup VC, we don’t just invest in companies - we build them!
As a family office and company builder, our mission is to transform raw human talent into sustainable enterprises that create long-term value across multiple generations. We focus on ventures that can scale globally, operate efficiently, and preserve both financial and human legacy.
Our approach combines disciplined capital management with hands-on company creation. We identify exceptional individuals, provide them with structure, resources, and mentorship, and help them turn their ideas into enduring, profitable organizations. This balance of entrepreneurship and stewardship defines who we are, investors who think like builders, and builders who act with the foresight of legacy investors.
Through The Startup VC, we continue to build scalable ventures while managing capital for long-term growth and impact, always guided by one philosophy:

How we build companies?
We are The Leading Company Builder and Recognized by
The StartupVC Business Philosophy
We believe that sustainable growth is built at the intersection of purpose, people, and performance. The Startup VC operates as a family office with a builder's mindset — balancing entrepreneurial ambition with long-term stewardship.
Our philosophy is grounded in three pillars:
Creation Over Speculation
We build ventures from the ground up, shaping companies that deliver real economic value rather than chasing short-term returns.
Partnership Over Ownership
We back strong operators and empower them with structure, governance, and capital to achieve scalable, lasting impact.
Legacy Over Liquidity
We think generationally, investing time and resources into ventures that outlive cycles, founders, and trends.
Every decision we make reflects our belief that true wealth is not only measured in financial returns, but in the legacy of the companies and people we build along the way.
The StartupVC is committed and well positioned to being the best, largest and most successful company builder in the region for service companies
