Building Companies. Backing Founders. Guiding Growth.

The StartupVC is Craig Dempsey's family office and company builder. We create and scale new ventures, invest in high-growth companies, and share what we've learned from more than a decade of building businesses across Latin America.

"A platform designed to build, back, and guide scalable ventures while managing capital for long-term growth."

Words from our
Founder & CEO

At The StartupVC, we build companies.

This platform is where I originate, operate, and scale ventures across Latin America. I also deploy my own capital into founder-led companies that can benefit from our operational playbooks, our regional networks, and the compliance and execution expertise we've developed over more than a decade in these markets.

Our mission remains what it has always been: to transform exceptional talent into sustainable enterprises that create value across generations. We identify strong founders, provide them with structure and resources, and help them build organizations that last.

That commitment to long-term value creation defines everything we do here.

Building Companies. Preserving Legacy.

- Craig Dempsey, StartupVC Founder & CEO

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.
