VC Manager creates product tailor-made for Family Offices focused on diversified strategy

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 8, 2024 / Skypointer Capital, operated by a dedicated management team with decades of experience across the investment and operational lifecycle, is announcing the closing of its first Venture Capital fund, reaching a total of USD $30 million to invest in the global technology sector. Skypointer has created a unique product specifically geared towards Family Offices that grants access to the world of Venture Capital (VC) with an emphasis on a more diversified strategy.

Through a combination of investments in funds focusing on early-stage startups and direct investments in companies that have already reached mature phases (series C onwards), investors are invited to diversify their VC portfolio through a single ticket covering multiple geographies (United States, Europe, and Latin America), development stages (from pre-seed to growth) and industry verticals. Featured companies in Skypointer fund's current portfolio include industry leaders such as Scale AI, the artificial intelligence company that recently raised a series F led by Accel along with Nvidia and Amazon; Refurbed, the leading European marketplace for refurbished electronics; and Kushki, a digital payments company in Latin America. These investments exemplify the fund's focus on identifying and supporting companies with high growth and transformative potential in their respective sectors.

"VC has been one of the best-performing assets in the last decade. However, many Family Offices have been harmed by not approaching the space in the right way, through lack of access or insufficient diversification," said Daniel Sakovics, Partner at Skypointer. "Through Skypointer, many of these investors can now build a risk-adjusted portfolio, but with a greater return potential than a traditional Fund of Funds strategy, and with the added bonus of access to direct investment opportunities."

"Large, sophisticated investment institutions such as endowments and sovereign wealth funds have long combined a hybrid funds-direct approach in venture. We saw the opportunity to create a product that offers a tried and tested strategy to a different segment of the market, who otherwise may not have this level of access", added Pablo Ortega, Partner at Skypointer.

The Skypointer team is helmed by three partners with extensive experience in Venture Capital asset management and entrepreneurship. Pablo Ortega, head of Alternatives at Proaltus and former investment banker, Daniel Sakovics, an investor at several international technology investment funds such as Banco Sabadell and Target Global; and Manuel Serna, entrepreneur and former investor and entrepreneur. The team has previously invested using similar strategies through several institutions and saw a gap in the market to combine their experience and launch Skypointer.
