Venturance Alternative Assets is led by three executive partners and supported by a team of managers, analysts, associates and back-office personnel. The firm was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Santiago, Chile. Since its inception, Venturance Alternative Assets has been working with investors and entrepreneurs to facilitate value creation for its portfolio companies and the country. Venturance is a specialised investment manager focused on alternative assets, including private equity and debt, venture capital, real estate, agriculture and mining. The firm has established several private equity funds to direct investments to growth-stage companies in niche industries that have demonstrated a noteworthy evolution of products and services. Venturance takes a direct approach to alternative investments by negotiating directly with clients rather than involving the banks or other external entities. It brings together dedicated professionals with experience in the direct management of real assets across different industries. To date, the firm has invested in eight companies across nearly as many industries, including retail, food and technology. The team benefits from a horizontal hierarchy that promotes collaboration among professionals with diverse backgrounds across industries and asset classes. Venturance actively engages with portfolio companies through medium- and long-term initiatives to deliver operational, commercial, financial and strategic improvements. The firm continues to uncover fresh investment opportunities in Chile and hopes to expand its footprint across Latin America in the future. The CFI.co judging panel presents Venturance Alternative Assets with the 2022 award for Best Growth Equity Investment Strategy (Chile).
