Vianovo Ventures

 
Through our Vianovo Ventures arm, we partner with startups and high-growth companies in return for stock options, sales commissions, success fees, licensing agreements, and other entrepreneurial arrangements.  We also have the ability to make direct equity investments on a select basis.
 
Vianovo Ventures has a special focus on:

  1. U.S partners seeking to develop new customers, projects and capital sources in Latin America - and vice versa

  2. Media and technology startups and initiatives – especially in the political space

  3. Large infrastructure projects

Former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza serves as chairman of Vianovo Ventures.
