I'm excited to share that I'm joining Arqos Capital as a Managing Director, to lead their Private Equity and Venture Capital efforts while replanting my roots in my home country – Venezuela. I genuinely believe we’re facing a generational opportunity to rebuild and invest behind Venezuela's upcoming recovery, and few platforms are as well positioned as Arqos. The firm sits in a unique position for this stage as it has been investing in Venezuela since 2019 – a deeply contrarian decision at the time. Over that period, Arqos has built a highly reputable asset management platform, an exceptional team, and a differentiated position in one of the most overlooked markets in the world which now has transformed into a valuable first mover advantage. Today it finds itself at the right place and at the right time. On a personal level, this opportunity is especially meaningful. After 17 years abroad, I’m excited to reconnect with my home country and contribute, in a small way, to this long-awaited reconstruction phase while also helping build the Arqos platform. Sleepwell Capital will remain active as a side-project focusing on selective high-conviction opportunities and a content platform, always using the same filter: looking at and talking about things that fascinate me and drive my curiosity. This is a major (and unexpected) career transition for me after spending over 10 years as a public markets investor, but I couldn't be more excited.

Will share the journey here and always happy to chat or connect with anyone interested in Venezuela (DMs open). Public markets coverage will continue but to a more limited extent – won’t have time to follow as many companies as I’d like to.

Capital tends to arrive after confidence. The outsized returns usually belong to the people who showed up before it.

i hear you but: 1) capital en masse has not arrived, I can guarantee you that. It will take ~2 years if not more 2) risk reward has massively shifted as downside is more limited vs pre-Jan 3rd and GDP and liquidity prospects much improved. 3) there’s still a lot of uncertainty which has kept multiples low

Does the country have any infrastructure that will allow a company to thrive? (BTW, wishing you in the best in your new adventure!)
