OUR VISION

OUR STORY

Strong values and family of entrepreneurs

Martin and Jorge have known each other for more than 17 years and both grew up in families with similar, strong values and a history of successful entrepreneurs.

We have witnessed our grandfathers and fathers endure the trials of starting their companies from scratch. We understand the ‘sweat and tears’ it takes to run a small business and, as proud grandsons and sons, it gives us a profound appreciation for legacy.

Given our families’ shared story, we knew the entrepreneurship question was not a matter of ‘if’, but a matter of ‘when’ – and this is why we have orchestrated this great partnership focused on entrepreneurship as the 'natural' next step in our careers.

If you are a business owner and have been thinking about your company's next generation of leadership, we want to learn about your story. We may be surprised to uncover the potential to partner to protect your company’s legacy and drive it into its the next stage of growth.
