Our firm:
Colca Capital is a private investment firm managing long term capital.
The firm was founded in 2019 by Julio Ramirez, Diego Febrero, and Nicolas Lulli, to invest the equity capital of successful entrepreneurs, high net worth families, and global institutions.
Colca Capital seeks to acquire category-leading businesses with significant untapped growth potential, providing a viable succession path to the entrepreneur considering retiring or otherwise transitioning out of the company. We work directly with business owners to incorporate their preferences for privacy, timing, and transaction structure. Our strategic investment into the business allows the business owner to build upon his own legacy to take the company to the next level.
Our firm differentiates itself by employing an extremely hands-on methodology – post-acquisition, we involve ourselves in every aspect of the business and actively manage the company as CEO(s). Our patient capital facilitates the execution of a value creation plan centered around precise, timely investments, never unduly compelled by fund cycles or macroeconomic events.
Approach:
We seek to acquire majority stakes in high-growth companies in Latin America. The Colca Capital team performs a detailed fundamental analysis of each potential business, focused on identifying true market leaders and best-in-class companies. Following our strategic investment into the business, we dedicate ourselves exclusively to accelerating growth, maximizing performance, and generating enduring value for all stakeholders.
Team:
Colca Capital is led by three managing partners, Diego Febrero, Julio Ramirez, and Nicolas Lulli, supported by a team of principals, associates, analysts, and interns. We have offices in the Prudential Center in Boston, MA and the Miraflores neighborhood of Lima, Peru. The firm leverages a broad network of dozens of industry experts and local entrepreneurs to support its portfolio companies and CEOs in the execution of the value creation plan.
