OBN Capital and B Capital Group Unite in São Paulo: A New Powerhouse for Latin American Finance and VC

We're thrilled to share a major strategic development that's strengthening our presence across Latin America: OBN Capital and B Capital Group are coming together at our new integrated office in São Paulo, Brazil. This collaborative hub marks a significant step forward in building a regional capital center for sophisticated financial structuring and a strategic stronghold for venture capital ventures throughout South America.

As CEO and Buyout Manager of OBN Capital and proud partner within the broader B Capital ecosystem I've had the privilege of spearheading this initiative. The new office in São Paulo serves as more than just a physical space; it's designed to be the epicenter for innovative financial solutions in Latin America. By uniting our teams, we're creating seamless synergies that blend OBN Capital's expertise in buyouts, private equity, real estate, and structured investments with B Capital Group's world-class venture capital capabilities particularly in high-growth technology, digital innovation, and scalable startups.

This partnership leverages deep regional insights from our São Paulo base to better assist B Capital Group in identifying and executing compelling VC opportunities across South America. From early-stage tech disruptors in fintech, healthtech, and e-commerce to growth-stage companies poised for regional dominance, the combined platform allows us to offer unparalleled support: from deal sourcing and due diligence to structuring, capital deployment, and post-investment value creation.

São Paulo's position as Brazil's and indeed Latin America's financial and innovation capital makes it the ideal location. With access to top talent, proximity to emerging markets, and a vibrant ecosystem of entrepreneurs and investors, this hub positions us to capture the immense potential in the region while delivering strong, risk-adjusted returns for our partners and portfolio companies.

This move aligns perfectly with OBN Capital's ongoing expansion trajectory—building on milestones like surpassing $1.4 billion in assets under management and reinforces our commitment to transformative opportunities in Latin America. Together with B Capital Group, we're not just expanding; we're redefining how global capital meets local innovation in South America.

Excited for what's ahead let's drive the next wave of growth from right here in São Paulo!
