VARIV

VARIV is a strategic investment firm headquartered in Mexico City that combines company building with venture capital across Latin America. Its activities span three operating units: VARIV Builder, the business building and co-building arm that creates and develops companies in the region; VARIV Evergreen, an evergreen investment vehicle focused on developing and scaling business models; and VARIV Capital, the venture capital arm investing in early-stage companies across Latin America.

The firm's structure pairs hands-on company creation with conventional early-stage investing - an arrangement that gives employees exposure to both operating build-outs and portfolio deployment. VARIV names seven portfolio companies and ventures: Bankaya, Cometa VC, Nomipay, Rankmi, Sttega, Volana and Zylus. Sector interests indicated by the firm include financial services, commerce, logistics and technology.

VARIV states that its value creation is oriented toward investors, companies and end-users, and that it tracks emerging global trends as a basis for building businesses. The firm describes its mandate as developing and scaling business models in Latin America, with work extending across building, co-building and investing.
