Skypointer Capital, whose GP is Proaltus Asset Management USA, a subsidiary of Proaltus Group, has closed its first venture capital fund, Skypointer Ventures Fund I, with $30m in capital commitments to invest in the global technology sector.
The fund is geared specifically towards Family Offices and aims to offer investors access to the VC sector with an emphasis on a more diversified strategy.
It will look to invest in funds focusing on early-stage start-ups as well making direct investments in companies that have already reached mature phases (series C onwards) across multiple geographies, including the United States, Europe, and Latin America, development stages (from pre-seed to growth) and industry verticals.
Featured companies in the fund’s current portfolio include: Scale AI, an artificial intelligence company that recently raised a series F led by Accel along with Nvidia and Amazon; Refurbed, the leading European marketplace for refurbished electronics; and Kushki, a digital payments company in Latin America.
The Skypointer team is helmed by three partners with extensive experience in Venture Capital asset management and entrepreneurship. Pablo Ortega, head of Alternatives at Proaltus and former investment banker; Daniel Sakovics, an investor at several international technology investment funds such as Banco Sabadell and Target Global; and Manuel Serna, entrepreneur and former investor and entrepreneur.
