Santomera is to invest in or acquire private businesses with the objective of generating investment returns through dividends and/or capital appreciation. The latter generally occurs due to revenue growth, improving margins, and from increasing valuation multiples typically associated with higher levels of earnings, often known as multiple expansion. Our approach to this asset class involves growing and improving a middle-market company and selling it to a large corporation.

We are looking to invest in unique ideas and great entrepreneurs. From a venture pitch deck to a more mature and consolidated start up, venture capital is the new engine of the economy. Our approach to this kind of investment it does not always take a monetary form; it can also be provided in the form of technical or managerial expertise. Technology is changing the way we live, but we still need the old habits and life culture to prevail; this balance translates to our portfolio. We are specially interested in Leisure and Lifestyle business opportunities.

We seek early stage talent, coming from all parts of the globe. We believe a good mix is acquiring the young and the gone, from consolidated twenty-century modern art surrealists like Joan Miró to richly textured vividly colored Nouveau réalisme pieces of Yves Klein. We support artists such as Laura Owens, Tala Madani, Bosco Sodi, Stefan Brüggemann, Yago Hortal, Bjarne Melgaard and Gerasimos Floratos among other young talented artists.
