LIV Capital operates as a Mexico City-based private equity fund manager, strategically investing in high-growth enterprises across Mexico and the broader Latin American market. The firm focuses on middle-market businesses within expanding sectors, employing a hands-on approach to secure control or influential minority stakes. This strategy involves partnering with experienced management teams and leveraging their extensive network to foster robust operational growth and value creation.
The firm's genesis traces back to 2000 when Humberto Zesati founded Latin Idea Ventures, subsequently rebranded as LIV Capital, with Alex Rossi as a co-founder. They brought substantial private equity and investment banking expertise from both U.S. and Latin American markets. Miguel Ángel Dávila, a recognized entrepreneur with a successful track record in developing large-scale businesses, joined as a partner in late 2009, further strengthening the leadership team's diverse pedigree and operational insight.
LIV Capital serves high-growth Mexican companies led by entrepreneurial management, viewing itself as a catalyst for the Mexican economy. Their investment philosophy emphasizes a "people first" and "growth mindset" approach, actively engaging with portfolio companies to deliver maximum value. The firm’s vision combines local market expertise with an international outlook, aiming to capitalize on compelling opportunities and drive significant development within the region.
