We're not looking for ideas.
We're looking for companies to build with.
M1 Venture Studio puts capital, financial structuring, corporate governance and execution inside Colombian companies with real traction. We're not a passive fund: we come in to work.
What we invest in
Four filters, stated plainly.
Companies that already sell
We prefer imperfect revenue over perfect projections. One paying customer beats twenty letters of intent.
Sectors we know
Construction, agribusiness and coffee, energy and water, public sector, services and digital infrastructure. Where our network opens real doors.
Committed founders
Full-time, with skin in the game. The studio model demands presence on both sides of the table.
Colombia as home base
We operate from Colombia's coffee region with nationwide reach. We're where the company operates, not on a quarterly video call.
The process
From application to the working table.

To save us both time
What M1 is not.
We are not a bank
We don't lend money or charge interest. We come in as partners, with equity.
We are not an accelerator
No cohorts, no demo day, no twelve-week program.
We are not passive capital
If you want a check without a partner beside you, we're not your counterpart.
