B1 FINANCIAL
B1 FINANCIAL was established in 2010 by Alejandro Bautista to serve Latin American family wealth. The firm operates as a multi-family office, pooling capital from a small group of high-net-worth families. Wealth origin traces back to industrial conglomerates in Colombia and Mexico. The firm invests in a mix of asset classes including private equity, real estate, infrastructure, venture capital, and private credit. B1 FINANCIAL targets direct co-investments and club deals rather than fund commitments. Known deals include participation in a $50M infrastructure fund in Colombia and a $30M real estate development in Miami. Geographic focus spans Latin America and select US markets, particularly Florida. B1 FINANCIAL employs roughly 15 professionals between its Miami headquarters and a Bogotá office. The firm operates as a regulated family office, handling both investment management and estate planning for its families. It is a member of the Family Office Club network. The firm's structural differentiator is its Latin American focus and its model of aggregating capital from multiple families into direct deals. This gives it access to proprietary opportunities in infrastructure and real estate that would be too large for any single family.
