de Anda Capital
Michael de Anda established de Anda Capital in 1993 after building his fortune in small-cap hedge fund strategies and venture gains. The firm operates as the dedicated vehicle for his personal capital and maintains a single-family office structure with no external LPs. De Anda Capital allocates across early-stage venture, growth equity, private credit and real estate. It participates through direct co-investments and SPVs rather than broad fund-of-funds mandates. Confirmed positions include a minority stake in the Golden State Warriors NBA franchise and a lead role in the FC Helsingør soccer club consortium in Denmark. The geographic footprint spans North America and Europe with additional exposure across Asia and Africa. No public headcount or AUM figure exists. The firm lists one additional relationship through Michael de Anda’s service on the DePaul University Board of Trustees. A 2015 NBA Championship Ring is held among personal assets tied to the Warriors ownership. No operational events from the past 24 months appear in available records. The office structure centers on direct alignment with founders and external managers rather than passive allocations. This produces concentrated exposure to sports franchises and operating businesses alongside traditional venture holdings.
