Gen1 Capital
Gen1 Capital is a multi-family office with offices in Santiago, Chile; San Mateo, California; and Chicago, Illinois. It was established to manage and deploy capital for a group of wealthy families, though the founding principal and exact year of formation are not publicly disclosed. The firm's geographic spread — spanning South America and two US hubs — signals a focus on cross-border investment flows. The firm invests primarily in real estate, infrastructure, private credit, and agri-tech. Gen1 Capital targets both direct ownership and co-investment opportunities, frequently partnering with operating companies and other family offices. Its portfolio includes direct holdings in commercial real estate across Chile and the US, as well as participation in private credit funds focused on Latin American infrastructure projects (public record). Gen1 Capital's team size and exact AUM are not publicly disclosed. The firm's three offices — in Santiago, San Mateo, and Chicago — suggest a team of at least a dozen professionals, but no formal headcount has been confirmed. No recent operational events, such as fund closings or new hires, have been reported in the last 24 months (public record). What distinguishes Gen1 Capital is its cross-continental structure as a multi-family office that serves Latin American families while maintaining a direct presence in the US. This allows it to source deals in two distinct markets and provide a gateway for Chilean family capital into US real estate and credit. The firm's governance model — family-office structure with a professional management layer — is not fully transparent, but its tri-city setup is a structural rarity.
