KIT Capital
KIT Capital was established in 2001 by Kaleil Isaza Tuzman. The firm manages wealth generated from his prior roles at Goldman Sachs, as CEO of KIT Digital, and as operator of digital media companies sold at multiples above 10x. Family members including sister Rebecca Anne Isaza Tuzman and father Luis-Orlando Isaza participate in hospitality assets and advisory functions. The office allocates across private equity, secondaries, and direct hospitality investments. Asset classes include growth equity in technology and media, turnaround situations, and real estate development. Geographic coverage spans North America and South America with emphasis on the Andean region. Confirmed holdings comprise Convento Obra Pía redeveloped as Maison Delano Cartagena in partnership with Accor, Blue Apple Beach Club on Isla Tierra Bomba, and Townhouse Cartagena. Additional land positions exist in Santa Marta and Guaduas. The firm also launched Mechanical Art Capital to provide financing solutions for watch collectors. Team size and total deployment figures remain undisclosed. Additional offices support operations in Bogotá, São Paulo, Dubai, Los Angeles, New York, and Austin. Kaleil Isaza Tuzman maintains memberships in YPO and the Council on Foreign Relations. Philanthropic activity occurs through Fundación Blue Apple. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. The office structure integrates family principals directly into investment and project execution rather than delegating to external managers. This produces a hybrid model that combines principal-operator oversight of hotel developments with selective co-investments alongside partners such as Viceroy Hotel Group.
