LemVega Capital
LemVega Capital was established in 2021 by Caroline Farah Lembck, who serves as the firm's founder and CEO. Lembck also maintains membership in the Forbes Finance Council and the Young Entrepreneur Council, placing her within invitation-only peer networks of high-performing founders and financial executives. The firm operates from San Juan, Puerto Rico, at 450 Avenida de La Constitucion, and serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients through a broadly diversified investment mandate. The firm's strategy spans venture capital across multiple stages, with a particular focus on enterprise software, digital health, and fintech. A dedicated Biotech Venture Fund sits within the platform, overseen by Venture Partner Dr. Crean. Beyond direct venture exposure, LemVega manages a mixed-use premium real estate portfolio concentrated in Puerto Rico and the mainland United States, alongside a clean energy strategy with global reach. The firm also maintains curated holdings in fine art, fine wine, rare memorabilia, and a yacht experience offering—assets that suggest a lifestyle-integrated wealth management approach rather than a pure institutional venture mandate. Chris Conant, formerly CEO of Peak Capital, joined as Managing Partner and Chief Growth Officer, bringing operating experience to the platform. Michael Mazzeo serves on the board. The firm does not publicly disclose assets under management or total deployment figures. LemVega's structure blurs the line between a registered investment advisor and a single-family-influenced holding company. The combination of venture funds, real property, collectibles, and a clean energy strategy under one roof is unusual among San Juan-based managers, and the simultaneous operation of The Lembck Foundation—a separate philanthropic entity—reflects a governance architecture that originated with the founder's personal balance sheet before expanding to external clients.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at LemVega Capital?
Founder and CEO Caroline Farah Lembck leads the firm's investment strategy. She is supported by Managing Partner Chris Conant, who oversees growth initiatives and previously led Peak Capital as CEO, and by Venture Partner Dr. Crean, who directs the firm's biotech venture fund. The firm has not publicly detailed a separate investment committee structure.
Is LemVega Capital structured as a venture firm, a family office, or an asset manager?
LemVega operates as a registered investment advisor but its portfolio composition—venture funds alongside direct real estate, fine art, a yacht experience, and a clean energy strategy—resembles a hybrid model closer to a family-backed merchant bank. The firm serves both ultra-high-net-worth individuals and institutions, which distinguishes it from a pure single-family office.
What investment stages does LemVega Capital target?
The firm's venture activities span general venture stages, with no single-stage restriction indicated in its public materials. The dedicated biotech fund and presence of a venture partner focused on that sector suggest at least early to growth-stage exposure in life sciences, while its broader venture mandate likely covers multiple stages across enterprise software, digital health, and fintech.
Where does LemVega Capital source its deal flow?
The firm has not publicly described its sourcing model. Founder Caroline Farah Lembck's membership in the Forbes Finance Council and the Young Entrepreneur Council—an invitation-only network of high-performing founders—provides access to entrepreneur communities that may generate deal flow. Chris Conant's prior role as CEO of Peak Capital also connects the firm to the venture ecosystem.
Does LemVega maintain philanthropic structures, and how are they separated?
Yes, The Lembck Foundation operates as a separate entity tied to the founder. The firm's materials list it as a related foundation rather than an integrated program, which follows the standard governance pattern of housing philanthropic activity outside the investment advisor to maintain legal and operational separation from client assets.
What is LemVega Capital's known posture on co-investments?
The firm has not publicly detailed its co-investment policies or practices. Given its hybrid structure and service to both individual and institutional clients, any co-investment framework would likely be negotiated on a deal-by-deal or client-specific basis, but no confirmed structure has been disclosed.
Which sectors does LemVega Capital explicitly avoid?
LemVega has not published an explicit exclusion list. Its tagged sectors—enterprise software, digital health, fintech, and clean energy—suggest an affinity for technology-enabled themes, while the luxury asset holdings (fine art, wine, yacht access) indicate a parallel focus on hard assets and lifestyle investments that most conventional venture managers do not carry.
