Our support does not end with an investment or a launch. At GCO Ventures, we work actively with startups, adapting our level of involvement to each project.

When we invest as venture capital, we provide:

• Capital: we invest with a long-term view, adapting the structure and pace of investment to the needs of each project.
• Knowledge: we share our experience in strategy, business development, product and operations, bringing an external perspective at key moments.
• Network: we facilitate connections with investment funds, corporate partners, talent, specialised advisors and the GCO ecosystem, accelerating growth and collaboration opportunities.

When we build startups through the venture builder, our support is more operational from the outset:

• Strategic mentoring: we provide ongoing support in key decisions to help focus, prioritise and scale the business.
• Financial support: we help with financial planning, budget control, metrics tracking and reporting preparation.
• Legal and tax support: we support the company from incorporation through day-to-day operations, including contracts, shareholders’ agreements, compliance and accounting.
• Shared technology tools: we provide early access to a stack of tools for management, automation, analytics and operations.
• Design, development and marketing resources: we facilitate access to specialised providers in branding, product and UX/UI.
• Talent and recruitment: we support the identification, selection and hiring of key profiles to build the initial team.

In both cases, the objective is the same: to work hand in hand with the team to scale the business with a long-term vision.
