L. Antonio B. Vilardell
Partner @ Ligo Partners Family Office
About
Partner and Head of Growth Equity at Ligo Partners, a single family office based between Miami and New York. We invest with our discrete and invitation-only consortium of like-minded investors into disruptive tech-focused deal flow sourced directly from top venture capital firms and investors worldwide. Hence, 100% of our deal flow has a lead, is warmly referred, often proprietary and mostly off-market. In parallel, Ligo Partners family office invests in tech debt financings; tech secondaries; traditional roll-up strategies with a tech component and off-market real estate opportunities. Since 2022, Ligo Partners have deployed $620mm into 97 companies backed by tier-one investors; 8 investment funds anchored by tier-one sponsors - and successfully exited 13 venture-backed companies. Prior to Ligo, Antonio was a Venture Partner at AI8 Ventures, an SF based VC fund, and founding advisor for Metabob, an AI-based meta-analysis startup from Palo Alto. Track record both as a serial founder (some failures, some not so failures) and operator. Outside of work, Antonio is a member of the World Economic Forum Global Shapers, and mentor at the Future Entrepreneurship Challenge with Harmony Plus, and Vencapital.
