OFICIOSVARIOS (OV,) is a family-owned venture studio based in Medellín, CO. We build, own & operate a small portfolio of design-driven brands and companies.

Our companies,

At OV, we focus on shaping new ventures in market niches where our integral creative & management expertise can lead us to unique, sustainable businesses we can own & operate for the long term. 

We are different from venture capital investors: we’re operators who go beyond capital investment and mentoring to take on much more active roles in shaping all sides of a company – brand, product, team & business model.

Unlike creative studios or agencies, we don’t sell our design capabilities as a service to clients but focus on the development of our own ventures. We do partner with others who are leaders in their respective fields (get in touch!).

We care,

– We seek projects where we can generate both relevance and returns.
– We choose less ventures so we can go deeper, longer.
– We never delegate understanding.

We dare,

– We bet on ourselves and our ideas.
– We believe that being founders & operators makes us better as designers.
– We love the long-term process of building companies, with both the risks and rewards it entails.

We share,

– We play well with others & collaborate often.
– We seek models that generate benefits for many rather than a few.
– We hope to encourage fellow designers to pursue independence.
