Ferbal Capital is a family office with over 15 years of experience. It’s guided by a core philosophy that technology enhances people’s lives. The firm actively invests in and nurtures a diverse portfolio of companies that are disrupting a broad range of industries – because there is no industry that technology cannot improve.
Ferbalcapital is a catalyst for improving quality of life and democratizing access to knowledge and business opportunities around the world. This is democratization within the technology itself, such as Web3, but also democratizing investments and business opportunities.
Chairman Emiliano Fernández Balague emphasizes a belief in teamwork for a common goal. This collaborative spirit is evident in the ambitious and forward-thinking companies that comprise the Ferbal Capital portfolio.
Transportation and industry with sustainable solutions
At the forefront of Ferbal Capital’s push for a more sustainable future is its investment in Aptera Motors Corp. This American startup is on a mission to create the most efficient transportation on the planet. Aptera’s solar electric vehicles are designed to require no charging for most daily use, something that could improve the lives of those with high electricity prices or no access to home charging. It could also dramatically reduce our collective carbon footprint. The range is around 400 miles, up to 40 of which is estimated to be from solar alone.
This commitment to renewable energy is also shared by VOLTA ion, a company that makes rechargeable truck jacks. By replacing traditional pneumatic jacks that rely on energy-intensive air compressors, VOLTA ion is introducing a more ergonomic, safer, way more environmentally friendly solution to the automotive service industry.
Another company in the Ferbal Capital portfolio, Ushi, is making outdoor adventures more accessible with its line of compact and lightweight trailers. For as cheap as $8,990, these tough, off-road trailers can carry over a ton of weight, toed by any car, meaning that more people can experience the outdoors without needing a large vehicle.
Decentralized technologies to empower creators and digital assets
Ferbal Capital has also made big inroads into the world of Web3 and decentralized technologies. It recognizes their potential to democratize access to both creative industries and enhance digital security.
Enigma has a unique solution for musical and artistic projects in Latin America. It uses Web3 technologies to help artists develop and monetize their digital communities. A big one is ticketing, in which artists can distribute and sell tickets through tokenization – this helps reduce fraud and the cut that major ticketing sites take. There’s also a marketplace to sell NFTs, like digital merch.
On the security front, ARX Alliance is a community of organizations that look towards working together and achieve better cybersecurity solutions under modern threat.
Making health and wellness more affordable
Within health, Ferbal Capital is backing ventures that are breaking down barriers to essential healthcare services. MX Brackets is a company that provides low-cost orthodontic solutions in Mexico. With 13 branches all around Mexico City and with plans for continued expansion, the company is making orthodontic care more affordable. For example, metal braces can be installed for as low as $585 MXN. These are the most common form of braces in the world, and with an easy online form, an appointment can be made in minutes.
Tapping into fan engagement within world sports
The world of sports is another area where Ferbal Capital believe it’s possible to make a difference through innovation. Energym is a company that captures and convert the energy generated during workouts into clean, usable electrical power. This not only promotes a healthier lifestyle but also contributes to a more sustainable future. Given the company has been featured by BBC, GymShark, and Sweatcoin, it’s clear to see the broad impact it’s having. A 30 minute workout could charge your phone up to 11 times!
Slice Token is another venture that is allowing golfers and tennis players to develop their careers through the financial support of their fans. The platform is a space for direct fan investment, where it’s possible to invest in players and sell it on a secondary market later on.
Rounding out its sports portfolio is Summa, a representation agency for athletes and artists. Summa’s work in organizing business clinics, producing events, and managing marketing is the modern approach to building a personal brand to level up a career. Or perhaps, the athlete is heading towards retirement and is looking to diversify their income stream!
Through its diverse portfolio, it’s clear that Ferbal Capital is demonstrating a commitment to its founding principles. By investing in companies that are not only profitable but also have a positive impact on society and more democratic access to investments or home products, Ferbal Capital is proving that financial success and social responsibility can go hand in hand. By focusing on disruptive technologies, it’s not about trends but making an impact.
