Ligo Partners is a single family office based in Miami run by Alec Andronikov (Principal) and Cindy Mihalova (Chief Investment Officer). Ligo Partners co-invests with our discrete and invitation-only consortium of like-minded investors into disruptive tech-focused deal flow sourced directly from family offices and top venture capital firms worldwide. As of January 2023, Ligo Partners’ global platform co-invests with 2,455 domestic and international family offices and qualified investors with a combined net worth of $224 billion who are interested in non-traditional, market-uncorrelated technology investment opportunities that (a) are not easily found (think Uber at seed); and (b) have shown resilience to recent changes in the recent macroeconomic environment. Our investment team sources 90+ potential investments each month with an important selection criteria: the deal is led by a top venture capitalist or an investor in the Ligo family office community. Hence, 100% of our deal flow is warmly referred, often proprietary and mostly off-market. Our investment committee then selectively curates top 7 direct equity and venture debt investments showcased via a highly time-efficient 45 min curated deals monthly webinar.
