Investment Philosophy

At Batalla Family Office, we are dedicated to building a better future by investing in bold entrepreneurs who challenge the status quo and drive technologies that positively impact society. We believe that innovation knows no boundaries, and our mission is to empower visionary leaders committed to creating meaningful change.

Our forward-looking market analysis helps us uncover overlooked opportunities while emphasizing long-term sustainability. As a politically neutral organization, we are passionate about fostering collaboration; however, we firmly believe that politics and ideology should not play a role in building a startup. This approach allows entrepreneurs to focus on their mission and creativity, free from external pressures that can divert attention from innovation and growth.

While we recognize the intention behind the current ESG framework, we find it often misleading. The emphasis on short-term performance metrics can overshadow genuine sustainability efforts, leading to investments that may look responsible on the surface but fail to deliver real environmental and social benefits. Additionally, the focus on compliance can result in tokenism rather than fostering true impact.

Our conviction remains that investing in transformative technologies and visionary leaders can create lasting change without being constrained by an ineffective framework. We are excited to contribute to a brighter, more sustainable future for our communities and the world, where innovation thrives and entrepreneurial spirit knows no limits. Together, we can build a future that benefits everyone, guided by purpose and potential.

Our History

The Batalla Family's lineage traces back to 1933, when José Guillermo Batalla, a multifaceted entrepreneur politician, and poet, established the "Oficina de la Familia Batalla." Leveraging his acumen, he strategically acquired a substantial tract of land within what would eventually become Panama's Financial District. Collaborating with various construction entities, he orchestrated the district's development.

Upon Jose's demise in 1962, the control of the company passed to his daughter, Graciela Batalla, who assumed the role of CEO. During the 1980s and 1990s, she spearheaded the expansion of the company's real estate holdings, and the organization expanded into other areas.

The office was reopened in 2012, propelled by the initiative of José Guillermo Batalla III, the grandson of the company's founder. In a strategic departure from convention, José divested more than a quarter of the company's real estate assets, pioneering the creation of a crypto portfolio.

Batalla Family has become a pioneering family office, with a diversified portfolio of startups and properties around the world.
