Our Story

After consulting experience in Europe, the USA, and Asia, Giovanni settled in Vietnam to work as a fund manager for two local investors. Spending time with entrepreneurs, he realized that several companies had excellent products that consumers love, but their organizations and lack of long-term planning constrained their expansion.

The founders of these companies were looking for partners that could support professionalizing their organizations. However, they were reluctant to give up control to strategic investors, as most founders were still young and energetic. 

Giovanni also noticed that traditional funds struggle to provide the required support for lack of time more than competence. Their structure incentivizes faster capital deployment to increase AUM  and sustain larger organizations in a relatively small market.

Maestro Equity Partners was launched to solve this mismatch, starting with a sector specialization, a larger team of professionals working on each portfolio company with a higher personal stake, and more selective investment criteria supporting a maximum of 5 companies simultaneously.

Vision

To turn undervalued consumer brands into national champions by working alongside founders and management teams. We prioritize quality over quantity when making investments.

Mission

By the year 2028, our goal at Maestro Equity Partners is to establish ourselves as one of the top three best-performing private equity investment firms in Southeast Asia (SEA) in terms of returns.

Approach

Our sector specialization and small portfolio foster closer relationships with founders in emerging markets, where corporate governance practices are limited, enabling superior value creation.

Our Commitment

We are the ideal fit for founders searching for a strategic partner while they still desire to maintain operational control.

We partner with organizations before they are equipped to receive external capital supporting their financial and legal restructuring while building a multi-year business plan with the founders that details our roadmap together.

Once the company is ready to receive capital, we invest between US$5 and 20 Million, supporting the founders in strengthening the organization and fine-tuning their product before the aggressive expansion.
