FAQ
About CCV
Who is Creative Capital Ventures?
A global investment group focused on culture, lifestyle, sport and entertainment.
We combine fund management with direct investment, and we operate as much as we invest.
Where are you based and where do you invest?
With a presence in Hong Kong, Lisbon, London and LA, we're a truly global team.
That footprint lets us source, back and support businesses across Asia, Europe and the Americas.
What does the group consist of — funds, holdco?
We have a range of tools at our disposal — closer to a merchant bank than a traditional fund.
We can raise dedicated capital for a project, invest off our own balance sheet, or deploy through one of two funds we manage.
What we invest in
What sectors and themes do you focus on?
Culture and lifestyle. Sport and entertainment.
An antidote to AI and the algorithm — as life moves on-screen, real-world experiences become more valuable, not less.
People want more, together, in their tribes — and they're consuming entertainment in new ways.
What stage and size of investments do you make?
We're currently focused on buyouts and turnarounds at mid-stage, with average cheques between $5–50 million.
We stay flexible — exceptional founders always get our attention.
Do you invest globally?
Yes — our footprint gives us reach across Asia, Europe and the Americas.
We follow good businesses and good operators, not geographies.
How we work
What's your investment philosophy?
We back businesses that bring people together in the real world.
The more digital life gets, the more valuable culture, sport and entertainment become.
We invest in things we understand and can help build.
What does your process look like from first meeting to decision?
A fairly standard screening and evaluation process, culminating in our Investment Committee.
We have a deep network and regularly bring in industry experts to help us through the journey.
How do you make decisions — who's involved and how fast can you move?
Our Investment Committee meets every two weeks, and we're known for moving quickly when the conviction is there.
Working with portfolio companies
What do you bring beyond capital?
Access, network and hands-on growth teams.
We open doors, make introductions and put real people on the ground when a business needs operational firepower.
How involved are you post-investment?
Actively. We tend to bring new ideas — and the team to implement them.
Founders should expect a partner that shows up.
What do you expect from founders and management teams?
Ambition, openness and pace.
The partnership works when teams treat us as an extension of their own.
