Adriana leads 1200vc's fundraising, LP relationships, and firm strategy. She is widely regarded as one of the architects of Mexico's venture capital ecosystem. In 2004 she created Mexico’s first public capital vehicle for science and technology entrepreneurs. She then co-founded INADEM (the National Entrepreneurship Institute) within Mexico's Ministry of Economy, where she directed over $280M in public resources toward entrepreneurship programs, catalyzed 45+ new investment vehicles, and supported 900+ high-impact startups. As Head of Venture Capital at Fondo de Fondos ($2B+ AUM), she led the early-stage deployment strategy and launched the first thematic impact Fund-of-Funds in Latin America alongside Sun Mountain Capital and Sonen Capital. She later led Global Entrepreneurship at Grupo Santander, building Santander X as the bank's first global innovation and entrepreneurship network. A Kauffman Fellow and speaker across the US, Europe, and Latin America, she has spent nearly two decades at the intersection of public policy, institutional capital, and venture investing.

Jose Miguel oversees fund governance, LP reporting, operations, compliance, and deal execution across 1200vc's investment vehicles, and co-leads fundraising alongside Adriana. As former CIO of Venture Capital and Impact Investments at Fondo de Fondos ($2B+ AUM), he led the allocation, monitoring, and reporting of institutional capital across 60+ fund and direct investments at one of Latin America's most established PE and VC platforms. He started his career at Citi's treasury department in Mexico City, overseeing trading desk operations and institutional sales, and co-founded a digital procurement marketplace. As president of AMEXCAP's VC Committee (2022-2023), he helped shape industry standards for Mexico's private capital market. He holds degrees from TEC de Monterrey (Industrial and Systems Engineering), EADA Business School and IPADE in association with MIT/LAVCA.

Paul leads 1200vc's platform strategy delivering on operational architecture, technology infrastructure, marketing, and portfolio connectivity across the Americas, while co-leading investment activity alongside Sam. The range of Paul is what makes him uncommon in VC: an entrepreneur and systems thinker who has lived and worked across five continents, he founded a youth employability venture operating across Africa, built the first engineered bamboo operation in Senegal for construction and biomass, and has advised UHNWIs and Family Offices across the EMEA region in their VC and Impact investments. A World Economic Forum Global Shaper, he studied at Suffolk University, the London School of Economics, and Oxford University's Said Business School. He is Spanish/French from Barcelona.

Sam leads 1200vc's investment pipeline, deal execution, and co-investment routing. Known in the ecosystem as a connector who opens doors before being asked, Sam pairs an unusual depth of self-taught technical fluency in deep tech and frontier science with active public and private markets experience that sharpens how he evaluates opportunities. He is one of the few investors in the emerging LP space who can discuss semiconductor physics, synthetic biology pathways, and satellite architecture with founders and then translate that into an investment thesis and diligence priorities. Before 1200vc, he co-founded and sat on the board of Odyssey, a FinTech investment platform, led Global Digital Marketing, and drove revenue growth across five brands at McIntosh Group. He is a board member of Sadowsky Guitars and has served as an advisor to Talipot Family Office since 2014, investing and underwriting across venture capital, private equity, and public markets. He is a native New Yorker.
