About SAQR
A family office, built by two families.
The Popolizio and Nacinovic families founded SAQR Advisors to spot opportunities early and to invest family resources in them, alongside a small number of select partners.
How we invest
We are not passive investors.
We invest our resources, our time and our energy. Our team often works closely with the founders we back, and with the teams they build.
Our capital
We invest family resources in every opportunity we bring, alongside select partners.
Our time
We give the companies we back our attention and our experience, not just a cheque.
Our team
We work closely with founders and their teams where we can help most.
Leadership
The people behind SAQR.
Experience in bringing innovation to market, and the discipline to test every opportunity before we put family capital behind it.
