Owners Circle is on hold for now. We made an offer on a venue in Poblado, but didn’t reach an agreement. Our focus is now on a project in the US, so we’ve paused the Medellín launch until we can give it the attention it deserves. We remain committed to the idea, and the right local partner could allow us to move forward sooner.

Venue experienced owner, tech and hospitality background.

Ran launch marketing and growth at Uber Eats in its early days. Founded Savvy Orders, a Seattle restaurant-ordering platform. Then put both those muscles to work opening real-world venues — co-founded Emporium (nightclub + restaurant) and Crybaby (cafe + bar) in Washington state, both open since 2021. First landed in Medellin in 2017, long before the current wave.

Medellín Partners · In conversation

Operators who already run rooms here.

We're in final-stage conversations with multiple Medellín nightlife operators — each with a track record of running bars and clubs in Poblado. The partnership isn't signed yet, so names aren't public. What matters is the bar we've set: every candidate has already operated a licensed nightlife venue in this city, through its permits, its vendors, and its rhythms — before a single peso of Owners Circle capital is on the table.
