1212 Capital Partners exists for one reason: to own and operate companies in industries that are primary to human life. Food. Housing. The financial infrastructure that keeps commerce moving. The diagnostic intelligence that keeps businesses alive. Every company in our portfolio serves a need that does not disappear in a downturn, does not depend on trends, and does not require convincing anyone they want it.
The mission across all four companies is the same: build innovative products at the highest standard and make them accessible to every economic class.
We build homes for every social class. From workforce housing to premium residences, every unit is delivered with design-forward finishes, thoughtful architecture, and construction quality that treats affordable housing with the same attention as luxury. Over 500 residential units delivered and counting.
Healthy meals with exceptional taste, crafted by nutritionists and executed by expert chefs. Delivered across four Brazilian cities. Over two million meals prepared and distributed — proving that quality nutrition does not have to be a luxury reserved for the few.
Payment processing built for the businesses banks turn away. We make it possible for startups, e-commerce operators, and merchants deemed high-risk to acquire merchant accounts, process transactions, and grow. Over $1 billion in transaction volume processed.
A complete business diagnostic system — built the way a doctor treats the human body. Helcyon identifies the underlying conditions of a business, prescribes what is necessary for it to thrive, and detects fraud and waste before they become fatal. The mission: give every small business and startup the financial and analytical capabilities to stop driving blind.
