Our Guiding Philosophy
Opera 1: Investing in Innovation, Building the Future
​
At Opera 1, we believe that private equity—particularly venture capital—offers investors the opportunity to outperform public markets. This is due to its fundamentally more efficient and less saturated nature compared to public equities. Venture opportunities are often local, unpublished, and accessed through networks rather than traditional markets.
Venture capital stands out as an asset class where active portfolio management can substantially elevate returns. At the heart of this outperformance lies a key conviction: venture capital is not just finance—it's about building companies, pioneering new industries, and shaping future service ecosystems.
We believe that the most successful managers of the coming decade will be those who recognise this distinction and act accordingly.
Opera 1 operates across a network of dynamic global cities, with a strong presence in the UK, Singapore, China, UAE, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Africa, and Russia.
We are proud to be part of the DDC Group, a seasoned international consultancy in venture capital since 1991, dedicated to fostering innovation and creating long-term value through strategic investment.
