- DosMundos is a Miami-based partnership managing a portfolio of companies in accordance with proven principles, methods, and strategies
- We position companies to earn the right to scale and pursue greater ambitions
- We are not a VC fund
- The founding partners of DosMundos are Anton Diego and Seth Cassel, the co-founders and executive leadership of Miami-based EveryMundo
DosMundos is the fusing of two worlds – paradoxes and dichotomies yielding unexpected outcomes
- Build great companies, but with patience and limited capital
- Miami as the right place to build great companies, and a model for other cities accused of not having “venture-scale” companies or talent
- Invest in underestimated talent – sometimes foregoing experienced talent
- Achieve greatness through discipline, not unbridled growth
- Prioritize market dominance and ownership, no matter how small the TAM
- Earn the right to ambition and longer-term vision; don’t start with it
- Exit isn’t the goal; it’s just a strategic option when the time is right and it’s the responsible thing to do
- Find and invest in underestimated talent
- Be obsessive about process and discipline
- Create categories and steer clear of dominant competitors
- Time is our companies’ most precious asset – even more than capital
- Our companies operate with patience and act deliberately
- Quality of company is more important than size of company
- We focus on the journey, not the destination – an “exit” isn’t always the goal
- When making choices, our companies bat for average rather than swing for the fences
- Our companies earn the right to pursue bigger ambitions as we learn and gain experience over time
DosMundos partners with and coaches the leadership of our companies while ensuring adherence to our guiding principles and a clear, cohesive plan of execution
Incubation
- We co-found companies by partnering with experts who demonstrate great leadership and vision
- We co-build for sustainable growth and limited requirement for additional outside capital
Evolution
- We partner with the leadership of companies that require a strategic shift to achieve new heights
- Our focus is a service company (e.g. a software development shop) that can elevate its ambitions if it applies its expertise and resources to more valuable pursuits (e.g. a SaaS product)
Restoration
- We take control of established companies not realizing their potential due to an inability to cultivate talent, operate in accordance with disciplined processes, or separate from competition in the market
- We create a detailed plan of execution to achieve financial self-reliance and sustainability
- We provide the capital needed to complete the plan
- The timeline is case-by-case
- We work as teammates with leadership (whether existing or new) to operationalize the plan of execution
- We guide leadership’s deployment of the operational and strategic frameworks we provide
- We provide the capital needed to complete the plan
- The timeline is case-by-case

Identity and clarity of purpose for each company
- The right size aspirations, whether it’s about exit or profit or something in between
Great jobs at great companies (not necessarily big companies, but they can be)
- Quality job creation and talent development is our contribution to economic growth in Miami, where we intend to base our companies unless there is a compelling reason not to
Cooperation among DosMundos companies and their leadership teams
