Meet Craig

Craig Dempsey has spent more than a decade building companies across Latin America.

He founded The StartupVC as a platform for creating new ventures and investing in others. Through this platform, he originated and grew Biz Latin Hub into the region's leading provider of market entry and back-office solutions, now operating across 18 countries.

Craig is hands-on. He works directly with the founders and teams he backs, bringing what he's learned from years of running businesses in Latin American markets. That includes compliance, market entry, regional expansion, and the unglamorous day-to-day work of growing service companies across different jurisdictions.

Through The StartupVC's family office, Craig invests his personal capital into companies with solid fundamentals, room to grow, and a fit with what he's already built.

Before Latin America, Craig served as a commissioned officer in the Australian Army with deployments to Central Asia and the Middle East. He also worked as a mining executive in Australia, Canada, Peru, and Colombia. He has a Mechanical Engineering degree with honors and a Master's in Project Management from the University of New South Wales.

Craig is Chairman of Medical Tourism Packages and co-author of The LATAM Medical Travel Playbook.
