“95% of your project’s success depends on your social circle.”

David McClelland — Harvard Business School
Why it exists

The best deals rarely come through an open call: they come through someone who knows you and knows what you are looking for.

The Black Circle gives that structure: the same criteria, the same people, and a system that makes things happen. Today with members across the Americas and Europe.

Warm Intros

Introductions made with intent.

We don’t swap contacts: we choose. Every introduction starts from knowing what each person is looking for and why the other one is the right fit. We create connections that have the potential to change your life.

  • Shared context before the meeting
  • Follow-up until the conversation moves

Roundtables

Small tables, concrete agreements.

When a real business or investment opportunity appears, we set the table. Confidential, focused, and with the people who can decide.

  • Six to eight people, one agenda
  • No observers, no intermediaries
03
Exclusive opportunities

Investments born inside the circle.

Members bring their own projects: developments, companies, farmland, startups. We curate them, structure them and share them only with those who have expressed interest, with the information needed to decide.

Nothing is published. Projects are presented in person, as concrete opportunities, and each member decides how to move forward.

Concierge

Someone listening to what you need.

From day one we work on your specific search: a partner, a market, capital, a trusted supplier. The concierge proactively turns that search into connections, with introductions to members who can add value for you.

  • An onboarding conversation to understand your year
  • A direct channel, not a form

Víctor Estrugo and Diego Goldman
Our founders

Víctor Estrugo
and Diego Goldman

For more than a decade, hundreds of connections happened organically among the founders’ contacts. They founded companies, did business together and were invited onto a range of boards. They built international networks and conferences, launched tech and social ventures, and introduced hundreds of people around the world within their network.

Internally, they called these initiatives the “Black Circle”. Today, you can be part of it too.
