Terracota Projects is a private holding company inspired by the legendary Terracotta Warriors of China’s first emperor, Qin Shi Huang. Like these ancient sentinels that have endured for over two millennia, we build and invest in long-term projects at the frontier of technology, often alongside founders and operators, backing ventures that prioritize durability over speed and substance over hype.
The name also reflects our family heritage, recalling a Spanish home where weekend gatherings fostered creativity, curiosity, and connection. These roots ground our belief that the most durable ventures are built with both ambition and care, and stewarded with a long-term mindset. Read more about the Terracotta Warriors →
