Overview
d'Ara Family Office is the investment vehicle of the Clavel family of Mataró, whose business began in 1924 with a motorcycle sales and repair shop and grew into car dealerships, petrol stations and property development. From 2006 the family divested those businesses and in 2009 set up a family office investing in start-ups and as business angels. It manages real estate for sale or rent, invests in start-ups directly or through funds, and holds balanced liquid and illiquid fund portfolios. Its flagship property, the Torre d'Ara in Mataró, has been converted into a business centre.
