UpVentures Capital

Little Falls, New York, US

UpVentures Capital is the investment and business-operating unit of the US UpVentures group based in Little Falls, New York. Its current primary site focuses on acquiring profitable lower-middle-market businesses, especially B2B software, technology-enabled services and managed services, and supporting their operations and growth. It also describes selective early-stage and pre-IPO participation through partner VC/family-office networks and SPVs. Founder Martin Babinec's own biography identifies his creation of UpVentures Capital; current group leaders' affiliations are qualified separately from direct unit employment. The Capital-filtered published roster identifies Melissa Pegus, while Nasir Ali and Michael Sciotti are published group investment leaders. This is distinct from UP Ventures Group in the UK, the Italian UpVentures venture studio and Upfront Ventures. SleepSpace's issuer crowdfunding materials explicitly identify UpVentures among prior venture backers; exact subscribing legal vehicle, closing date and ticket size are unpublished. The current portfolio page exposes no named investments in its fetched public body, and no independently established LP fund corpus is imported.
