About Us
Constructive Activists (CA)
Investor activism was born in 1926 when Benjamin Graham —the father of value investing— waged a proxy fight against Northern Pipeline to make the company pay its excess cash to shareholders.
Constructive Activists Inc. (CA) is a fintech start-up inspired by Graham and his many follower's example, combined with efficiencies of scale and the impact of technology.
Our mission is to unleash trapped value by enabling investors' activism. Our approach makes the most of the experience, knowledge, and collaboration of large groups of stakeholders, harnessing the power of their collective-intelligence through the use of technology.
CA can boost effective problem-solving and consensus mechanisms in complex situations. We trust, the platform will be disruptive when interests are most entangled. We aim for unbiased coordination among different parties in order to impact and influence actionable agendas.We ease stakeholder engagement. In this manner, we help investors untap value trapped in privately held, public and state-owned organizations.
Venezuela White Paper (VWP)
Venezuela’s economic meltdown poses a destabilizing risk for the Western Hemisphere; however, it can also be considered one of the greatest and most complex value traps in today’s financial markets. The country’s divided society needs a non partisan constructive dialog to develop a broad-based consensus on the guidelines required to face its economic and social challenges.
This resource-rich South American nation is an ideal CA target and, therefore, the subject of our pilot project. “Venezuela White Paper” (VWP), a non-for-profit, social-impact initiative that aims to align the capabilities and interests of creditors affected by the massive debt default, thousands of the most talented Venezuelans around the world, and millions of citizens in need of aid.
VWP is a worthy, promising initiative for approaching Venezuela’s complex problems. It will allow collaborators to realized untapped value, identify opportunities, and provide the nation’s stakeholders with a space to disarm many of the structural traps at the core of the crisis. However, technology design, development and adoption processes requires time, so VWP’s first applications must start today regardless of the timing of the political landscape convolutions.
