Carmen Busquets is a Venezuelan entrepreneur, philanthropist and investor who was an early champion of the fashion-tech space.[1][2] She was the co-founder and founding investor in Net-a-Porter.[3][4] Since 1992, Busquets has invested £50 million in fashion-tech companies in the United Kingdom and the United States,[5] generating an estimated 10,000 jobs.[6]
Busquets opened a boutique named Cabus in Caracas, Venezuela in 1990.[7] With returns from technology stocks that she sold prior to the 2000 "dot-com" crash, she became a co-founder and founding investor in Net-a-Porter after meeting founder Natalie Massenet.[8] Busquets also had a belief Net-a-Porter would be successful having previously sold luxury fashion to clients via photographs through her boutique, Cabus in the pre-internet age.[9]
Net-a-Porter's sale to Compagnie Financière Richemont in 2010 netted Busquets over 16 times her initial investment.[10] In 2012, Busquets founded Cabus Venture, a dedicated investment vehicle to finance entrepreneurs within the luxury and fashion community and commerce offerings.[11] She was an early investor in New Age pioneer Deepak Chopra in the 1980s.[12] Busquets is known as a vocal proponent of sustainability, focussing on impact investment and sustainable businesses.[13]
Busquets' current portfolio includes Moda Operandi, Farfetch, Lyst, The Business of Fashion, Cult Beauty, FLOWERBX and Tagwalk.[14][5][15]
