Square One is a Group that is rooted in Venezuela and operating globally.
After more than four decades of operating deliberately below the radar. The group now opens selectively to institutional partnerships as Venezuela enters a new chapter.

Compounds.
Strength and stability that accumulate and that fund every ambition of the group.

THE GOGUIKIAN FOUNDATION
An independent nonprofit that channels capital to where help is needed, with institutional-level governance and accountability behind every donation.
