We partner with, invest in and build companies with driven entrepreneurs who are committed to innovating.

We’ve spent the last 25 years founding and scaling companies across telecom, media, health, and finance, backing over 150 ventures and launching 12 ourselves. That operational history now shapes how we think, where we go deep, and who we choose to work with.

Globalive operates as both a Build Studio and an investment platform. We co-build companies from the ground up and invest in founders who value long-term support.

Our team, under the leadership of Anthony Lacavera, Brice Scheschuk, and Simon Lockie, has been working together for over 25 years. This isn't a loose advisory board. It's a tight, experienced team that operates with shared conviction and an operational mindset.

We back high-trust people solving hard problems in regulated or overlooked spaces. We’ve been operators, strategists, and partners, and when we believe in something, we stay in it for the long run.
