A holding group, built deliberately.
Grupo Teixeira e Neto is a privately held holding group founded in 2018 by João Teixeira Neto. We own and invest in operating businesses across technology, capital, aviation, e-commerce, housing and luxury — under one personal, deliberate identity.
One founder. Seven disciplines. One holding.
GTEN sits above a portfolio of operating businesses and structured ambitions. It is not a venture fund, not a conglomerate, not a private-equity house. The closest reference is the European family office at the start of its scaling phase — Agnelli, Mulliez, Brenninkmeyer in spirit. The permanent ones, not the flashy ones.
Three pillars operate today: Alsvior Global, a senior technology consulting firm with FTSE 100, Fortune 500 and UK Government clients; Hobbyzy, an early-stage consumer e-commerce platform; and R&D, an in-house engineering programme based in Spain.
Four further pillars are stated ambitions, pursued methodically and on the founder’s terms: Capital, Aviation, Housing and Luxury. They are described publicly because GTEN’s posture is transparent — but they will form when the right operators, transactions and conditions converge, not on the timetable of a press release.
The group operates from Barcelona, Porto, Lisboa and London. It is English, Portuguese and Spanish in roughly equal measure. It will remain so.
How we run the group.
We make decisions on horizons measured in decades, not quarters. There is no fund clock and no exit obligation.
Every business in the group is run by people who have skin in the outcome and are accountable to a single shareholder.
We deploy capital where time is the moat. We are happy to wait for the right transaction; we will not rush a wrong one.
We do not staff with juniors and we do not offshore. Where it matters, the most experienced person in the room is ours.
The brand follows the discipline of the European family office tradition — quiet, precise, unflashy. We do not perform.
The founder is a commercial pilot. The group is run on checklists, redundancy and attention to the long horizon.
João Teixeira Neto
Entrepreneur, licensed commercial pilot, enterprise architect, investor. João founded GTEN in 2018 as the platform for what he chose to build — across software, capital, aviation, and property.
The discipline of the cockpit shapes how the group is run: checklists before take-off, redundancy in the systems, attention to the long horizon.
Ana Teixeira Neto
Senior Business Intelligence consultant with over a decade in data and analytics. At Alsvior Global Spain (2021–2025), Ana led reporting and BI engagements for the National Exhibition Centre, the University of Southampton, Exagen, IOHK and the South African Government — across government, renewable energy, healthcare, higher education and cryptocurrency.
Her route into data ran through chemical engineering, scientific research and laboratory leadership. The discipline is the same in every register: rigour first, decisions second, dashboards last — the analytic spine of how the group reads its operating businesses.
Seven pillars under one identity.
GTEN is the holding entity. Each pillar operates under its own brand, leadership and operating cadence — but inherits the group’s capital discipline and long horizon.
