Overview

History

Swell Capital Inc. was founded in January 2019 by CEO Felipe Cusnir, who brought nearly two decades of experience in international markets and trade development. Cusnir previously spent five years leading international trade and investment initiatives for the City of Los Angeles and the Mayor's Office. The firm was established to merge business development, international trade, and investment advisory into a unified platform. From inception, Swell has focused on both raising capital and expanding international trade flows by connecting producers, exporters, and buyers across global markets.

Reputation

Swell Capital is recognized for its dual approach combining capital introduction with trade development, enabling holistic solutions for cross-border investments. The firm has built credibility working with institutional investors and multinational corporations across multiple continents. However, as a relatively young firm founded in 2019, it maintains a smaller profile compared to established investment advisory firms, with fewer than 25 employees and limited public visibility in mainstream financial media.
