Elco started as something simple:

A way for Joshua and Rebecca del Rio to build things they cared about, with people they care about.
‍
It’s not your typical investment company.
‍
There’s no glossy mission statement. No buzzwords.
‍
Just a belief that business, wealth, and life aren’t meant to be separate.
‍
They're meant to be lived together with purpose, energy, and the right people around the table.

It all traces back to JdR’s story, growing up between cultures, working on the family vineyard as a teenager, rising through the ranks at a multi-billion dollar hedge fund, and figuring out what really matters along the way.

That journey shaped how Elco operates: do meaningful work, back good humans, and don’t compromise on values.

Elco has quietly grown into a home for other builders who think the same way. People who want to create real momentum, not just returns.

People who don’t separate their business from their life, they build both at the same time.

If that’s you, you’ll probably like us.
