Manen Kothari – Managing Partner, Venus Ventures LLC
As a Chartered Accountant (CA) and U.S. Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Manen Kothari brings a unique blend of financial expertise and entrepreneurial drive to Venus Ventures. Licensed in insurance, financial advisory, and mortgage services, he has helped clients build smart businesses, protect assets, and grow wealth across sectors.
In real estate, Manen specializes in acquiring and repositioning undervalued residential and commercial properties. He is currently leading a $26M office-to-multifamily conversion in Schaumburg, showcasing his focus on innovation and long-term value. His strong network of REO agents and asset managers gives him access to exclusive off-market deals, giving him a competitive edge in sourcing high-return investments.
In the hard money lending space, Manen has deployed over $15 million across multiple real estate-backed LLCs over the past 5–6 years, funding projects for investors and builders. His conservative underwriting and market insight have ensured strong returns with effective risk management.
Beyond real estate, Manen is also a startup enabler. As a co-founder and advisor to RemiDirect.com, a cross-border fintech company, he has helped build scalable systems, guide regulatory strategy, and raise capital for long-term growth.
With Venus Ventures, Manen brings all these experiences together to lead investments in high-potential real estate, secure lending opportunities, and game-changing startups.
As CFO and strategic partner, Manen Kothari played a pivotal role in launching the RemiDirect app—an international money transfer platform built to meet the highest standards of security and compliance. From navigating complex licensing requirements and AML/KYC protocols to coordinating legal, banking, and regulatory relationships, Manen personally oversaw every key step. His financial insight and operational leadership helped turn a vision into a functioning, compliant, and scalable fintech solution
“Manen Kothari identified a 110,000 sq. ft. office building in Schaumburg, IL—previously sold for $13 million for 2 million - as a high-potential asset hiding in plain sight. Where others saw an outdated office complex, he saw an opportunity for transformation. With strategic foresight, he led the acquisition and is now spearheading the conversion into a 98-unit luxury apartment development. From navigating zoning approvals to securing village support, Manen and partners are driving what is now recognized as the first project of its kind in Schaumburg’s history—blending modern residential living with walkable access to retail, parks, and public transit.”
“Back in 2010 and 2011, Manen wasn’t just my tax accountant—he was the one who pushed me to go ‘all in’ on rental real estate when no one else was thinking that way. I ended up buying around 40 condos and townhomes at rock-bottom prices. Today, those properties have tripled or quadrupled in value and give me 12–15% annual passive income. Thanks to Manen’s vision, I now have a retirement plan that pays me every month.”
