In our continuous effort to innovate, we launched our fund of funds program in 2022, focused on the European opportunity to further work towards our vision of becoming a leading European VC firm.
Spanish firm unveils €30 million fund to invest in VC managers across Europe
Our entrepreneurial DNA as startup operators, ongoing investment activity, and related relationships in the European VC ecosystem differentiate us when accessing and assessing investment opportunities. This fund program is an additional step in our bold vision to create a leading VC firm in Europe.
We are creative and seek ways to create flywheels for us and all our stakeholders. On the one hand, we leverage our position as industry insiders and operators to become a “peer” LP that aspires to provide a differential edge to our partner GPs. On the other, we allow our LPs to access the VC asset class in Europe in a diversified manner through top VCs in the industry.
As VC insiders, we can make informed decisions fast, offering operational flexibility and a trustworthy partnership to walk any journey.
Creativity is at the core of everything that we do and we use diverse paths to capitalize on the European VC opportunity. We partner with GPs through a diverse catalog of options:
We make primary commitments to funds managed by top managers. We empathize with both managers and the entrepreneurs they back while having a strong knowledge base to contribute meaningfully to both.
We are far from being passive investors and seek good opportunities wherever they may be. We offer a versatile menu of liquidityoptions for GPs and LPs . Win-win.
We provide a differentiated value proposition to our partner GPs. We aspire to become one of those investors we would like to have as our LPs.
We are VC investors ourselves. We understand how VC works, the day-to-day complexities of running a fund, and its success factors. We speak the same language. It is likely that we have co-invested together or have regular work interactions. We are an easy-going yet professional partner for the long haul.
We are certainly not your largest LP, but we are market operators like you, which comes with benefits. From sharing relevant dealflow to helping assess opportunities in areas where we are experts or co-hosting an event at the next industry conference. We help you internationalize your investor base and put our resources and connections at your disposal in jurisdictions like Spain that command increasing interest.
Knowledge, market presence, passion for tech, European conviction, and a strong network are all elements we continue to cultivate and rely on daily. Our diligence in addressing and growing all these allows us to be efficient when analyzing new opportunities, so we are able to relay feedback and structure transactions fast.
Trust lies at the core of everything we do. We have built our reputation on dependability and honesty. Trust is earned and our LPs, partner GPs, portfolio entrepreneurs and other stakeholders can attest that we have earned theirs.
Our fund of funds program is not just a feeder for our direct investment activity. As GPs, we typically do not lead rounds internationally and are all about collaborating, so you can rest assured that we will be respectful and walk hand-in-hand with you.
