Spain's Boldest Founders.
Built for Global Markets.

We back Spain's boldest Series A founders — built for the US and Latin America.

Our Investment Thesis Apply for Funding

Series A Focus

We invest at the moment of commercial proof — when product-market fit is established, growth is accelerating, and the path to global scale is clear.

Spanish DNA

We have deep roots in Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia's thriving startup communities — and unmatched access to Spain's most ambitious founder generation.

Transatlantic Platform

Our network opens doors across New York, Miami, Mexico City, and São Paulo — connecting Spanish scale-ups to the capital and partners they need to win globally.

Operator Backing

We are founders and operators ourselves. We invest our time alongside our capital — with hands-on support for US market entry, LATAM expansion, and beyond.

Investment Thesis

Spain's Breakout
Moment Is Now

A new generation of Spanish B2B companies has emerged — technically world-class, commercially proven, and fundamentally different from anything Europe has built before.

Spanish founders carry a rare structural advantage: European product discipline and engineering depth, native fluency across 20+ LATAM markets, and a rapidly growing network of Spanish-speaking operators in the United States. This is not an emerging ecosystem — it is a breakout one. We invest at the inflection point, when traction is real and global ambition is non-negotiable.

Proven Revenue €500K–€3M ARR with strong year-on-year growth — product-market fit is established, not hypothetical
Transatlantic Ambition Active expansion plans towards the US and/or Latin America with a credible go-to-market thesis
B2B Technology SaaS, fintech, marketplaces, and deep tech — companies with durable, defensible business models
Execution-First Teams Founders who have built and shipped — engineers, operators, and domain experts over pure visionaries

Founders We Have Backed

The companies and teams that prove the thesis.

The Opportunity

A Structural Advantage
No Other Fund Has

Spanish founders occupy a unique position at the intersection of Europe's quality, Latin America's growth, and the US's scale. We are the fund built for exactly this moment.

01

The Spanish Ecosystem

Spain's technology sector has reached critical mass. Madrid and Barcelona now rank among Europe's top five startup hubs, producing world-class engineering talent and an increasing pipeline of B2B companies with €10M+ ARR milestones. Yet Series A capital with transatlantic conviction remains scarce — creating a structural gap we are built to fill.

02

The LATAM Advantage

650 million Spanish-speaking consumers across 20 markets represent one of the most underserved and fastest-growing technology opportunities in the world. Spanish founders have native cultural fluency, existing networks, and inherent trust advantages that no non-Spanish company can replicate. LATAM is not a secondary market for them — it is home territory with massive, largely untapped growth potential.

03

The US Gateway

Miami and New York have emerged as launching pads for Spanish-speaking technology companies targeting the American market. The US Hispanic population of 60M+ is the fastest-growing consumer segment in the country, and enterprise buyers increasingly prize Spanish-speaking operators who understand both markets. Spanish founders are no longer outsiders — they arrive with an unfair advantage built in.

"Spanish founders don't choose between Europe, Latin America, and the United States. They are built for all three."

For Founders

Capital Is the
Beginning, Not the End

When you raise from Spanish Founders Platform, you gain more than a check. You gain a dedicated partner who has done what you are trying to do — and a platform built to accelerate your transatlantic journey.

We work intensively alongside portfolio companies at the critical Series A inflection point — when hiring is hardest, when US market entry decisions are highest-stakes, and when LATAM expansion requires local intelligence you cannot buy. We are the first call, not just a board seat.

For Investors

A Differentiated Return
Profile. A Differentiated Fund.

Spanish Founders Platform offers institutional and sophisticated investors a structurally differentiated access point into European venture — with a global expansion thesis that drives premium outcomes.

Spanish Series A companies have historically been under-valued by the international venture community, creating an asymmetric entry point for investors with the sourcing depth to identify them early. Our fund is designed to capture this mispricing while building a portfolio with inherent diversification across European quality and transatlantic scale.

Proprietary Sourcing Deep relationships across Spain's top startup ecosystems provide exclusive access to deals that do not appear on international platforms
Expansion Multiple Series A companies that successfully execute a US or LATAM expansion typically command a 3–5× valuation step-up at their Series B, driving strong fund returns
Portfolio Diversification Non-correlated to US VC cycles — Spanish companies operate on European fundamentals with global growth upside across two distinct market opportunities
Operator GPs Fund managers who have built and scaled technology companies bring a perspective that purely financial VCs cannot — driving operational value alongside capital
