Fernando Díaz Solís co-founded and leads Nzyme, Kibo Ventures' dedicated lower-mid market private equity platform, making him a bridge between classic growth/VC and control-buyout investing within the same broader house, which is relatively distinctive in the Spanish ecosystem where VC and PE platforms are often separate brands. He brings over 20 years of prior private equity experience into a primarily venture-oriented firm, giving him a more traditional PE toolkit applied within a tech and SME-focused context at Kibo/Nzyme.

Notable Investments
Kibo Ventures operates as a high-conviction "super-angel" fund that bridges angel and institutional capital in Spain, with a systematic approach of investing in companies with Spanish angles while deploying globally, producing exits to major tech acquirers like Apple, PayPal, and Airbnb despite its boutique size. The firm has built a dual platform spanning early-stage deeptech/AI venture capital and a €200m tech-focused private equity fund, while developing proprietary AI-driven sourcing systems and maintaining structured Europe-US bridge capabilities through its Silicon Valley-experienced Chairman.
