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.
