Roberto Ranera stands out for actively tracking new technologies in research journals and contacting scientists directly, often building companies from scratch around a single researcher or lab asset, then guiding them through a specific funding sequence from proof-of-concept to pilot production to market testing. As a co-founder and 20% owner of BeAble Capital since its founding in 2008, he ties this hands-on approach to science investing to concrete outcomes, pointing to dozens of companies created and more than 100 high-quality jobs from the firm's first fund as part of Europe's push for reindustrialization.
