We tend to think about Kibo Ventures as a start up, and as such, we are optimistic entrepreneurs that understand risks, how difficult it is to create a successful company and that the best teams do not only look for capital.
We are hard workers, big thinkers and focused on execution, as it is our responsibility to support our founders with the insights to build extraordinary companies and returns for our investors.

What do we do?
Kibo invests early stage, in internet and mobile companies, with a "Super Angel" approach.
We engage actively with our portfolio companies, leveraging our broad and deep relationships in many markets.
We keep a constant and fluid relationship with the best entrepreneurs and investors, both at Spanish and global levels.
We look for companies in their early stages but we do not invest in seed stages. We aim to grow our investment as the companies grow and develop.
We invest initially from €500k to €1M. With our staged investment approach, we can reach up to €5M per company.
