It’s a pleasure to support young Spanish talents in their journey to success. Congratulations to Iker García-Ferrero and Manuel Ángel Suárez Álvarez, go make some noise! 🚀
Today, we're proud to announce our partnership with 4 of the great Spanish VCs: JME Ventures, Kibo Ventures, Kfund and Samaipata. Ecosystems thrive when their components work together in harmony. Our goal at Exponential is to make Spain's startup ecosystem accelerate to new heights. The Spanish VC sector has been a critical vector for growth over the last 15 years. We couldn't be happier to work together. These funds have been integral partners to some of the most exciting companies to come out of our country 🇪🇸 – Flywire, Job&Talent, CoverWallet, an Aon company, Factorial or Deporvillage.com, just to name a few. Today, we join forces to change the lives of two outstanding Fellows that have recently landed in San Francisco: Iker García-Ferrero, working at krea.ai as ML Researcher, and Manuel Ángel Suárez Álvarez, who works at StackAI as ML Engineer. We hope this is the beginning of a long partnership – there is a lot more talent to connect and accelerate 👏

We’re very proud to announce our investment in Zynap and to welcome Daniel Solis and the team for the second time to the Kibo Ventures family! 🤩 The company has just announced a €5.7m seed round to continue developing a product that outsmarts hackers. By leveraging generative AI, the platform replicates the behaviour of cybercriminals and provides their clients with effective tools to proactively protect themselves before they occur. Following the experience of the team as leaders in threat intelligence and their success at Blueliv, we can’t wait to see what they build next. It is very special for us to be sharing the journey with Daniel Solis once again, and we're excited to be on this one with our friends from Kfund!

🔊 We are excited to announce our new investment in JOTELULU España, a company revolutionizing cloud services for SMEs! The company has raised a €6.8M Series A round to expand its geographical presence in Europe and make inroads into Latin American markets. We are delighted by David Amorín's leadership and team, who have already transformed over 1,000 partners into modern, competitive cloud service providers. 🗣️ In words of our parter Juan L. Santamaría “The leadership and ambitious vision of the Jotelulu team were pivotal to our investment decision. Jotelulu is much more than a cloud services platform—it is the primary gateway to the SME segment. By equipping IT suppliers with the tools they need to become the main channel for technological modernization, Jotelulu empowers SMEs to adopt cloud services and AI solutions specifically tailored to their needs.” Check out full info 👉 https://lnkd.in/d9UxTBrw

Great to see Jordi Vidal representing Kibo Ventures speak about the Spanish tech ecosystem at a CFOs breakfast organized by BBVA Spark in Barcelona. Thanks BBVA Spark for organizing it and putting such a lineup of founders, operators and investors together! ↗️
Ayer celebramos en Barcelona nuestro desayuno para CFOs de la mano de Glovo ✨ Empezamos la jornada con un 𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘦 seguido de una bienvenida por parte de Lucía Hojman, responsable de desarrollo de negocio en BBVA Spark España, y una apertura de la mano de Marta Ayala Ruiz, Global Director Finance Performance de Glovo. Tras la bienvenida, Jordi Vidal, partner en Kibo Ventures, comenzó su charla sobre "𝙀𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙤́𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙡 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙖 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙧 𝙚𝙣 𝙀𝙨𝙥𝙖ñ𝙖: 𝙤𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙮 𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙡𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙤́𝙣 𝙖 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙤", donde señaló que España se está convirtiendo en un ecosistema en crecimiento muy prometedor 🚀 Tras esta charla dio comienzo el panel "𝘾𝙁𝙊 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩: 𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙙𝙚 𝙚𝙡 𝙥𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙤", con Jorge Lluch, Cofundador y COO de Abacum, Lluis Vidal, CFO de Exoticca y Eduard Ros, CFO de Glovo. Moderado por Lucía Hojman: - "En un primer momento seguimos una expansión internacional muy agresiva. En segunda fase, más M&As estratégicos, y en tercera fase, más innovación", contaba Eduard Ros. - "Frente a la incertidumbre constante, lo mejor son las operaciones flexibles para cambiar la inversión en mercado en cuestión de minutos". "Preferimos tener un modelo ágil y no solo basarnos en predicciones económicas", nos decía Lluis Vidal. - "Hay que cuidar mucho a los inversores y dedicarles tiempo para generar relaciones. También hay que levantar lo mínimo posible de capital, teniendo mucha cabeza", señalaba Jorge Lluch. Un encuentro en el que tuvimos la oportunidad de aprender, dialogar y compartir experiencias, con el objetivo de destacar el rol clave de los CFOs en promover el crecimiento sostenible y estratégico de las empresas de alto crecimiento. ¡Gracias a todos por venir! 💙
