About Indico Capital Partners
We believe the Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian ecosystems have incredibly strong engineering talent that can generate innovative businesses and sustainable solutions at a global scale. Due to their limited local markets, Iberian entrepreneurs are forced to have an international mindset from day one. We set our mission to provide an exceptional pool of local talent with the capital and the knowledge to assist them in their quest for global expansion.
Our complementary Partners group and dedicated team have been behind almost the entirety of the successful tech stories and unicorns in Portugal over the last decade, both as investors and as entrepreneurs. Since we became the first sizable independent VC firm in Portugal in 2018, we proved this unique experience mix can successfully propel Iberian startups into international markets. We have since expanded from tech into climate action with the launch of an ocean-related fund in 2022 - a theme we are personally highly passionate about and professionally experienced.
Our continuous growth is driven by our core mission: leveraging Iberian talent for global impact.
Our focus is to support the best, most unique and scalable high tech and sustainable companies. The best means we look for teams that are highly ambitious, excepcional at execution and that are willing to partner with us, working side-by-side. This often means working hard, being creative, being totally honest and also realistic, while shooting for the stars.
We only back businesses that have a huge potential addressable market. Certainly in startups, we must believe the company can become a global category winner, and that such a category can produce sizable companies. With the Indico Founders Program to Series A and beyond, occasionally directly in a Series B or C opportunity.
When we invest in climate action related SMEs we look for growth potential as well so that our expansion capital can multiply the revenues and margins of the business considerably. We can invest up to 5M Euros into each SME seeking expansion capital.
Ambition and team are the key elements in building any company. Our entrepreneurs must be able to attract top talent to achieve the growth we all expect to become a reality.
