Met Sergi in 2022. Left the meeting with one thought: if he ever starts something, I want in.
3 years after he called. We wrote the first check. Day zero.
Today Orbio raises a $21M Series A led by @dawncapital & @VisionariesVC. Fastest growing ARR in Europe.
We’re following on. ⭐ Proud!
during south summit, we hosted a sobremesa.
a long table, a shared meal, no agenda. just founders, operators, investors, and friends we admire and an afternoon to let it run.
trust doesn’t form in packed calendars. it forms slowly. around tables. between courses.
grateful for everyone who joined us!
Logistics is a multi-$ trillion market with unique complexities. Something that goes unnoticed by most people not in the industry is the $ billions lost from transport errors, lost/damaged shipments and claims.
This is where Opereit has found excellent traction: automating claims and errors with AI Agents. Excited to be participating in this $2.5M pre-seed round alongside @baobab_ventures , @seedcamp , @Yellow , @EnzoVentures , Masia and great Angels.
Well done Pablo Cousin! Excited to be part of the journey 🚀 https://t.co/QztrMImUFD
nobody had properly automated logistics billing recovery.
billions lost every year. silently.
Pablo and team do it at Opereit!
first check of the pre-seed alongside @seedcamp, Yellow and @Carles_Reina.
welcome to the family 🤠
southern europe tech is having its moment.
spain, italy, portugal are all building. but the ecosystems are at different stages of the same journey.
what they share is a first generation of category-defining companies being born right now. and those companies are doing something more important than building products, they’re recycling talent, capital, and ambition back into the ecosystem.
founders who watched this happen are now starting their own companies. knowing it’s possible changes everything.
the early-stage landscape splits in two:
there’s always been a long tail of solid, conservative founders. raising modest rounds from local VCs, building sustainable businesses, playing the slow game. nothing wrong with that. it works.
but a new cohort is emerging. fluent in english. comfortable in any room in the world. building from day 1 for global. raising from international VCs before they have product-market fit. thinking continental or nothing.
they’re still a minority. but they’re growing fast.
this second group doesn’t think of their mediterranean roots as a handicap. they’re proof that you can eat the world from barcelona, milan or lisbon.
that’s the bet Enzo makes. that group exists, it’s underserved, and it’s the future of southern europe tech.
not for everyone. exactly as it should be.
venture works best when it stays small.
but every once in a while you find someone that makes the team genuinely sharper
Nadhi joins @EnzoVentures. 🤠
Goldman, Zalando, Speedinvest, K Fund, 4+ countries
wasn't a hire. was inevitable
welcome to the crew 🤝
southern europe is booming. the alpha is here, and it’s still early.
great founders, real industries, global ambition. the ecosystem has never been more ready.
at @EnzoVentures we are building the infrastructure to capture it.
30+ investments and a front-row seat to what’s coming.
Steel is back!
Since the first image I created with OpenAI back in 2023, I’ve always thought that the real breakthrough would come when all this intelligence moved into the physical world. Where we actually live, build, and will continue to (despite the metaverse attempt 😅).
I’m convinced that robotics is next, especially in production and manufacturing, where efficiency truly matters.
And Europe has something special. A historic, deep industrial network ready to be reimagined.
More excited than ever to meet the next generation of founders building in robotics. We have fresh capital, first checks, pre-everything, full conviction. @EnzoVentures
DMs open!
A few days ago we hosted an AI Voice Hackathon in Barcelona with our portco Murphy AI and friends (and co-investors) at @elevenlabs. 🔊
Pure energy, builders creating voice agents, cloning accents, and pushing the limits of AI voice.
Barcelona’s AI talent is real. ⚡️
We backed Orbio AI since day 0.
With Sergi Bastardas it was a no brainer to back whatever he builds. Add Nacho Travesí & Antonio Melé = dream team ⭐️
The first truly AI-native HR system with autonomous agent.
Joining forces with @VisionariesVC, Plus Partners & 2100 Ventures.
Remuner raises $6.5M seed round! 🚀
We backed them at pre-seed, and today we’re doubling down. Welcome @SeayaVC leading this new chapter with @pearvc 🙌
Already working with big names, Remuner is fixing incentives with full automation + AI insights to truly motivate teams.
Fresh and special first investment of September.
Two Spaniards just accepted into YC’s upcoming batch. In August they got the YC acceptance, and we jumped in as their first believers. First fund they spoke with.
Pre-seed is @ycombinator + @EnzoVentures only. Full conviction. Nothing else.
The wave of Southern European talent hitting YC lately is incredible. This is all about people.
From a coffee in late 2024 to a €15M round led by @northzoneVC, with @elevenlabs, @lakestarvc, @seedcamp, and us at Enzo doubling down.
Murphy AI is out of stealth, transforming the $300B+ debt servicing industry with voice agents that actually work.
Southern Europe is 🔥
