Samaipata Ventures

About The Fund

Samaipata Ventures is a Venture Capital Fund based in London, specializing in Equity investments. They focus on Software (including Web Marketplaces, SaaS), IT & TMT, Education, Food & Beverage, and Logistics & Distribution sectors. Samaipata's investment approach is to back bold founders with the potential to create significant change. They pride themselves on thinking differently and endeavor to empower rather than overpromise or mandate, which they believe is crucial for fostering big change. Their team, referred to as 'The Hive,' goes beyond capital investment to provide comprehensive support for their portfolio companies. Samaipata operates with a high-conviction investment strategy, aiming to cut through the noise and focus on what matters most for success. They highlight the importance of interconnectivity within entrepreneurial systems and place a premium on founder mafias, exits, and stock options to drive collective success within the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem. Their 2024 activities underscore resilience and growth, despite challenging environments, by celebrating new funding rounds, team achievements, and strategic initiatives like the launch of a substack publication. Additionally, Samaipata hosts annual retreats such as The Hive Summit to foster a strong community, encourage collaboration, and support founders' success. Samaipata Ventures also actively engages in exploring how AI is revolutionizing software markets and advocates for integrating AI to serve the broader economy, addressing an innovator's dilemma for SaaS solutions. Transparency is a core value at Samaipata, and they openly share details about their investment thesis and operating philosophies to align with the needs of potential portfolio companies. Founders seeking investment are welcome to engage with Samaipata, which declares an interest in reviewing all opportunities presented to them.
