What is Victoria Venture Capital?

Victoria Venture Capital SCR-Pyme S.A., established in May 2015, is a venture capital firm authorized and regulated by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) with Administrative Registry number 4. The firm specializes in investing in spin-offs, aiming to transfer innovative and disruptive technologies developed by research teams to the market.

These spin-offs are generally new ventures pioneered by researchers and entrepreneurs eager to introduce their knowledge to the market through practical business application. Recognizing that these ventures often lack sufficient private capital and business expertise in their initial stages, Victoria provides financial investment and advisory services to address these needs.

The firm invests temporarily in the companies' capitals, offers additional financing, and provides business, financial, and corporate guidance to the founders of the participating spin-offs. The investment strategy targets spin-offs with high technological content and innovation potential, committed teams with international experience, and scalable, sustainable business models, ideally with some level of sales or customers already established.

Victoria Venture Capital focuses on early-stage businesses and the first growth phases, with a geographical emphasis on Spain, mainly Catalonia. The firm takes a minority stake in the companies' capital but may also offer various financial instruments.

Investment volume in these spin-offs can reach up to 500,000 Euros, with the aim to build a portfolio of 5 to 7 hands-on spin-offs. The firm's investment committee, comprising private investors with business and sector experience, independent sector experts, and the management team, validates the technologies and approves investments in selected spin-offs.

Key sectors of interest for Victoria Venture Capital include cleantech, such as clean energy and water, industrial sectors involving new materials, and others that contribute to clean technology and advanced materials markets.
