Investment thesis
Archipélago Next backs exceptional founders, viewing venture capital as a people business and prioritizing teams that can both conceive and execute strong ideas. It invests at pre-seed and seed with initial tickets of €150K-€500K, flexible to round conditions, and follows on up to €1M. The fund is sector-agnostic but predominantly favors B2B SaaS models with genuine stickiness and 'painkiller' solutions rather than 'vitamins', and looks for early signals of product-market fit. Its geographic focus is Spain and startups with a clear connection to the Spanish market. Positioned as the first VC born in the Canary Islands, it supports portfolio companies across subsequent rounds for the long term.
