Founded in 2015, Sabadell Venture Capital operates as the venture capital division of Banco Sabadell, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain. It was established to leverage the bank’s resources and network to back startups in their early phases, typically those that are 4-5 years old and have demonstrated some traction. The fund’s investment approach evolved to focus on rounds with multiple participants, often co-investing alongside other venture funds such as Inveready Technology Investment Group and Caixa Capital Risc. The firm’s leadership and key partners have steered it toward becoming a significant player in Spain’s startup financing landscape, aligning closely with Banco Sabadell’s broader innovation and entrepreneurship goals[2][3][5].
