Índico Capital Partners

Índico Capital Partners focuses on investing in globally promising tech and sustainable companies originating from Portugal, Spain, and Italy. The firm believes that these Southern European ecosystems possess strong engineering talent capable of building innovative businesses with global scalability. Due to the limitations of local markets, entrepreneurs in these regions are compelled to adopt an international mindset from the outset. Índico aims to provide this exceptional talent pool with the necessary capital and knowledge to facilitate their global expansion. The firm invests in technology companies across various sectors, including Software as a Service (SaaS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deeptech, Spacetech, Healthtech, Oceantech, Fintech, and Consumer. Investment sizes typically range from Pre-Seed to Series A (500k to 10M euros), with selective backing for Series B and C rounds. Índico also integrates sustainability considerations into all investments. A significant focus is placed on ocean-related startups and SMEs with headquarters or significant operations in Portugal, aiming to support companies that can positively impact marine ecosystems and expand their global footprint. In this area, investments range from 100k to 5M Euros per company. Índico's investment philosophy centers around supporting ambitious teams with exceptional execution capabilities who are willing to partner closely with the firm. They seek businesses with substantial potential addressable markets, particularly startups that can become global category leaders. For sustainable SMEs, they look for growth potential where expansion capital can significantly increase revenues and margins.
