Philosophy

Encomenda Smart CapitalThe Super Angel Fund

As Business Angels we have invested in the last 10 years in more than 100 early-seed startups, helping them in their critical business areas. Due to the excellent results from our investments, we wanted to go a step further and create Encomenda Smart Capital: a Super Angel Fund where we can invest more resources but with the same philosophy we had while being Business Angels.

 

Encomenda Smart Capital invests in early-seed digital startups based mainly in Spain. Our initial investment ranges from 70K€ to 300K€, with follow-on investments of up to 1M€ per company. Additionally, we provide our know-how and network to help entrepreneurs in making strategic decisions, scaling their companies, creating new business opportunities and preparing the companies for international funding rounds.
