For founders
A private co-investment circle for principals, anchored by our own capital and opened deal by deal to a small, trusted few.
Submit your company →The idea
A fund invests money it raised from others, on a fixed mandate and timeline, so it answers to those investors and there is pressure to make each company fit the model. We invest our own capital, one deal at a time, so backing you is genuine conviction rather than a quota to fill, and many of our circle are operators who bring introductions, judgement, and access to new markets, with real depth across the world.
How it works
Share your deck and the essentials. We review every company that reaches us.
When there is conviction, our founding team anchors the round with its own capital, then opens it to the circle.
Beyond capital, you gain principals and operators who can open doors, providing valuable guidance to your company.
Focus
The science and business of a longer, healthier life, from diagnostics and clinics to consumer health.
Applied AI, where real products are changing how industries work rather than promising to.
Premium brands with durable appeal and the room to grow into new markets.
These are the areas drawing our attention today, but we are not a thesis-bound fund. Conviction can come from any sector, and the companies we back most often arrive from somewhere we were not looking. If you are building something exceptional, we want to see it, whatever the category.
Alignment
We put our own capital in first. So our conviction is never just words.
Leadership
Twenty-one years in investment banking, eight as an entrepreneur, and seventeen years leading IE University’s entrepreneurship area and Venture Lab.
The result is one of the deepest personal networks across IE’s 80,000 alumni, spanning entrepreneurs and family enterprises worldwide, with direct and trusted access to proprietary deal flow that few platforms can replicate.
Discretion by default. Everything you share with us is treated in strict confidence. We review every company privately, and never publish what we see.
