New venture capital funds for the ICT and real estate sectors

Lean Investment launches ICT debt fund

Lean Investment, con sede en Barcelona nace para  invertir entre 25.000 euros y 100.000€ empresas de base tecnológica, especialmente de software, tomando una participación minoritaria.

El elemento diferenciador de este nuevo fondo es que  sus inversiones se canalizarán mediante créditos convertibles en acciones (venture debt).

Además el  vehículo busca ir más allá, dando apoyo a los emprendedores a través de la mentorización. "Estamos a medio camino entre el crowdfunding y las redes de business angels", afirma Font, uno de los socios fundadores de Lean Investment.

In its first year of life, Lean Investment has proposed to invest between eight and ten start-ups, both in Spain and abroad.

New European ICT fund: Lakestar II

Lakestar entra fuerte en el mercado europeo con un nuevo capital de riesgo, Lakestar II, de €350M,  convirtiéndose en uno de los más grandes en Europa.

El fondo realizará rondas de financiación semilla y de serie A  y estará abierto a un amplio abanico de sectores dentro del mundo de las tics.

“Lakestar se une  así a otros fondos europeos como Accel Partners, Atomico e Index Ventures that are proving very successful. Accel has already announced a new $475 million fund for Europe and Israel, while Atomico has raised $476 million," says Diego Gutierrez of Abra-Invest.

Today, thanks to the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Europe, there are several market-leading technology companies. In addition, there are changes in the way the most promising startups access funding. Whereas a few years ago, the means to grow was to go public or go public, nowadays the biggest players are seeking private funding at the later stages of their development, providing opportunities for investments with strong returns.

Meridia III, new real estate fund

Meridia CapitalJavier Faus' fund, is preparing Meridia III, its third real estate investment fund, which will be launched in autumn and will be the largest real estate fund in Spain, with up to €600M.

The former Barça vice-president's fund will be set up with €250m and investors will be able to contribute up to €600m, which the group will have at its disposal as it makes investments and requires them.

Meridia Capital has specialised in investing in commercial premises and offices, in some cases for conversion into hotels. The most important was in March, when it closed the purchase of 11 buildings of General Electric's real estate portfolio in Barcelona and Madrid. The transaction cost €100 million.

Technology Data Analytics
for M&A
Advanced data anlytics is a weapon". Intelfin is an artificial intelligence tool we use for investing and creating value in SMEs through competitive analytics and the enterprise environment.

IntelFin consists of a cognitive system, which, through the application of advanced analytical technologies, facilitates the automation of investment and financing decisions in the field of non-listed companies and especially SMEs in high-growth sectors.

The information related to these companies is characterized by their lack of transparency and heterogeneity; thus, it is necessary to develop an advanced analysis which is as much predictive as prescriptive and is developed in a natural language custom, suitable to obtain greater clarity and knowledge of the investment scope.

The IntelFin system focuses especially on analyzing the variables that define and influence the competitive environment of a sector and the positioning of a company, analyzing their influence on future value creation. Therefore, IntelFin supports strategic decision-making to senior management by resolving questions such as:

¿What are my competitors' priorities, strategies and expansion plans? Who's my competition? Which competitor is most likely to grow at a higher rate?
Which areas of activity/business models will receive the most investment? Which sectors are most attractive to investors?
Which companies are going to experience the most growth in the near future? Which companies are most likely to receive investment or be acquired?

We have developed training programs in an innovative set-up which guarantees our teams the acquisition of technical competences both in the field of corporate finance and in the field of psychology, that is much needed when it comes to negotiation processes.
