Veos Ventures is a, Madrid based, unique disruptive ideas accelerator and incubation company that invests in pre-seed early-stage ideas, matures them for early out-licensing or sale. Our goal is to help our portfolio companies mature their ideas and products enough to merit out-licensing and/or sale to a larger player in a short period of time. The extensive expertise of the founding members in public and private fund raising, research development, out-licensing and M&As allows us to make decision faster and mature our investments at a much faster pace than most firms. We help entrepreneurs at their pre-seed / seed venture stage as this is their most difficult phase of their business. Even though we utilize many of the early-stage Venture Capital companiesโ€™ methodologies, evaluations and due diligence are made at the founding members level for a faster investment decision. Veos Ventures works closely with many companies and entities looking to in-license or acquire the right technology or product. Our unique model allows for a faster exit and return on investment. We fund, mentor, co-manage and assist with the exit strategy. We work closely with many European and American industry accelerators, and angel investor groups. In addition, our GPs are LPs/Advisors to a group of specialty early-stage VCs, members of angel network groups allowing us to connect our VC partners and angel network groups to support/lead the companies we work with. We get involved in ideas and products that meet the minimum viable product (MVP) threshold and are focused on: - Healthcare & Wellness - Pharmaceuticals and MedTech - Cosmetics - Natural Products - Shared Mobility - BioStimulants and Agri-Technologies - Renewable Energy
