At Swanlaab Venture Factory, our purpose and DNA are deeply rooted in acting like entrepreneurs who drive tech innovation and sustainable growth. We are a venture factory that invests in the best Spanish deep technology & agri-food startups, providing unique funding and a company-building approach to accelerate success while minimizing and controlling risk. Our investment thesis began by backing early-stage B2B deep tech companies in Spain, providing initial capital and continuing our support through subsequent rounds until a successful exit. As we observed Spain’s ecosystem, we identified a significant opportunity in agrifood technology innovation and applied the same approach—helping to build companies with capital, know-how, and structured methodologies. Expanding our scope further, we entered the world of search funds, where we don’t invest in startups but rather in exceptional individuals with the right qualifications and leadership skills to acquire and scale mid-sized businesses. These companies often face challenges in growth, digital transformation, and technological adoption, and we help them evolve and reach the next level. At Swanlaab, our mission is to be the partner of choice for entrepreneurs scaling deep tech and agrifood tech companies. We operate as an international multidisciplinary team, combining deep expertise in software technology, agrifoodtech, and mid-sized business ventures with cross-functional knowledge in finance, talent management, compliance, business development, and go-to-market strategy. Each project is led by one of our dedicated partners, supported by the full breadth of our team’s investment and management expertise. We don’t just invest—we build, support, and scale companies, creating long-term value for both entrepreneurs and investors.
