About us
Kibo Ventures was born in 2012 in Madrid (Spain) with the mission of empowering diverse European tech entrepreneurs to solve big problems and helping them scale.
Our team is a combination of operational and investment experts with deep international networks in Europe and US including some of the best founders, investors and corporates. Since 2012, we have built one of the largest tech investment teams in Southern Europe.
Our team and investors are committed to impact, diversity and believe in driving global positive impact while achieving top returns. We include social and environmental criteria in our investments.
Recently Kibo Ventures launched Nzyme, a private equity fund that supports exceptional teams to innovate and grow their entrepreneurial ventures. Just as enzymes do in living organisms, our goal is to accelerate transformation and to facilitate the integration of companies to create market-leading businesses.
