I have selected 3 early-stage opportunities, each at a different stage, and provided a brief analysis.
š HQ: Barcelona, Spain
š Industry: AI, Deep-tech, Enterprise
ā Stage: Pre-seed
šØ Problem: Enterprises struggle with fragmented, generic, unreliable AI solutions. Most tools look impressive in demos but fail in real-world applications.
š Solution: Timbal is the end-to-end ecosystem to build, run, manage and use enterprise-ready AI applications. Our product has 2 main parts: An open-source Python framework that helps developers build AI solutions 10 times faster, and a platform that allows you to run, train, manage, and use these AI solutions.
š± Product:
š«° Business model: Pay per use and subscription model depending on the number of apps, knowledge bases, seats and features.
šÆ Ideal Customer Profile: Companies with a technical team (external or internal) capable of using the timbal framework by themselves.
š Traction: In just 4 months, they've generated over ā¬100K in revenue and secured 9 clients, each with revenues exceeding ā¬50M, who are actively utilizing our technology.
š Market: The enterprise AI software market is estimated to be $58B in 2025, and is expected to reach $474B by 2030
š„ Marti Norberto (CEO) - Background in computer engineering and a growth hacking mindset.
š„ Isaac Grau (COO) - Telecommunications engineer and former founder of Moments/Vibras, a social app that attracted millions of users.
š„ David BergĆ©s (CTO) - Data scientist and engineer, former founder of Moments/Vibras, a social app that attracted millions of users.
š° Round: ā¬500K at ā¬3M pre-money valuation.
š HQ: Barcelona, Spain
š Industry: Fintech, Blockchain
ā Stage: Seed
šØ Problem: European retail investors struggle to access attractive fixed-income returns. Their options are largely limited to low-yield government bonds and money market funds, leaving them excluded from the higher-yield opportunities available in private credit markets.
š Solution: A simple, user-friendly platform that provides access to institutional-grade, overcollateralized private credit yields backed by digital assets.
š± Product:
š«° Business model: We monetize through a spread on total assets under management (AUM), capturing a share of the yield generated.
šÆ Ideal Customer Profile: Retail investors (B2C) in the EU with an average investment ticket above ā¬3,000.
š Traction: Over ā¬22 million in AUM and 15,000 active users. Growing at 3x annually in AUM.
š Market: The European retail investment market exceeds ā¬10 trillion in assets, with increasing demand for yield-driven products amid persistent low interest rates and inflation.
š„ Pol Martin (CEO) - Founded Rand at 19. Forbes 30 Under 30 Spain.
š„ Oriol Segundo (COO) - Serial entrepreneur and former founder of World Mastery, bringing deep operational experience and a track record of scaling digital platforms.
š° Round: ā¬2M, soft commitments received.
š HQ: Barcelona, Spain
š Industry: Fintech, data
ā Stage: Series A
šØ Problem: Document and data collection and processing for financial services' core flows is still lengthy, manual and inefficient. 63% avg drop-off in "missing documentation" and 20% of the margin goes to operational costs related to documentation and data collection.
š Solution: Permission-based technology to collect and process docs and data in real-time by directly connecting with private area of public authorities and other relevant sources.
š± Product:
š«° Business model: plans (SaaS) + usage + add-ons
šÆ Ideal Customer Profile: Financial Institutions (mid market + enterprise) such as banks, brokers, lending companies, etc.
