I have chosen 2 investment opportunities, one of which is less tech-focused, and provided a brief analysis:
📍 HQ: Madrid, Spain
🏭 Industry: B2B SaaS, E-commerce
☘ Stage: Pre-Seed
🚨 Problem: Online stores and their tools (search engines, chats, etc.) work with static content and fragment the customer journey, creating broken shopping experiences that are saturated with content and not very useful; making it difficult for customers to make their purchase decision.
🔛 Solution: Enso enables e-commerce brands to create a curated and personalized version of their website for each visitor, making it easier to decide what to buy. Think of it as having a top copywriter, designer, and product expert creating a unique e-commerce website for each visitor on the fly.
📱 Product:
🫰 Business model: Subscription fee and usage-based fees
🎯 Ideal Customer Profile: Medium and large e-commerce businesses with over $10M in online sales.
📊 Traction: Launching paid pilots (€12K ARR) with medium and enterprise customers.
🏚 Market: Estimated at $38.2 billion, based on the projected value that generative AI can add to e-commerce revenue growth in the U.S. and European markets.
👥 Jose García Vidal (CEO) - 3x founder. 9 years in Product in B2B SaaS, 5 of them software for e-commerce businesses.
👥 Cristian Pinto (CTO) - 9 years in the tech industry, 4 of them as the CTO of ThePowerMBA and Clikalia, managing teams of up to 30 developers.
💰 Round: €500K pre-seed round, some Angels secured.
📍 HQ: Barcelona, Spain
🏭 Industry: Mental Health
☘ Stage: Seed
🚨 Problem: Mental health disorders and suicides in young people have increased by 150% in recent years while in Spain there are 67% fewer psychologists than the European average and waiting lists in social security for the first visit to a psychologist over 6 months.
🔛 Solution: The 1st Chain of Psychology Centers in Spain, with its own centers and the best psychologists to offer quality psychotherapy sessions and homogeneously throughout the country.
📱 Product: Psychology Centers with the best psychologists who offer psychotherapy for all age ranges and most mental disorders.
🫰 Business model: Private and mutual psychotherapy visits.
🎯 Ideal Customer Profile: Adults with non-serious mental disorders and sufficient income to be able to undertake psychotherapy.
📊 Traction: €345k in 2023 and €1M expected in 2024. 9 Centers open in Catalonia and Zaragoza.
🏚 Market: The global market size of the mental health industry is estimated to reach $240 billion by 2026.
👥 Maurici Badia (CEO) - Founder of Hannun, a digital native virtual brand that did the IPO in Jun-22 at €30M valuation. Expert in business growth and digitalization.
👥 Merce Torguet (Director) - Director of the Center, with more than 25 years of experience as a clinical psychologist. Expert in training psychologists.
💰 Round: €500k seed round, some Angels committed.
