Abac Nest
Description
Abac Nest is a Barcelona-based venture capital firm dedicated to fostering the growth of early-stage companies within Spain. Established as a key player in the Spanish startup ecosystem, the firm primarily targets seed-stage businesses, providing crucial capital and strategic support to help them scale. Abac Nest's investment thesis centers on identifying innovative startups with strong potential for market disruption and international expansion, contributing to the vibrant entrepreneurial landscape of Southern Europe.
The firm adopts a sector-agnostic approach, though it shows a particular interest in high-growth areas such as B2B SaaS, Deep Tech, Marketplaces, Fintech, Healthtech, Proptech, and Climate Tech. Abac Nest seeks companies that demonstrate a clear product-market fit, a robust business model, and a scalable vision. Their initial investment tickets typically range from €100,000 to €500,000, reflecting their commitment to providing significant early-stage capital. This initial funding is often complemented by their capacity to participate in subsequent follow-on rounds, ensuring continued support as portfolio companies mature and raise larger Series A or B rounds.
Abac Nest operates through its first fund, Abac Nest I, which successfully closed at €10 million. This fund empowers the firm to build a diversified portfolio of promising Spanish startups, aiming to support approximately 20 to 25 companies over its investment period. Beyond capital, Abac Nest emphasizes active partnership, leveraging its network and expertise to assist founders with strategic guidance, operational challenges, and access to further funding opportunities.
