Founder-First Capital for Early-Stage Growth

Beyond Capital: Candid Dialogue, Clear Insights

Sendero Ventures is a Madrid-based early-stage investor backing exceptional founding teams at pre-seed (and selectively seed). We take concentrated positions and stay close post-investment—offering strategic guidance, surfacing blind spots, and being a constructive sparring partner on the path to durable, capital-efficient growth.

Investing in Future Innovators

We Look For:

• Spectacular founding teams: Integrity, excellence in execution, and clear insight into the industry are essential.

• Sector-agnostic: We invest wherever great talent is building real value.

• Capital-efficient growth: Preference for thoughtful burn and pragmatic scaling.

How We Work With Founders:

We engage founders with honesty, challenge, and support - while giving them the freedom to lead. Our principles are simple:

Stand back - let you lead.

You run the company; we respect founder autonomy.

Stay close - ongoing dialogue

Regular, constructive conversations: strategy, hiring, pricing, fundraising, and unknowns.

We bring connections, experience, and resources to help whenever it moves the needle.

Lean in - open our leverage.

Raise the flag - early and candid.

If we see risk or drift, we surface it fast and work the problem together.
