Beta Capital

Beta Capital is a private, independent venture capital firm founded in 2003 and based in Porto, Portugal. It invests in innovative, technology-based start-ups and early-stage companies, with a sector-agnostic approach: the firm applies no restriction to a single industry and evaluates opportunities on the merits of the technology and the market it addresses.

Typical investment amounts range from €250,000 to €1 million per company. Beta Capital can lead syndicated rounds or co-invest alongside other investors, and works with founders and its investor network to help secure follow-on financing as portfolio companies develop.

The firm's stated investment criteria centre on three elements - people, technology, and market potential - with a particular interest in ambitious, skilled founders building disruptive technologies that address unmet needs. In portfolio companies, Beta Capital combines funding with hands-on advisory support while leaving day-to-day operations and company management to the founding teams.
