Indico Capital Partners

Índico Capital Partners grew from a conviction that Portugal, Spain and Italy have exceptional engineering talent capable of building globally significant businesses, even though their local markets are comparatively small. The firm set out to give ambitious founders capital, experience and practical support to expand internationally. Its partners and team draw on experience as both investors and entrepreneurs, including involvement in Portuguese technology success stories.

Based in Lisbon, Índico invests in technology startups and ocean-related businesses connected to Southern Europe. Its technology interests include SaaS, artificial intelligence, deep tech, space tech, health tech, fintech, consumer businesses, IoT and robotics. It typically backs companies from pre-seed through Series A, while selectively considering later-stage opportunities. Through its Blue Fund, it also supports ocean-economy startups and small and medium-sized businesses with growth potential and positive environmental impact. The firm works alongside founders on scaling their businesses and reaching international markets.
