Praetura Ventures

At Unicap Partners, we carefully examine and analyze each step that a start-up takes to succeed. However, not all start-ups are able to reach that goal. Even well-funded start-ups can struggle to grow, and initial traction may not be sustained long enough. This is where we aim to make a difference. We Are The Ecosystem For the Start-Up To Grow. We Assist You To Reach Agreed Milestones. Whether you receive investment from us or not, we provide mentoring to help you raise funds easily. Our primary focus is on investing in start-ups at the Pre-Seed, Seed, and Pre-Series A stages. However, we believe that providing support and guidance to our portfolio companies is just as important as providing funding. Our team is committed to helping you at every stage of your journey - from reaching the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) stage to defining your target market, creating an effective marketing strategy (online and offline), and raising subsequent rounds of funding, among other things.

Where visionary founders meet strategic capital. Initio Capital combines venture building expertise with strategic capital access, empowering founders to build, launch, and scale with confidence. Building a Startup Shouldn't Be This Hard Most founders face the same painful challenges that drain time, money, and energy - keeping them from focusing on what really matters: building their product and serving customers. 💸 Giving Up Too Much Equity Traditional funding forces founders to give up 20-40% equity early, losing control of their vision and future decisions. ⏰ Wasting Time on Non-Core Tasks Founders spend 70% of their time on operations, legal setup, hiring, and admin instead of product development and customer acquisition. 🏝️ Building in Isolation Without proper guidance and network, founders make costly mistakes that could be avoided with the right mentorship and community support. Everything You Need to Scale Without Giving Up Control Initio Capital provides continuous support, non-dilutive capital, and a proven operator network - all designed to help you build, launch, and scale faster while maintaining ownership. Non-Dilutive Capital First Access grants, revenue-based financing, and 0% interest credit lines before considering equity - preserving your ownership and control. Done-For-You Operations Our team handles automation, sales, hiring, finance, and product development - so you can focus on strategy and growth. Elite Founder Network Join a curated community of serious founders, proven operators, and 6,000+ investors - all committed to your success.

Phira Ventures is a Lisbon and New York based venture studio, partnering with exceptional talent to build businesses that deliver tangible value to communities and markets. We provide ideas, capital, and operational firepower to help bring a vision to life. Finding outstanding talent Find young, talented aspiring entrepreneurs who are very driven and would love to run their own business but have no good business ideas, access to capital or talent or a co-founder team. We will provide ideas (we have plenty!), capital, co-founders and an infrastructure to get a venture off the ground fast. We provide plenty of training, mentoring and an access to a network. What we expect in return? Dedication, an unshakeable will to succeed and a growth mindset. Investing in smart founders We invest in founders who already have a concept or even an existing startup but need both capital and some targeted support. E.g. in marketing, finance, legal, supply chain, software & design, product development, recruitment, international expansion or general strategy. Here we would seek to be most helpful investors on a startup's cap table. Incubate bold ideas ‍We completely incubate a venture ourselves. In some cases, we will have enough team capacity to build a business from scratch without finding a founder. We have many oven-ready ideas and have developed a lean and fast go to market strategy. We know what it takes to build We sit at the intersection of entrepreneurship and venture capital. As entrepreneurs, we know what it takes to build from the ground up: the uncertainty, the learning, the perseverance. As investors, we bring capital, structure, and a long-term view, grounded in the reality of building real companies. Investors who’ve been in the founder’s seat This dual perspective is what makes Phira different. We aim to be the most helpful investors on any cap table We don’t just advise from afar; we roll up our sleeves, apply our operational expertise, and help founders navigate the challenges we’ve faced firsthand.
