Notable quotes
“The first investments are lined up in photonic chips, analog chip design, and synthetic biology.”
“We've been historically countercyclical, so we found that startups came to, and appears in Iberia back in 2012/2013. This time around mid-2020, we're very bullish on what we can do for the entrepreneurial engine of the economy. We see a lot happening — especially around our thesis — which is basically the data stack, all things data AI-driven, machine learning, data science.”
“We've seen first-time, but also second and third-time entrepreneurs coming over to Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid and experimenting with their next startup and considering starting-up from Iberia in the first place.”
