Acerca de Javier

I am a Venture Capital professional with 9+ years of hands-on investment experience in Deep Tech startups and more than 20 years of background in technology, R&D and innovation funding.

I have led the full investment cycle: sourcing, screening, due diligence, investment committee preparation, deal structuring and active portfolio management. I have managed Corporate VC funds with over €65M AUM, working closely with corporate innovation and strategy teams.

Throughout my career, I have participated in 40+ transactions across enterprise software, networking, cybersecurity, fintech, mobility, digital health and advanced technologies. I have served as Board Director and Board Observer in multiple portfolio companies, actively supporting:

. International scaling strategies
. Fundraising structuring and negotiation
. Financial planning and business model refinement
. Corporate partnerships and commercial development
. European public funding proposals (H2020 and others)

My key differentiator is a unique combination of technical depth (Telecommunications Engineer) and investment expertise. I understand technology at its core and translate it into scalable, investable business models.

I collaborate with VC funds, Corporate Venture units and Deep Tech startups looking to strengthen their investment processes, improve deal flow quality or accelerate high-potential technology companies.

If you are looking for a VC professional with technical DNA, strategic judgment and real board-level experience, let’s work together.
