Quarterly Event: “Investment, M&A, and Private Equity Trends”

We hosted our Q3 2025 Quarterly Event at Aticco Lab in Madrid on the 9th October, 2025, bringing together our investor community to discuss Faraday’s continued evolution and a market outlook led by key voices in the investment ecosystem.

The session provided a comprehensive view of how investor sentiment, capital flows, and valuation trends are influencing Spain’s innovation and Venture landscape.

We explored how shifting macroeconomic conditions, the normalization of valuation multiples, and the rise of artificial intelligence are reshaping investment and exit dynamics across Europe.

The Fire-Side Chats with Juan Venegas (Arcano) and Álvaro Sendagorta (CVC) delivered deep insights into deal-making psychology, valuation discipline, and the convergence between Venture Capital, growth, and Private Equity—highlighting best practices for founders, investors, and fund managers navigating today’s capital environment.

We welcomed a broad range of guests from across the ecosystem.
