Faraday Venture Partners receives CFI Award for Best Start-Up Investment Strategy in Europe 2023

Faraday Venture Partners, a European Venture Capital Fund Management firm with more than 10 years of investment activity in innovative start-ups, has been recognized for its exceptional performance with the 2023 award for Best Start-Up Investment Strategy in Europe by CFI.co.

 

Founded in 2011, Faraday Venture Partners has firmly established its presence in Spain, Benelux, and Germany. The firm's success is attributed to its diverse and multidisciplinary team of professionals and their ability to leverage local expertise, which has helped them cultivate a robust network, opening doors and unlocking growth opportunities for start-ups.

 

Faraday Venture Partners focuses on early-stage start-ups with market-proven business models, committed leadership teams, and demonstrable revenue generation. Recent investee companies include: Sepiia, a smart stain-repellent fashion brand with 100% recycled and recyclable fabrics, and Smartvel, a B2B SaaS technology company specialising in destination content solutions for the travel industry.

 

One distinguishing feature of Faraday's service offering is its commitment to provide access to Venture Capital investing for all investors. The firm offers something for everyone: you can become a Club Partner, invest from €2,000 in the start-ups of your choice and create your own portfolio. Simultaneously, you can invest via its fund-model. Faraday Europa I, the firm’s flagship fund closed with a volume of € 36M and was recognized by Fond-ICO Global as one of the best early-stage investment vehicles in Spain. The fund is currently finalizing its portfolio composition phase and is already showing very strong commercial traction. Due to the success of the firm’s first fund, the company is launching a second vehicle, Faraday Europa II, with a target volume of € 40M. Fund II pursues the same successful investment strategy and counts on the support of a highly qualified investment committee composed of entrepreneurs and ESG experts. The fund’s stand-out feature is its minimum commitment of €25,000, allowing investors with more limited investment capacity access to the Venture Capital investment space. Fund II is currently in its pre-commercialisation phase, to receive more information please contact: info@faradayvp.com.

 

Gonzalo Tradacete, CFA, founder of Faraday and Chief Investment Officer, adds: "This is an ideal time for Venture Capital investment, and in particular for investment in the early stages of highly innovative European companies. We believe that Europe will continue to grow in influence and will continue to play an integral role in Venture Capital over the next decade, creating successful start-ups with a common denominator: a strong capability to replicate their business model in other markets. Faraday Europa II aims to leverage this environment while contributing to the success of its investee companies by providing early-stage commercial solutions to realise their potential. Our fund model together with our Club activity in Spain, Benelux and Germany generates exceptionally strong synergies particularly valued by our Partners and Limited Partners."
