Mouro Capital

Profile

Mouro Capital is a venture capital firm investing in the future of financial services. With $400m in assets under management, we back ambitious entrepreneurs leading early to growth stage businesses across Europe, North America, and Latin America. Like our namesake Mouro Island, whose lighthouse acts as a beacon for travelers to the Bay of Santander in Northern Spain, we help guide teams as they build the businesses that transform the financial sector.

We take a broad view to the future of financial services, looking even beyond today’s industry boundaries. We ask ourselves fundamental questions and build strong theses around topics we are passionate about while keeping an open mind to new ideas that challenge our beliefs.

Better processes.
How can we bring automation and real-time applications into banking infrastructure?

Alternative delivery.
How can banking services be delivered through APIs? How can finance be embedded in third-party journeys?

New client propositions.
What new client value propositions are emerging in developed and developing markets?

Technology shift.
How are novel technologies and new engineering paradigms (artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing) changing how we bank?

Digital crossovers.
What new enterprise solutions and emerging platforms will be the gateway to tomorrow’s financial services?

Industry boundaries reinvented.
How can industries be more integrated and converge into new white spaces fuelled by finance? What is the role of money in a data-rich world?

How we invest


We know how hard it is to change an industry as complex as financial services, so our investment style is flexible and adapts to each opportunity to best support you. We look for ambitious entrepreneurs, bold visions and relentless execution skills able to deliver industry-defining companies. If that describes you, get in touch.

Driven by what we believe in
We act on what we value for ourselves, our families and our communities: a sustainable world, in which everyone can access and enjoy the benefits of progress.

Our ESG approach
Our commitment is driven by three interconnected ambitions: ​

Mouro Capital as an ESG compliant fund​
To be accountable for applying our own ESG values and policies.

Inspiring and supporting our portfolio companies and our community
To give hands-on support to our portfolio companies as they develop and implement ESG principles and policies.

Looking for impact investment opportunities ​
To scout for the most promising startups that will make a positive impact​.

Our values in action
Promotion diversity & inclusion We believe that our decisions are made better by having broad input to them. And when our actions bear fruit, we believe everyone should enjoy their fair share of the benefits.
Managing sustainability​Our success shouldn’t come at someone else’s expense, so we put the environment, social impact and good governance front and centre in our investment decisions and help our portfolio do the same. We have remained carbon neutral since our launch.
Enshrining mental health We know that breaking new ground as an entrepreneur can be a lonely pursuit and puts people under immense pressure, so we believe it’s our job as a team to look after our innovators, co-investors and each other.
Our Impact Investing approach​
We recognise significant untapped opportunity in areas where financial and technology innovation can drive positive impact. We are particularly excited to hear from companies that:

Steer allocation of capital to environmental and sustainability initiatives
Empower solopreneurs and small business owners to thrive
Build new platforms powering the sharing and circular economy
