Overview

Angels Capital is the investment company of Juan Roig, who took over the management of the Mercadona supermarket chain in 1981. Its timeline says Angels was created in 2008 to invest in industrial companies, pivoted to startups in 2014, joined the Marina de Empresas hub in Valencia with Lanzadera and EDEM in 2015, and in 2020 came under general director Pepe Peris, who integrated all of Marina de Empresas' investment activity and opened participation to other startup-focused investors. It reports more than €40M invested in over 70 companies, an average initial ticket of about €200,000 for roughly 7% of equity, participation in pre-seed and Series A rounds with follow-on capacity, and it states that it only invests in projects that have gone through Marina de Empresas. Its portfolio page lists Internxt, Codigames, CoCircular and Citring among current holdings, Afterbanks and Sothis among exits, and two funds, Biozell Fund and LifeX Ventures Fund.
