One-liner: a Madrid-based seed-stage Spanish tech VC active in the Valencia ecosystem — €100k–€3M tickets (typically €0.5–2M), €120M+ AUM across 4 funds since 2012, 70+ portfolio startups, positioned on speed/transparency and founder-first process.
What a founder gets
- Seed-stage capital, €100k–€3M per round (sweet spot €0.5–2M) — one of the larger-ticket seed funds a Valencia founder can reach nationally.
- Access & credibility — self-described as "seed stage investors in some of Spain's biggest success stories," with 70+ portfolio companies and co-investment relationships with leading international investors/operators.
- Fast, transparent process — explicitly markets speed and clarity over a long diligence slog.
- Empowerment, not interference — hands-off governance model; support offered only when sought, not imposed board control.
Who it's for
- Seed and early-stage Spanish tech startups (sector-agnostic within tech) with a strong founding team — not pre-team/idea-stage; not a generalist growth/scale fund.
- Not Valencia-specific (Madrid HQ), but an active co-investor in the wider Spanish/Valencian ecosystem alongside other regional players (per ecosystem-mapping research, listed among the private VC/angel layer next to BigBan Inversores, Conexo Ventures, Zubi Capital).
How to engage
- Apply / pitch via jme.vc — "Contact" and "Investors" pages; standard pitch-deck submission route.
- No public open call/deadline — rolling, direct-to-fund approach typical of a VC (not a grant program).
Key facts
- Founded 2012; investing €0.5–2M per round historically, across 4 funds and €120M+ total AUM.
- RESOLVED 2026-07-05 (was #status/verify): JME Ventures operates 4 funds, not 3. The site's summary sentence ("...across 3 funds") is stale marketing copy that was never updated after Fund IV launched — but the same page's own portfolio grid explicitly tags investments by fund, and multiple 2024-dated active investments (QuiverAI, Pensero, XRF, Equixly, TietAI, Rauda, Altan, TolemyBio) are labeled "Fund IV (2024)" in that live data. Fund timeline confirmed from the portfolio facet: Fund I (2012) — e.g. Flywire, Jobandtalent (both exited); Fund II (2016) — e.g. Voi, Lingokids, Genially, Ironhack, ODILO, IriusRisk, Atani; Fund III (2020) — e.g. Flanks, Reveni; Fund IV (2024) — e.g. QuiverAI, Pensero, XRF, Equixly, TietAI, Rauda, Altan, TolemyBio. Independent web-search corroboration (third-party sources) also describes JME as managing "over €120 million across four funds, with Fund IV launched in 2024." Treat 4 funds as the ground truth; the prior "3 funds" reading came from taking the homepage prose at face value without cross-checking the portfolio data.
- Team (per site, 2026, unchanged): Samuel Gil — CEO & General Partner; Lourdes Álvarez de Toledo — Partner; Ivan Landabaso — Partner; Pepe Vilanova — Principal; Jordi Noguera — Associate; Jaime Santamaria — CFO.
- Portfolio count: 70+ startups invested (site claim, not independently itemized here); representative names spread across all 4 funds as listed above.
