Seaya Ventures

Beatriz González, the founder and Managing Partner, leads the firm's investment committee and strategy. She is joined by General Partner Aristóteles Moutafidis, who focuses on climate-tech and mobility. The tight partnership structure means decisions are centralized, not distributed across regional teams — both European and Latin American investments flow through the same committee.

Seaya's origination leans on González's early entrenchment in the Spanish tech ecosystem, which incubated before most institutional venture arrived. The firm's climate fund convening power — anchored by Ingka Investments and the European Investment Fund — also surfaces pre-institutional opportunities in electrification and circular economy. In Latin America, the Mexico City office provides a local foothold that scouts Series A-ready companies needing a later-stage partner for regional expansion.

Seaya is a pure venture capital asset manager, not a family office. It runs a series of blind-pool venture funds raised from institutional LPs, including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and corporate investors. It does not manage a single-family balance sheet and has no single wealth-origin backer.

Seaya primarily invests directly into companies, leading or co-leading rounds from seed to Series C. The firm does not operate a fund-of-funds program. While it co-invests alongside other venture managers, its capital is deployed almost exclusively as a direct lead or co-lead rather than as an LP in third-party funds.

Seaya spans seed through Series C, with a heavier concentration at Series A and B where its check size and Iberian-Latin American bridge thesis are most differentiated. The 2023 climate fund maintained this multi-stage approach but added a specific mandate for capital-intensive sectors like electrification and industrial decarbonization that often require larger initial commitments.

Seaya has not publicly excluded any specific sectors, but its portfolio shows no significant positions in life sciences, hardware, or aerospace. The absence suggests a deliberate focus on software-centric and marketplace models, with the climate fund extending into asset-heavy sustainability but still anchored to software-defined climate technologies.

Seaya's LP base includes the European Investment Fund and Ingka Investments (the investment arm of IKEA), both of which committed to the Andromeda Climate Fund. These relationships give Seaya a regulatory and corporate lens that influences diligence depth and portfolio company governance expectations. González's 2023 appointment to the European Innovation Council board solidifies the firm's position at the intersection of policy and venture deployment.
