Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Seed&Click?
Juan Alvarez de Lara is the only named principal on the firm's website, and he appears as the author of all public-facing investment and program communications. The firm does not publish an investment committee, IC delegation, or biographies of additional investment professionals. Decisions for the co-managed IEF Angels Network likely involve IEF foundation counterparts, though specific governance is not disclosed.
How is the Origen Ventures Fund structured?
The firm's website describes Origen Ventures Fund as a Venture Capital Impact Fund focused on technology transfer, meaning it aims to spin innovation out of universities and research centers into commercial startups. Specifics — fund size, vintage year, limited partners, fee structure, and target sectors — are not published. The 'impact' label is stated but not defined by any third-party framework on the site.
Does Seed&Click invest off its own balance sheet or only through its managed vehicles?
Seed&Click does not publicly clarify whether it makes principal investments from a proprietary balance sheet alongside the IEF Angels Network and Origen Ventures Fund. The firm is presented as an asset manager and platform, but any co-investment capital from Alvarez de Lara or the operating company is unconfirmed.
What is Seed&Click's relationship with the 4YFN Awards?
Seed&Click acts as the manager of the 4YFN Awards, a startup competition embedded in the Mobile World Congress ecosystem. The firm's website states it organizes 'high impact events with international visibility,' and the 4YFN mandate gives it a direct pipeline to early-stage companies that apply through the awards process. This relationship is the most tangible evidence of the firm's origination capability.
Which sectors does Seed&Click explicitly back?
The firm's investment vehicles are described as targeting 'tech impact startups in all sectors,' with no stated exclusions. Event-specific calls, such as the NauticTech challenge, suggest an opportunistic focus on verticals like blue economy and fashion technology, but the firm does not publish a formal sector-allocation or restriction policy.
