Frequently asked questions

How does Ship2B blend philanthropy and investment capital?

Ship2B uses a blended-capital model: grants and subsidized capital de-risk early-stage impact enterprises, which then attract market-rate investment through vehicles like Tiina and Scale4Impact. The foundation acts as an accelerator and platform convener, allowing donor funds and public subsidies to serve as a first-loss layer that unlocks private co-investment in startups targeting social and environmental returns.

What investment funds does Ship2B manage directly?

Ship2B operates several named vehicles. Tiina targets sustainable food and civic-engagement startups; it surpassed €1 million in deployments and committed €295,000 to four projects in 2025. The Montana fund focuses on pediatric health innovation across Europe. Scale4Impact finances social-entity transformation and provided €150,000 to Fundación GetUp and NeurekaLab. These funds invest mainly at seed and early stages in Spain.

Does Ship2B only invest in Spain, or does it deploy capital elsewhere?

Ship2B’s primary footprint is Spain, with offices in Barcelona, Bilbao, and Madrid and a portfolio dominated by Spanish startups and social entities. Through the Montana fund, it extends pediatric health investments across Europe. Its acceleration programs and systemic-investment partnerships also occasionally reach cross-border social enterprises, but Spain remains the anchor market.

Is Ship2B a family office, a foundation, or a fund manager?

Ship2B is structured as a foundation that operates investment funds, acceleration programs, and corporate-venture initiatives under a single umbrella. It is not a family office — its capital base comes from partners, donors, and public sources rather than a single family's wealth. The entity behaves like an impact platform that combines grantmaking with direct equity investments through its own vehicles.

What kinds of impact does Ship2B measure and report?

Ship2B publishes an annual impact report tied to its Ship2B Impact Forum. The foundation tracks startups accelerated, social entities transformed, corporations accompanied, and financing mobilized. Its reporting emphasizes systemic outcomes — how the enterprises it backs contribute to solving social and environmental challenges — rather than purely financial metrics, though fund-level investment performance is separately tracked.
