New year, new brand. If you’re reading this article or you’ve landed recently on our website scouting through our portfolio, you may have noticed a different look and feel. Yes, we’ve been through a rebranding (and we want you to know why)!
Our Reasons for Rebranding
Companies, and this includes VCs of course, rebrand for different reasons. It could be as a result of a merger and acquisition, to get away from a reputation crisis, to attract broad attention… Think of X (former Twitter), perhaps the reason for the change includes a little bit of these three motives.
That is not the case for GoHub Ventures’ rebranding. We want to set the beginning of a new era on our fund and to accomplish this we evolved our brand. Here are the key points behind our rebranding:
- We were born within the water utility company Global Omnium group and this caused the impression that we were only interested in water-related solutions, especially when having a logo that included a drop… Today, GoHub Ventures invests in early-stage founders changing the future of healthcare and the way businesses run across Europe, the U.S. and Latin America.
- We want to situate founders at the very front of our success. They are the leading figures and the reason why we exist, that’s why our culture revolves around the motto ‘We don’t change the world, our founders do’. We like to call ourselves the believers behind the believers because at some point we all needed someone to believe in us when nobody else did. That is the image we want to transmit to our founders.
- A renewed commitment with sustainability in the best way we know, through innovation. We’re working on a new cutting-edge space located in Benicasim (Castellón, Spain) where technology, innovation and sustainability coexist: Bellver Blue Tech Zone.
Our Values
- Tech-Savvy. We have successfully developed and implemented technological solutions around the world, granting us a clear vision on how to make this happen and how not to make this happen too. We will pass on these insights to you, sparing you unnecessary hurdles.
- Trustful. We will equip you with the necessary tools, connections, know-how, and expertise to develop your business plan while keeping a very straightforward approach. We won’t tiptoe around delicate issues as our ultimate goal is to see you succeed, just as much as you do.
- Connected. As a VC firm with deep roost in a global business group, we’ve built an extensive network that reaches far beyond the venture capital ecosystem. Our aim is to assist you in cultivating strong partnerships with other corporations to create synergies that not only benefit our own relationship but also add strategic value to your business.
- Committed. We are surrounded by enablers. A handpicked group of tech-leading professionals at your disposal ready to assist you in forging key partnerships, expanding into international markets, and providing deep insights into the world of technology, business and investment on a global scale.
- Forward-Thinking. We back startups building at the frontier of technology, from applied AI to dual-use tech, in verticals such as digital health and B2B software.
- Sustainable. We are conscious about the importance of working towards a more sustainable future, firmly believing that technology is the cornerstone to build a better world. That is why we actively consider startups that align with this mindset.
And what a better way to usher in this new era and these new values than during our most special annual event, GoHub Ventures Founders Day? On October 25th, we gathered our portfolio startups and some investor friends at Masia Bellver for a catch up session where they got a scoop on GoHub Ventures’ rebranding and our redefined focus going forward.
Our Fund
GoHub Ventures Fund II, regulated by Spain’s CNMV, is fueled with €60 million aimed at investing in early-stage startups building digital health and B2B software solutions.
When deciding whether to invest or to not in a startup, we pay special attention to the team, the commercial traction, and the founders’ vision. Regarding size and location of the startup applicants, we consider companies from Pre-Seed to Seed, across Europe, the U.S. and Latin America.
We kindly invite you to have a look at our new brand website, discover our approach, portfolio and encourage you to get in touch!
