Jose Martin Cabiedes, Managing Director at Cabiedes & Partners, Madrid, Madrid, Spain — verified investor profile. See contact routes.
José Martín Cabiedes is the Founder and Managing Partner of Cabiedes & Partners, a Spanish venture capital firm he established in 1998, and he also serves as a Senior Lecturer in Entrepreneurship at IESE Business School. His firm historically focused on seed and early-stage investments in internet and technology startups primarily within Spain, targeting sectors like e-commerce and digital media. Typical check sizes were modest, consistent with a small fund of approximately €25–30 million, and the firm frequently led investment rounds in its target companies. Notable portfolio companies include BlaBlaCar, Trovit, Privalia, and Ole.com, which achieved significant exits. Cabiedes has publicly argued that innovation alone is irrelevant without a competitive strategy and that the risk of investing as a business angel is now 20 times higher than a decade ago. In recent years, he shifted the firm’s focus away from tech startups toward traditional industrial companies with positive cash flow and dividend potential, citing lower success probabilities in large-tech rounds.
