What Iberis Capital does

Iberis Capital (legal name: Iberis Semper, Sociedade de Capital de Risco, S.A.) is a Portuguese private equity and venture capital fund manager founded in 2017 and headquartered in Lisbon, with a secondary office in Porto. The firm manages more than €600 million in Assets Under Management across four investment strategies: Growth and Buyout (event-driven investments in Portuguese mid-market companies with €2M–€10M EBITDA), Venture Capital (technology founder partnerships with early-to-growth-stage companies), Sustainable Investments (asset-backed companies in forestry, agriculture, and sustainable energy, including the Article 9 Greentech II Fund), and Yielding Investments (asset-backed companies with stable cash flow). The core fund vehicles include Greytech III (€3M–€12M tickets), Greentech II (sustainable forest), and the Greytech Co-Investment Fund, alongside Golden Visa-eligible funds requiring €500,000 minimum commitments for non-EU nationals seeking Portuguese residency.

The firm is 100% partner-owned under a one-partner-one-vote governance structure, with the majority of partners' personal net worth invested in Iberis funds. Revenue is generated through management fees on AuM across multiple fund vehicles, supplemented by carried interest on funds targeting above-15% IRR. The investor base exceeds 1,300 institutional, corporate, financial, and private investors across more than 50 countries, with no single LP exceeding 10% of AuM. The team grew from 14 (2020) to 22 (2023) and is recruited from top-tier programs at Harvard, MIT Sloan, INSEAD, Nova SBE, and Católica, with senior leadership backgrounds at Bain, BCG, Vodafone Group, KPMG, and Oxy Capital.

Distribution combines direct investor-relations outreach by a dedicated fundraising team, an investor portal (investorsfront.iberis.mscope.tech), website-led content marketing, and partnerships with immigration lawyers for Golden Visa processing. Iberis's portfolio includes notable positions in TEKEVER (Europe's latest defence-tech unicorn), Bolttech ($2.1B-valued insurtech), CorPower Ocean (€53M Series B), and CarboCode (€15M Series C, led by Iberis), alongside traditional mid-market Portuguese SMEs across industry, forestry, energy, ceramics, and engineering.
