Direct peers

• Samaipata: Madrid-based early-stage VC investing across Europe with a multi-sector tech thesis and active operational support to founders. Highly comparable as a southern European Seed/Series A tech investor with a hands-on model.
• Kibo Ventures: Spain-headquartered early- and growth-stage VC investing in Spanish and international tech companies. Closely comparable geography, stage focus, and sector breadth to JOTA2's Iberian-anchored portfolio.
• LocalGlobe: UK Seed-stage VC investing across multiple tech verticals with active founder support. Comparable stage focus and multi-sector approach, particularly through the London office overlap.
• Notion Capital: London-based VC focused on European B2B software and fintech startups. Comparable geography and stage, with overlap on fintech portfolio companies (e.g., Mercury TFS, Tickendy, Yalla Payments).
• Btov Partners: European early-stage VC with offices across DACH and broader Europe. Comparable cross-border Seed/Series A model and operational support approach, though concentrated more in DACH markets.

Broad incumbents

• Speedinvest: European early-stage tech VC with multiple sector-focused funds and larger AUM than JOTA2. Comparable as a pan-European Seed/Series A tech investor, though materially larger and more sector-organized.
• Balderton Capital: London-based early- and growth-stage European tech VC. Comparable given overlapping UK/Iberian footprint and Seed/Series A focus, though Balderton operates at a much larger fund scale.
• Earlybird Venture Capital: Pan-European early-stage VC investing in tech across multiple European geographies. Comparable cross-border Seed/Series A model, though with a longer track record and larger fund sizes.
• Atomico: London-headquartered European tech VC founded by Skype's Niklas Zennström. Comparable in cross-border European tech investing with operational founder support, though at significantly larger AUM scale.

Emerging players

• FJ Labs: US/global early-stage VC with broad sector exposure across marketplaces, fintech, and frontier tech. Comparable diversified Seed/Series A portfolio model, though primarily US-anchored.
