What Moira Capital Partners does

Moira Capital Partners is a Madrid-based private equity and venture capital firm founded in 2017. Incorporated in Spain as MOIRA CAPITAL PARTNERS, SGEIC, S.A., the firm operates as a regulated entity authorized by the Spanish Securities Market Commission (CNMV) under official registration number 125. The firm pursues a focused, hands-on investment approach targeting innovative companies in the real economy, deploying equity tickets of €5-25 million per target company across four defined verticals: Health Science & Tech, Food & Agro Science & Tech, Sustainability & Circular Economy, and The Digital Revolution. Since inception, Moira has committed more than €300 million to investments through a network of at least 10 closed-end investment vehicles (FCREs) including MCD Ji, Lambda, Omega, Phi, Tau Bis, Kappa Ter, Enzo Ventures II, and Crillon funds.

The business model centers on deal-by-deal financing with no fees charged to investors until investments are materialized, differentiating the firm from traditional fund-committed VC structures. Returns are driven by equity stakes in portfolio companies rather than management fees alone, with the firm targeting returns above 5x Cost of Capital and a 50% dividend payout target from the third year onward. Moira structures investments without leverage and prioritizes industrial and business risk over financial risk, while maintaining an active approach with close support for portfolio company execution of business plans over a 5-10 year investment horizon. The senior team is led by Chairman Javier Loizaga alongside Partners Sebastián Cerezo, Javier Elosua, and Jaime Domínguez-Mompell.

The portfolio comprises more than 20 innovative companies spanning sectors such as circular economy and waste valorisation (GreenE), insect proteins for animal nutrition (BioFlyTech), enhanced reality software for process industries (Voovio), surgical planning technology (Cella), neurorehabilitation and cognitive recovery (NeuronUp), water disinfection (Geodesic), microalgae-based agricultural solutions (Biorizon Biotech), energy quality (IEQSY), legal platforms (Eskariam), and logistics (Logi). Recent strategic activity includes the November 2025 backing of LUDA Partners to develop AI solutions for pharmacies and expand into Ireland and the UK, signaling active cross-border deployment and selective exposure to AI-enabled product categories within the portfolio.
