Vibe Capital Partners

What Vibe Capital Partners does

Vibe Capital Partners (legal entity Vibecap, SCR, S.A.) is an Iberian private equity firm headquartered in Algés, Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal, regulated by the CMVM. The firm acquires and actively manages small and medium-sized enterprises in Portugal and Spain, partnering with management teams on operational improvement, internationalisation, strategic repositioning, bolt-on acquisitions, and market consolidation. Its single disclosed investment vehicle is Vibe Capital I, Fundo de Capital de Risco Fechado, a closed-end venture capital fund classified under SFDR Article 8 that promotes environmental and social characteristics.

The firm's go-to-market is relationship-driven and proprietary: partners source deals through a deep Iberian network built across decades in private equity and management consulting, working directly with management teams rather than competing in open-market processes. Following acquisition, the firm takes board seats, supports management, and deploys its full network through to exit. The team combines over 50 years of Iberian PE and consulting experience, with senior partners previously at Roland Berger, Oxy Capital, and Explorer Investments, and an advisory board chaired by Roland Berger (founder of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants and Blackstone board member).

Revenue is generated through management fees on committed and deployed capital and carried interest on successful exits; the firm is a signatory of the UN-supported Principles for Responsible Investment and integrates ESG throughout the investment lifecycle. The stated combined partner career track record is over €850 million deployed across more than 30 transactions, though current fund AUM is not publicly disclosed. The firm has 1-10 employees and was founded in 2023. A June 2025 co-led $1 million seed investment in Ethiopian startup Beemi is the only publicly identified portfolio investment to date.
