My guest today is Sonia Fernandez, Partner at Kibo Ventures. 

Sonia brings a multi-decade perspective on building technology companies in Spain.  She is both an operator, having led the Spanish offices for MercadoLibre and Match.com, and an investor.  In our conversation, we talk about the changing level of ambition in Spanish entrepreneurs, and how investors like Kibo are meeting this moment. 

This is a great conversation for anyone curious about the trajectory of the venture market in Spain, and what leading investors are looking for today.  We cover:

  • Kibo's origin story and growth  
  • The rising bar for fundraising in today's market
  • What Sonia looks for in Founders today
  • Spain's role in global tech development
