About Us

Welcome to Semilla Impact, an angel fund dedicated to empowering startups that drive positive change in the environment and society through innovative solutions and business models.

Our diverse team brings together a wealth of expertise in strategy, governance, technology, finance, and sustainability.

Ticket sizes

We aim to help start-ups in an early phase, when the product or solution has just been launched. Our initial ticket sizes are between 50.000 and 100.000 euro. Follow-up investment is possible.

Early stage

As an angel fund we usually invest in the (pre) seed round, sometimes as the lead investor. We invest before an institutional investor / VC comes aboard.

Innovation

We are looking for start-ups which have an innovative solution, service or business model, or a combination thereof. Often it includes a technological solution.

Impact

Impact is the reason why we are doing this with passion. We focus on start-ups making impact on sustainability with an optional social component.

Established in NL

As we are backed by the RVO (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland) we are limited to participating to entities established and residing in the Netherlands.
