GraciosaClimate Circle

For founders

We see your work before the market does.

We work with selected women-led climate and industrial-technology founders raising approximately €250k-€2m.

Graciosa is not an open fundraising platform. Companies are usually prepared through Verana Ventures before being shared with the circle.

Verana Ventures, our advisory firm, identifies and structures capital raises for technically serious climate-tech founders in Iberia, Southern Europe, and the Baltics - and brings selected companies to the Graciosa investor circle once they are investor-ready. We do not run an open application portal. We do answer every founder note we receive.
