Barcelona's Masia closes €18M debut fund and opens new home for frontier tech founders

Masia has closed its €18M debut fund to invest in early-stage AI and frontier tech companies with a Barcelona connection, and opened Masia House to bring its founders, international investors and LPs together. Masia combines early-stage investment with access to international investors, talent and expertise, supported by a community of founders, operators and more than 70 LPs. Masia House gives that network a physical home in Barcelona, where local and visiting founders and investors can build relationships through regular contact, helping companies find the connections and support they need to scale globally. Carlos Trenchs, Co-founder and Chairman at Masia, commented: “The moment for Barcelona is right now. We launched Masia’s first fund last year because we saw Barcelona’s tech ecosystem was nearing a tipping point, and we wanted to connect successful LPs and international VCs in the city with talent choosing to build and scale global frontier tech businesses from here.
