Operators, not allocators
Every company is started and run from the inside by people who have already built and sold an energy business. Capital goes into execution.
For institutional investors
An energy venture builder in Spain, open to institutional investors.
Vida Sustainable Ventures builds companies in energy, renewables, battery storage, infrastructure and software. We start them from scratch, take an operating role inside them and stay until they stand on their own. We work with funds of funds, family offices, infrastructure and energy-transition funds and corporates that want exposure to company building in the energy transition in Spain and Portugal.
Why a builder
Execution is the bottleneck
Spain has more permitted energy projects than teams able to build them. The value sits between the permit and the first megawatt, and that is where our companies work.
A track record tested by industrial buyers
Cable Energía, co-founded by Ignacio López Martín in 2019, was acquired by Shell in 2022 and by Acciona Energía in 2025: one platform, three industrial owners and their due diligences.
Local execution, European market
Our companies operate in Spain and Portugal and sell to energy players across Europe.
How we build
- 1Thesis first. We only start companies where we have operating experience: renewables, battery storage, wind O&M, e-mobility, energy infrastructure and the software around them.
- 2Founders from day one. We found each company, fund its first stage and take executive roles until there is a team that can run it without us.
- 3Built for institutional capital. Every company has a board from the start and is prepared for professional investors and for a strategic exit.
