Mouro Capital has announced the first close of its third fund, securing $400 million from Banco Santander, the firm’s longstanding strategic partner. The latest fundraising brings Mouro Capital’s total investment commitments to more than $1 billion.
Mouro Capital is an independently managed venture capital firm focused on financial services and technology. Since 2015, Mouro Capital’s team has invested across North America, Europe and Latin America, typically backing companies from seed through to Series C stages.
Its investment strategy is centred on emerging technologies shaping financial services, including artificial intelligence, data infrastructure, blockchain and governance, risk and compliance technologies. Areas of focus for the new fund include capital markets, wealth management, insurtech and AI-enabled enterprise infrastructure.
Manuel Silva Martínez, General Partner at Mouro Capital, said:
We’re proud to have built a global platform delivering strong, consistent returns. With this fund, we’re excited to back the next generation of global founders rewiring financial services through the lens of AI, data and infrastructure.
He added that Mouro Capital sees growing opportunities in areas such as capital markets, wealth management and governance, risk and compliance technologies, driven by developments in AI and blockchain, while insurtech remains an underserved segment where the firm plans to increase its focus.
With seven investments already completed through the new fund, Mouro Capital has begun deploying capital into companies, including Eleven Labs and Sakana AI, reflecting its focus on AI-driven transformation within financial services and enterprise operations.
According to Mouro Capital, the new fund will continue supporting founders across fintech and enterprise infrastructure, while maintaining follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies.
