JME is a venture capital firm focused on making investments in early-stage technology startups. We’re centrally located in Madrid (Spain), but we invest in companies across Europe and, occasionally, in the US.
What We Do
As early-stage investors, we are comfortable making seed investments as well as participating in larger Series A venture financing rounds. Regardless of the size of our initial investment, we strive to continue to support our portfolio companies through their entire financing lifecycle. In addition to providing the necessary venture capital to finance a growing company, we are committed to leveraging our experience in scaling companies, our expertise in corporate finance and in the technology industry, and our network of relationships to help great entrepreneurs turn great ideas into great businesses.

Today we’re excited to share that Konvo AI has raised a €3.5M Seed round led by Samaipata, with participation from Abac Nest Ventures, JME Ventures, Itnig - Startup Ecosystem and Combination VC and incredible angels.
Scott and I started Konvo a little over a year ago with a simple goal: help brands deliver the best customer experience possible.
Today we’re a team of 13, supporting hundreds of brands with that same mission.
Why does this matter?
Because commerce is broken.
And now is the right time to fix it.
For too long, brands have reduced consumers to numbers on a dashbord — CAC, LTV, retention. But what about when my mom needs to buy food for her dog, or when I ordered a gift and it’s lost in delivery, or when you need to find a solution to your sleep problem? There’s nothing average about those.
The problem? For a brand to treat each moment as uniquely important requires an army of humans they simply can’t afford.
✅ Want help choosing food for your dog?
✅ Frustrated with a lost package?
✅ Need a solution to your sleep issue?
✅ Tired of hundreds of useless emails?
We’re building Konvo AI to fix this.
Konvo’s proactive AI Agents handle customer conversations like your best human agent would - understanding context, solving problems, driving sales - but for every customer, 24/7, at a fraction of the cost.
We’re grateful to our investors, our partners, our team and, especially, to every brand that trust us.
Without you, none of this is possible.
Now, back to work 🫡

• 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 & 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵: Europe shows strength in Oxford Ionics and PhysicsX, but also strong up-and-comers like Multiverse Computing.
• 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹: Quantum Systems and Tekever show governments are buying, and we're seeing more capital and talent flowing towards it.

As Torsten Slok, Apollo´s Chief Economist, shares, global M&A activity is currently near its lowest level in the past two decades.
This has many implications but among others the liquidity for PE and VC LPs, a situation further exacerbated by the continued stagnation of the IPO market.
Being this true, we have just learned that Meta is closing a $29bn acquisition of Scale AI. This would be one of the largest exits in VC history.

This week was Apple´s 2025 Developer Conference in Cupertino. As for consumers, there are very few noteworthy announcements.
On the AI front, everyone was expecting much more.
In this light, company stock price is suffering (-20% in the last 6 months) as Apple seems to be falling behind other big tech in relation to AI. Notably, last year’s WWDC promised a “major improvement in Siri and AI capabilities,” yet those advancements have still not materialized.

I’ve mentioned before that Sean Peche is, in my view, one of the top equity investors worth following.
This week, he shared key takeaways from a recent encounter with Howard Marks, one of the greatest investors of our time and founder of Oaktree Capital (if you’re not already subscribed to his memos, go sign up)

Pretty shocking interview from Tucker Carlson to Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram.
Durov shares his experience of being arrested in France, with reasons behind the arrest apparently not 100% clear or clean.
If you are worried about data privacy, freedom of expression and the growing concerns around the practices of Western governments, this is a must-watch.

The world bank has announced it will start funding projects to build or extend lifespan of nuclear power plants.
This marks a significant policy shift that could influence other global institutions and governments to adopt a more favorable stance toward nuclear energy.
In the case of Spain, I hope this, alongside Germany’s changing position and other recent developments, serves as a wake-up call for policymakers.
It is imperative to have a solid power generation infrastructure. Increasingly important if we want to be an “AI country”.
Voice AI is eating real workflows.
I mapped the 100+ startups behind it:
We’ve been backing early Voice and Conversational AI plays: HappyRobot, Rauda AI, Konvo AI, Altan.
And the tech is crossing the line from “cool” to useful.
Voice used to be broken: awkward UX, robotic TTS, dropped calls. Now it’s hitting sub-300ms latency. Interruptions, memory, tone are all getting solved.
It’s fast, human, and good enough to replace real work:
✅ Customer support
✅ Recruiting screens
✅ Lead enrichment
✅ Loan renewals
✅ + a long etc.
I broke it all down in this week’s Startup Riders drop:
– What makes Voice finally viable
– How the infra stack evolved
– Where founders are going vertical
– Full 2025 Voice AI Market Map (100+ companies)
