> Fundraising advisory and early-stage investment from the side of the table that writes the checks. We get founders ready to raise, and sometimes we go first. Founded by Nacho Sánchez.

Senda Partners is an early-stage investment and fundraising advisory firm, based in Spain and operating across Europe. It is an investor, not a consultant: the advice comes from someone who invests at pre-seed, so founders hear what an investor would tell them before they sit across from one.

Two arms:
1. Fundraising advisory: getting founders ready to raise, tearing into the pitch, deck, model and data room the way an investor will.
2. Direct investment: first checks at pre-seed in teams whose moat is built on physical assets and proprietary data no software-only rival can reach.

Key facts:
- Over EUR 200M raised by advised founders.
- 100+ founders advised.
- 4 direct investments, roughly EUR 50k average ticket.
- The investment fund is co-managed with Suda Partners.
- Positioning claim: "A clear story, a closed round."
