About us
Samaipata is an early-stage founders’ fund investing in digital businesses with network effects across Europe and beyond. The fund was founded in 2016 by two entrepreneurs, José del Barrio and Eduardo Díez-Hochleitner. José was the co-founder and CEO of the leading food-delivery platform in Spain (La Nevera Roja) which was sold for $100 million. Eduardo was founder of a 3D sound system sold to Dolby (IMM Sound), former Partner at Apax Partners, a prolific business angel, and the current Chairman at MásMóvil, recently valued at €20 billion, becoming the first Southern European Decacorn.

What an incredible few days in our Founders' Summit! Last week, we brought together the founders of our portfolio companies, operating partners and some close friends of Samaipata in Mallorca for our second Hive Summit (Samaipata Founders’ Retreat). Three days packed with connection, inspiration and great conversations - all centered around “The Power of Trust”. Whether it was through roundtable discussions, coaching sessions, or simply grabbing a drink and sharing stories, the Hive Summit creates and strengthens the ties of our community. I’m reminded once again how lucky we are to have such an incredible group of people around us. I left feeling proud, energized, and more excited than ever for what's ahead! To everyone who made it possible and brought their energy: THANK YOU!
