INTRODUCTION

The financing of high-growth, high-potential and mostly early stage firms shows a persis-tent positive evolution in Spain. Startup firms have now access to several sources of long-term financing such as subsidized and participative loans granted by public-sector institu-tions (e.g., CDTI, ENISA and other similar institutions), domestic and international ventu-re capital firms (VCFs), and organized Business Angels, accelerators, incubators and simi-lar entities.

International funds continued to show a noticeable interest in investing in our country. If in 2013 17 funds (an historical maximum) invested in Spain for the first time, last year there were 14. These are amazing figures when we bear in mind that in the years prior to this the average was around 5. Now Spain can be truly said to be on the map.

The sector has also been shaken up by the arrival of the fund of funds FOND-ICO Global, acting as a lever for private national funds to be able to close out their new investment vehicles. Moreover, moderation continues to be the word in the activity of CDTI, ENISA and other regional institutions specializing in loans to small and medium-sized firms, which reached its peak in 2012.

All these factors and some others, augur a very interesting future.

The report Startup Financing in Spain. 2015, also includes: summary, list of investors (with portfolio and assets for that year), analysis and statistics1 and 182 related news items2.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Global financing received

The total amount3 received by startups in Spain increased by 26% in 2014 to €347 million. In contrast, the number of deals decreased by 16.3% to 1,057, basically due to the reduction in the number of loans granted by CDTI, ENISA and similar institutions.

Contribution of domestic and international VCFs

At the end of 2014, we see a rise in investment of rather more than €100 million to reach €280.1 million resulting from the increased contribution from international funds with a €153.5 million investment (+69%). However, somewhat more than half of that amount invested was concentrated in the last round carried out in Scytl, one of the greatest ever to take place in Spain. Other significant deals during the year were Social Point or STAT-Diagnóstica, among others. Domestic VC firms invested €127.2 million. There was a 6.6% fall to 313 in the number of deals. Private national VCs carried out 235 transactions (75%). The average amount invested in each deal increased by 72% last year to €895,000. Rather more than half of investments carried out in 2014 were for less than €250,000. At the other extreme, the €10 million ba-rrier was breached, with 5 deals. Altogether, 66 investors made at least one new deal. Last year 14 international and two national funds carried out their maiden investment.

When we analyze the activities of firms with VC backing, depending upon the development stage, a slight rise was seen in seed firm investments, and a historic high was attained in those related to Late Sta-ge venture. On the contrary, there was a fallback in deals in Startup and in the following (Other Early Stage). The sectoral category Information technologies raised 76% of the amount invested and 59% of the num-ber of deals. The amount of divestments at cost fell by 4% to €161.3 million in 2014, accompanied by a 23% drop in the number of final divestments to 134. Although there were relatively few divestments through indus-trial sales, namely 20, some were significant such as Trovit, Anafocus or ClickDelivery. Nevertheless, maybe the year´s most profitable divestment was the partial exit of Cabiedes in Blabacar through a third party sale to another venture capital firm.

As was to be expected, the fund of funds FONDO-ICO Global fomented activity in raising new VC

funds in 2014. In total, the number of new funds taken on showed a 34% increase to €378.5 million. Some of the funds that took off in 2014 were Caixa Capital TIC II, Axon ICT III, Cabiedes & Partners IV SCR, Ysios Biofund Innvierte FCR or Basque FCR, among others.

3 Including investments from domestic and international VC firms (VCFs), loans granted by public-sector institutions (CDTI, ENISA and simi-lar institutions) and organized groups of business angels, accelerators, incubators and similar entities.

Contribution of organized groups of business angels, accelerators, incubators and simi-

lar entities The amount invested by these agents increased by 18.4% to €22.7 million in 2014. The number of deals decreased slightly (-3.6%) to 323, of which 282 were initial investments (€73,000 per deal on average). 96% of the investments did not exceed the €250,000 threshold and 70% not event the €75,000 threshold. 31 players completed at least one initial investment in 2014, two more than in 2013. Among the Invest-ments to be highlighted we should mention Novicap, Finanzarel, A Crowd of Monsters, Green Momit or JobandTalent, among others. We also recorded 24 final exits, which at cost had a value of €2.5 million. In 13 of them the investment was written-off whereas in four there was a trade sale: Comenta TV, Ducksboard, Dexma Sensors and Saluspot.

Contribution of CDTI, ENISA and other similar institutions Investment in loans granted by CDTI, Enisa and other regional-sized institutions to firms who found themselves in early stages rose to €48.9 million in 2014, which represents a 37% drop compared to the amount recorded a year before. Though the number of loans was also affected with a 25% fall to 552 loans, it should not be forgotten that this figure represents 43.3% of the global number of VC deals in Spain last year. The active loan portfolio in firms at the initial stages produced a total of €404.5 million, shared out amongst 2,979 firms as of December 31, 2014.

Global funding received by companies in early stage and entrepreneurs

The total amount received by startups in Spain, including investments from domestic and international VCFs4, loans granted by public-sector institutions (CDTI, ENISA and similar institutions) and organized groups of business angels, accelerators, incubators and similar entities, was estimated at €347 million in 2014. This represents 26% more than in 2013 (€184.3 million). As shown in Table 1, the reduction in the amounts committed by public-sector institutions contrasts with the increased activity of VCFs. However, the number of investments registered for all these entities fell by 14% to 1.275. This fall mate-rialized to a great extent in the number of loans granted by the above-mentioned public entities, which showed a 25% drop, to 552 in 2014. On the contrary the level of deals by national and international VCs and the BA group of Accelerators and incubators fell only slightly.

Table 1 Amount committed by investor type

Source: ASCRI/www.webcapitalriesgo.com. The number of deals registered for all these bodies fell by 16.3% to 1.057. This fall materialized to a great extent in the number of loans granted by the above-mentioned public entities, which showed a 25.8% drop, to 547 from 737 in the last year. On the contrary the level of deals by national and interna-tional VCs and the BA group of accelerators and incubators fell only slightly.

Table 2 Number of deals by investor type

Source: ASCRI/www.webcapitalriesgo.com. At the end of 2014, registering the three mentioned groups, 196 investors had at least one firm in the seed or takeoff stage in their portfolio. 154 were classified as national and international VCs, 37 are groups of Business Angels and Accelerators and Incubators, to which we could add 5 public institutions speciali-zing in granting shared loans. Of the 154 funds which normally5 carry out VC deals, 81 were managed by private national investors, 17 were funds with a majority of public capital, whilst 56 were international funds. 4. Venture Capital is defined as the investments in firms at the seed, startup, other early and late stages, carried out by professional teams. 5 You can check the complete list of investors included by clicking on this link.

Investment activity by national and international Venture Capital firms6 Last year saw a €100 million leap in VC investment, which rose from €184 million to 280.1 million7. This increase was related, almost wholly, with the contribution from international VCFs operating in Spain, who invested €153.5 million, an increase of 169% over the previous year. More than half its in-vestment was made in just one investment, Scytl. National VCFs invested €127.2 million, figure almost identical to a year earlier.

The number of deals8 fell from 353 to 313 last year, representing a 6.6% drop. Of them, 184 were new investments and 129 follow-up investments, compared to 199 and 154 in 2013, respectively.

Of the total number of deals, 235 (or 75%) were performed by private national VCFs, 26 less than in 2013; 43 by public national ones (19 less); whereas international funds made 35 deals in 2014, five more than the year before. The average amount per deal rose by 72% last year to €895.000.

The investment amount of VCFs represented 10% of the total sum of VC/PE9 investment in Spain (€3,465 million) and 77% of number of invested companies (404) in 2014, as shown in the ASCRI’s 2015 Annual Report.

Among the year´s most prominent investments Scytl stood out through the amount of resources rai-sed. The management company specializing in electronic voting and election technology received a total €77.8 million, which went towards new R&D development and speeding up its growth plans. The round, which is among the third biggest in the history of Venture Capital in Spain, was witness to the launching of the international funds Vulcan Capital, SAP Ventures, Vy Capital, Adams Street and Industry Ventu-res. As participants in the company for many years we have seen Nauta Capital (Nauta Tech Invest II SCR), Riva y García (Spinnaker fund) and Balderton. Other deals worthy of note were the third round of the Internet Social games company Social Point, headed by Highland to the value of €22 million; the en-try of Accel and other investors in Wallapop´s mobile app for buying and selling second hand; the final round of funding carried out in the WIFI communications operator FON; the initial presentation in Spain of Qualcomm in the company which developed diagnosis systems STAT-Diagnóstica; or the CRB In-verbió investment in biotechnology Mecwins.

Altogether 66 investors carried out at least one new deal, one less than in the year before. Of these, 39 were private national funds, against the 36 of 2013, and 9 were public ones, in line with the 10 of the year before. 18 international funds made at least one new investment, near to the maximum of 21 recor-ded the year before.

Last year there were 14 international funds investing in Spain for the first time: Adams Street, Al-tPoint Capital, Connect Ventures, DeIta Partners, Earlybird, Industry Ventures, Inversur Capital, London VP, Nokia GP, Partech, Qualcomm, SAP Ventures, Vulcan Capital and VY Capital. To this list can be added two national funds, Onza Capital and BS Startup.

The most active private investors were Caixa Capital Risc, with 46 deals (new ones and/or follow-up), Kibo Ventures (21) and Inveready (17). The most prominent of public investors were Gestión de CR del País Vasco (9), Extremadura Avante (7), Sodena and Sodicaman (6 each). Finally, among the internatio-nal investors Idinvest Partners with 3 deals and Accel, with two, were the most significant.

6. For more details on the statistics please consult ASCRI’s 2015 Annual Report . 7. These figures could be added the investment of national VC firms (VCFs) in companies based in other countries, as summarized in €49.5 million spread in 40 startups. 8. If for example two funds from the same management company participate in the same investment, two deals are recorded. In the same man-ner, if investments by a company are structured in two tranches in the same year, we also count two deals. 9. Venture Capital activity groups together Venture CapitaI investment, expansion and Private Equity.

Regarding the breakdown by activity sector, the category that attracted the largest amount was Informa-tion Technologies and Digital (€213.6 million), representing 76% of the total invested in 2014, including 185 investments (59%). The category Life Sciences received €28.7 million in 52 investments, featuring deals such as Mecwins or Minoryx Therapeutics, among others. The category Industrial and other sectors received €37.7 million in 76 inversiones, as Qbotix or Taulia.

57% of the number of deals carried out by domestic VCFs focused on Information Technologies and Di-gital, with a major influence in seed (e.g., Omnidrone or Worldcoo), startup (e.g., cartoDB or PlayGiga) and other early stages (e.g., Rifiniti). In contrast, international VCFs focuesd mostly on late stage venture deals in the same activity sector (46%), in deals such as Scytl or Kantox. The size of the deals carried out last year reflects the reality of the VC segment in Spain. Rather more

than half of the deals carried out in 2014 were for less than €250,000 whereas almost a third ran-ged between €250,000 and €1 million. When we consider the size of the firm receiving the investment, almost half of the deals took place in firms with fewer than 10 employees. If firms with up to 20 emplo-yees are included the percentage climbs to 69.3%. In the tranche between €5 and 10 million there were eight deals, against five carried out the year before. Unlike what occurred in the two previous years, in 2014 the €10 million barrier was indeed breached. This logically impacted on the total amount invested. Four deals (in three firms) involved payments of between €10 and €25 million, whereas in one it was over the latter figure. Three of these transactions of more than €10 million were related to Scytl The accured portfolio of national and international VCFs operating in Spain rose to €1,758 million in 2014, spread between 1,406 firms. This represents an average investment of €1.25 million per company.

Divestment fund activity by national and international Venture Capital funds The amount of divestments at cost fell by 4% to €161.3 million in 2014 whereas the number of divest-ments as a whole showed a 15% increase to 259. The average time the investing firm stayed in the in-vestee one was 5.7 years in the period analyzed, and also in the case of final divestments. Depending on the mechanism employed, of the 134 final divestments, 57 of them (42.5% of the total) involved the total loss of the investment, 40 fewer than those recorded the previous year. Divestments through third party sales (industrial or financial) fell from 33 to 20 in the last year. There was scarcely any variation in buybacks and sales between VCFs, 30 and 3 being recorded respectively. Albeit there were relatively few divestments through industrial sales, compared to previous years there were outstanding ones such as Trovit (Cabiedes), Anafocus (Bullnet Capital), ClickDelivery (Axon Part-ners Group), Ducksboard (Cabiedes, Kibo Plug &Play). But perhaps the most profitable divestment of the year was the partial exit of Cabiedes in Blablacar via third party sales to another Venture Capital firm. Other sales between investors were Rotor (Möbius) or JobandTalent (Invercaria).

New funds for future investments As was to be expected, the fund of funds FOND-ICO GLOBAL drove new fundraising activity by VCFs in 2014 (as well as Private Equity funds) towards higher quality, as a lever for resource raising rather than a quantitative way.

WEBCAPITALRIESGO

New funds raised by domestic VCFs was estimated at €378.5 million. This represents a 34% increase over the amount raised in 2013 (€282.5 million). Private sector domestic VCFs held the largest share (€323.4 million), with new funds added by 20 firms, whereas only five government-owned VCFs contri-buted with €55 million Funds were received by FOND-ICO Global in 201410, Adara Ventures II, Vivergi Social Impact Fund (Ambar VC), Caixa Capital TIC II, Seaya Capital, Axon ICT III and SC Energy Fund Efficiency Fund I (Suma Capital). Other funds which also took off in 2014 were Axon Amérigo Ventures, Caixa Innvierte Biomed II, Caixa Capital Micro II, Cabiedes & Partners IV SCR and Ysios Biofund II Invierte FCR. Among the new funds the Basque FCR stood out.

Activity of groups of Business Angels and Accelerator-Incubators The amount invested by BAs operating with organized, identifiable vehicles, accelerators, incubators and similar entities rose by 18.4% to €22.7 million in 2014, of which 20.6 million was devoted to new invest-ments. However, the number of deals showed a slight fall (-3.6%) to 323, with a recorded total of 282 new deals (-5.1%) and 41 follow-up (7.9%). The average amount invested in new deals was €73,000, against the 60,150 registered in 2013.

The most active investors were the accelerators Wayra, with 112 deals (new and/or follow-up), Lanzadera (26) and Plug & Play España (17). Among the groups or networks of Business Angels the significant ones were Esade BAN with 25 deals, IESE Ban (22), Civeta Investment (16), Sitka Capital and Realiza BA (with 8 each).

10. In 2014 only resources from the first two FONDO-ICO calls for funds were registered, while resources assigned in the III, IV and, foreseea-ble Vth round, will be counted in 2015.

According to the stage at which the investee firm finds itself, 49% of the number of deals were concen-trated in seed investments, 32% in startups and the other 19% were extensions of previous rounds. Among the seed deals in which there was participation from Accelerators, Incubators and/or Business Angel groups we could name Novicap, Wave or Finanzarel, whilst some examples of startup financing were A Crowd of Monsters, Green Momit or Brainsins. In a later stage we can mention the rounds per-formed by Selfpackaging or JobandTalent, among others. By activity sector, the investments in companies related to the Internet and Communications category prevailed with 180 transactions (56% of the total); followed by Information Technology with 89 transac-tions (28%). Life Sciences rose a 120% up to 22 transactions (7% of the total).

96% of investments made were for less than €250,000, and in 70% of these cases they fell below €75,000. Only 2 investments were between €500,000 and a million euros, and just one investment exce-eding a million euros.

Of the 207 transactions recorded in Spain, 43% were made in firms from Catalonia, followed by 23.7% in the Community of Madrid and 22.2% in the Community of Valencia. The other Autonomous Commu-nities with some deals were Andalusia, Asturias, Baleares, Castilla la Mancha, Galicia, La Rioja and the Basque Country. Slightly above a third of the investments (36%), were in startups from other European countries, U.S.A. and Latin America, most of them with the Wayra seal. In the divestment section, 26 divestments were recorded, at cost, and these reached a total of €2.5 mil-lion. Of the 24 final divestments in 13 of them (54%) the investors took a loss on the whole of the invest-ed capital, compared to the 15 (60%) registered in 2013. In five of them (20.8%) the firm bought back the stake from the investor. On a positive note 4 sales to industrials were registered, Comenta TV, Ducksboard, Dexma Sensors and Saluspot, with none registered the year before.

Activity of CDTI, Enisa and other regional-sized entities

Complementary financing, by means of loans granted by public institutions still remains fundamental for the financing of startups Venture Capital and private venture capital firms and helps to enhance the capa-city of firms to innovate and develop in their early stages.

The loans granted by CDTI, Enisa and other similar institutions11 to firms in the early stages rose to €48.9 million in 2014, which represents a 37% drop compared to the volume recorded a year earlier. Though the number of loans was also affected with a 25% fall to 552 loans, it should not be forgotten that this figure represents 43.3% of the global number of VC deals in Spain last year.

Amount invested and number of loans

Source: www.webcapitalriesgo.com.

The fall was due to the lower assignation of resources by CDTI and ENISA and, consequently, the num-ber of loans they awarded.

The average amount per loan was €88.660, compared to the 104,480 registered in 2013. 96% of them did not exceed €250,000 whereas the remaining 4% was between €250,000 and €500,000.

If we pick out the development stage of the firm receiving the loan, almost half (48%) was devoted to firms in the startup phase, 42% to firms in the seed stage, whilst the other 10 % went to subsequent ex-tensions of seed and startup rounds. 36% of the loans were granted to companies in the Internet and Communications category, whereas Information Technology companies received a 22%. Services or Consumer Products categories accumulated a 28% of the total.

If we separate the information by Autonomous Community, we find significant the 28.1% of loans gran-ted to firms located in the Community of Madrid, ahead of the 25.5 % related to firms in Catalonia and the 16% to firms in the Community of Valencia.

The active loan portfolio in firms at the initial stages produced a total of €404.5 million, shared out amongst 2,979 firms as of December 31, 2014. There is still a predominance of loans related to firms in the Computer related sector with 1.323 (42%).

11. As well as CDTI and ENISA ,who operate throughout the national territory, in the sample information is included on loans granted by the Instituto Catalán de Finanzas (ICF); the Generalitat Valenciana through IVACE (Instituto Valenciano de Competitividad Empresarial), and the credit lines of the Aragonese SODIAR SCR.
