Vitamina K is a Spanish-based venture capital fund that strategically deploys capital into early-stage technology and Internet companies. The firm’s core offering involves providing critical seed and growth funding, actively seeking out projects that demonstrate tangible traction rather than mere conceptualization.

The fund was co-founded by Rafael Garrido and Iñaki Arrola, the latter bringing significant entrepreneurial pedigree as a founding partner of Coches.com.

This approach underscores a belief in empowering visionary individuals with the resources and mentorship necessary to navigate the complexities of early-stage growth.
Vitamina K primarily serves ambitious entrepreneurs and burgeoning technology companies poised for expansion across the internet landscape. The fund’s overarching mission, encapsulated by its belief in "innovation" and investment in "people," is to cultivate impactful ventures from their formative stages.
