\nNew European+LatAm VC fund Boost Capital Partners takes aim at startups with games-level UX<\/br>
\n2023-06-20 21:41:10<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Boost Capital Partners<\/a> is the name of a new European + LatAm VC fund which aims to focus on startups with a focus on user experience. <\/p>\n

The London-based VC has hit its first close of $35 million, with a target of $40 million. It\u2019s been founded by Alvaro Alvarez del Rio<\/a>, who has backed around 100 companies at or before seed stage including Deliveroo, Supercell, Zencargo, Hutch Games and Tenor. Alvarez del Rio says he plans to look for companies which can bring a \u201cgaming experience to products\u201d and create that virtuous circle of engagement which these kinds of companies can prong to products. It\u2019s worthy of note that he was formerly a partner at Swordfish Investments and at Initial Capital which backed games giant Supercell.<\/p>\n

Speaking to TechCrunch over an email exhange, Alvarez del Rio said: \u201cI decided to raise a fund to help founders that are digitising real-economy industries create gaming-level user experiences (acquiring, engaging, retaining and monetising user bases) to improve lives and achieve better outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ignacio Monereo and\u00a0Pablo Morenes, are the other partners and have backgrounds in at companies including Google, Meta and Blackstone.
\u00a0
Boost plans to invest in pre-seed and seed companies with initial ticket sizes of up to $750,000 and also participate in follow-on rounds. Its main sectors will include health, wellness, education, sustainability, entertainment and finance, and it has so far backed Howbout, Volta, Krew, Together. Cosmic Lounge, Pulppo and Stitch.<\/p>\n

Other partners at Boost Capital Partners are Pablo Moren\u00e9s and Ignacio Monereo.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Boost Capital, Moren\u00e9s was a portfolio analyst at Algebris Investments, a Blackstone M&A associate and an investment banking analyst at Credit Suisse. Monereo has previously held roles at Google and Meta.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
