What they look for
BBVA Spark believes that high-growth technology companies have distinct financial needs that traditional risk models cannot assess. Their thesis focuses on backing companies with proven scalability and strong unit economics, providing them with debt capital to fuel growth (M&A, international expansion, working capital) while preserving founder equity. They aim to be the bank of the tech entrepreneurial ecosystem.
