BeHappy Investments

What they do

Founded in 2023, BeHappy Investments is an impact investment vehicle structured as a limited company rather than a traditional regulated VC fund. It was created by a group of high-profile executives and entrepreneurs who pool their capital to back purpose-driven startups. The firm prioritizes social and environmental values alongside economic returns, with a particular focus on sustainable initiatives, rural modernization, and the primary sector in Spain. The fund operates democratically, with major decisions voted on by its partners and governance overseen by an Advisory Board composed of its top seven shareholders.

What they look for

BeHappy Investments seeks to back projects where economic returns are intrinsically linked to the development of sustainable initiatives, support for rural modernization, and respect for the environment. They aim to prove that profitability and positive social impact can go hand in hand. They explicitly look for seed and early-stage companies that have already gained market traction and are projected to reach break-even within a short timeframe. They evaluate startups based on five key characteristics: an innovative/disruptive idea, a "TOP Team" (founders who are committed to staying with the project, possess strong communication skills, show humility to accept advice, and demonstrate market flexibility), and a clear capacity to generate positive impact.
