ESC Venture Capital SGEIC (antes Encomenda Smart Capital)

Tras muchos meses de trabajo y esfuerzo, por fin podemos anunciar públicamente que nos aliamos con Santander Empresas España para impulsar los planes de beneficios de empleados entre las pymes 🔝 Este acuerdo va a permitir a las empresas clientes de Santander Empresas España gestionar los beneficios de sus plantillas de forma sencilla al unificar todos los procesos en una única plataforma a través de Cobee. ¡Muchas gracias a todos los medios por haceros eco de la noticia! 💚 Vamos a por todas 🚀

Muy contentos de anunciar que Pluxee ha comprado Cobee, startup invertida por ESC Venture Capital SGEIC (antes Encomenda Smart Capital) desde el inicio. Felicidades a Borja Aranguren, Nacho Travesí y resto del equipo, además de inversores. https://lnkd.in/dkWeTPU9

🚀 Cobee has signed an agreement to become part of Pluxee which represents one of the best exits in Spain since 2022 🔥 This is a great outcome for co-founders, employees and investors. It has been a privilege to be part of the Board since leading the pre-seed round until now 👏 I had the pleasure of meeting Borja Aranguren, CEO & Co-Founder of Cobee, in October 2018 (see picture) at the very beginning of Cobee. He is one of most driven, charismatic and resolute founders I have worked with. 🔝 Borja Aranguren brought on board two great co-founders: Nacho Travesí, Chief Sales Officer coming from a successful career at Gympass, and Daniel Olea Martín, former CTO. 🤝 They were joined over the last few years by an amazing management team with Óscar Pérez Benito, Pablo Huelin, Alberto Ortiz, Alfredo de Zavala Gancedo Pablo Del Pozo Arance Alejandro Domingo Salvador and many colleagues... 🚀 This great team shared a PURPOSE: improve the lives of thousands of employees in Spain and beyond, starting with better compensation/benefits. They have exceeded expectations, touching the lives of over 100,000 employees in over 1,500 companies. ►I managed to convince my colleagues at ESC Venture Capital SGEIC (antes Encomenda Smart Capital) to invest, even if it was very early, shared the opportunity with Sergio Pérez Merino Rubén Ferreiro and others, led the pre-seed round and worked with Borja Aranguren and the management team, as part of the Board until now 👉 Then Speedinvest with Oliver Holle led the seed round alongside Target Global ... Balderton Capital with Suranga Chandratillake and Cayetana Hurtado-Malidin led the Series A alongside DILA Capital ... Notion Capital with Itxaso del Palacio, PhD and Octopus Ventures with Nicholas Sando led the series B ... plus Carlos Fernández Elviro ... what a great Board! A number of learnings from my 5-year relationship with Cobee: ✅ Think about the problem area you want to tackle first, rather than the product and stay flexible to adapt. Cobee is currently very different from the vision we discussed in October 2018   ✅ Think big from the start. "Big" means aiming to create enduring impact and value for many clients and stakeholders ... Cobee strived to build a solid company without "fake till you make it" mindset ✅ People and team first ... do not compromise on quality, fit and commitment Cobee has managed to build a great team ✅ Think international. It is never easy but it pays off, as long as it is done with the right strategy. Cobee wisely combined organic and inorganic growth ✅ Communication and transparency. Cobee 's information for investors and management was impressive, which enabled great strategic discussions ✅ Constantly push your investors to add value (so many say they add value but do nothing). New clients, new talent, fund-raising, product,... Borja Aranguren Nacho Travesí Pushed investors a lot ✅ No ego. Focus on execution. You will not find Borja Aranguren doing much social media 😉
