Olisipo Way
ABOUT OLISIPO WAY
Olisipo Way is a Lisbon-based venture capital firm founded in 2015 that invests at pre-seed and seed stage. It writes small tickets of €50K to €150K and concentrates on IT and B2B software — adtech, sales and marketing, productivity tools, and SaaS — favouring software with product-led growth mechanics. The firm has made 58 investments and its portfolio has seen 4 acquisitions. Its portfolio includes Climber RMS and SQS, revenue-management and software companies, along with Oscar and Checkfirst. Among its exits, Lisbon Nearshore was acquired by Technology & Strategy Group in December 2022. Olisipo Way's focus on marketing automation, sales enablement, and productivity software gives it a defined niche within Portugal's early-stage market, backing founders building B2B tools at the earliest rounds where a modest cheque can anchor a first institutional financing. The combination of a specialized adtech and SaaS thesis with a track record of realized exits distinguishes Olisipo Way among Lisbon seed investors.
