Cneo Partners attracts 18 investors to buy a Spanish company

Jose Maria Jover Santillana and Ignacio Jarava met in 2009 on the first day of university and have since shared the dream of building something together. 15 years later, after long and successful international careers in M&A, tech, and operations (Jose at Amazon, Uber, and Restaurant Brands International; Ignacio at Banco Santander, Management Solutions, and Ferrovial Airports, where he also founded the Fast Casual kebab chain Jekes), their dream finally came true with the founding of Cneo Partners, a SF with the objective of acquiring and operating a business in Iberia.

Cneo Partners is backed by 18 international investors, including key players such as Relay Investments, Istria Capital, Vonzeo Capital, Ethos Partners, Evolutiq, and Beka Alpha Partners, as well as serial SF private investors such as Alfonso Blohm, Felipe Corcuera, Joachim de Belgique, Tobias Raeber, and Bruno Lea.

Both entrepreneurs are actively searching to operate and manage a company with a turnover of up to €40M and an EBITDA in the range of €1M to €4M.
