The name Xeito (Galician) refers to accomplishing tasks with skill, style, and purpose. This perfectly reflects the investment philosophy behind Xeito Capital by Elevenyellow, a Galician family office that has recently entered the search fund landscape. They define themselves as more than investors: “a strategic partner dedicated to uncovering transformative opportunities through rigorous analysis, operational excellence, and a tech-inspired approach, driving sustainable growth and meaningful impact across all our ventures.”
After five years operating as a family office, with activities in private equity, venture capital, private debt, and managing diversified portfolios across various asset classes, they have decided to bet on Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition. Their goal is to support entrepreneurial leaders in buying and growing great businesses, and they have been active in this segment for the past six months.
Their plan is to participate in around 15–20 SME acquisitions in the next few years, but since they invest their own capital, flexibility remains a core principle. Their scope includes traditional search funds, self-funded searches, and equity-gap financings. While primarily focused on the Iberian Peninsula, they are open to investing in other countries when the talent meets their criteria.
They are particularly attracted to traditional sectors, especially manufacturing, industrial, and B2B services. Alberto Grandío is the Managing Director for the EtA branch within Xeito.
