Olivo Ventures (associated with Olivo Capital at groupolivo.com) is a London-headquartered global business innovation and venture building firm. We help high-growth businesses—from ambitious B2B startups to mid-sized enterprises and financial institutions—bridge the gap between initial concepts and final execution.
“We bridge the gap between strategic advisory and investment firms, using our people, IP, partners and financial resources to accelerate the journey from concept to execution. We engage in discrete projects that create, build and leave a tangible impact in and on the businesses we engage with.”
Traditional management consultancies deliver strategy decks and leave before execution begins. Traditional venture funds write checks but rarely build alongside management. Group Olivo operates as a hybrid venture builder and strategic partner—deploying multidisciplinary operator squads, reusable software IP, B2B ecosystem distribution, and syndicated growth capital.
Discrete, high-conviction projects for mid-market corporations, financial institutions, and scaling B2B ventures seeking measurable commercial transformation.
Co-founding and incubating standalone B2B SaaS and FinTech businesses from zero to institutional Series A scale using our internal product and engineering squads.
Architecting multi-sided B2B marketplaces and embedded financial distribution networks that unlock new recurring revenue across existing SME customer bases.
Direct pre-seed/seed investment and institutional Series A syndication alongside Europe’s premier fintech and enterprise software venture funds.
Select your organization profile, target domain, and current stage to generate a tailored Group Olivo engagement blueprint combining our advisory, IP, and capital capabilities.
Every engagement at Group Olivo is anchored by real operational DNA. Our co-founders Eduardo Martínez García and Michael Galvin have built, scaled, financed, and exited category-leading European platforms.
Co-founded in 2019 by Eduardo Martínez García (CEO) and Michael Galvin (CCO), Toqio is Europe’s premier low-code B2B embedded finance orchestration platform enabling corporates and banks to launch branded financial products.
Originally incubated under the working name LUM ("Light" in Esperanto) within the Group Olivo ecosystem, powering modular SME digital banking, multi-currency accounts, card issuing, and mobile applications.
Co-founded by Eduardo Martínez García and Michael Galvin, Geniac revolutionized UK small-business administration by unifying accounting, HR, payroll, legal, and corporate compliance on one SaaS platform.
We designed Olivo Ventures and Olivo Capital specifically to eliminate the handoff failure between strategy consultants, software agencies, and institutional investors.
