Headquartered in London with deep operational roots in Madrid, Olivo Ventures Limited (UK Company No. 12039793) and Olivo Capital (www.groupolivo.com) form an integrated business innovation, strategic advisory, and venture-building group founded by serial entrepreneurs Eduardo Martínez García and Michael Galvin.
Across Europe, mid-sized enterprises and ambitious founders face a structural gap: strategic advisors lack the engineering IP and entrepreneurial grit to build working ventures, while investment firms rarely engage until commercial traction is already proven. Group Olivo was built to bridge that exact gap.
As recorded in our corporate mandate: “Olivo is a global business innovation firm. 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.” Whether incubating an embedded finance platform from scratch or restructuring an enterprise distribution network, we measure success in live transactions and enterprise value.
From meeting at Accenture to scaling and selling Geniac to Grant Thornton, launching Go Madrid and Go4Venture, and co-founding Olivo Ventures and Toqio, our leadership team brings repeatable, battle-tested venture execution.
Every platform and advisory methodology inside Group Olivo traces back to a verifiable sequence of ventures built across the United Kingdom and Spain.
Eduardo Martínez García and Michael Galvin first collaborate at global consultancy Accenture, observing firsthand the operational and administrative bottlenecks faced by growing businesses. Eduardo founds the Go Madrid B2B technology accelerator in Spain (with Michael serving as Mentor and Non-Executive Director) and teaches entrepreneurship as Associate Professor at IE University, while Michael serves as CEO of European venture syndication platform Go4Venture.
Martínez and Galvin co-found Geniac in the United Kingdom—an integrated SaaS and business-support platform automating accounting, HR, payroll, legal, and corporate compliance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). After scaling across the UK market, Geniac is acquired by Grant Thornton, where the founders collaborate closely to integrate digital SME operations into Grant Thornton’s global professional services network.
Following their exit from Geniac, Eduardo Martínez García and Michael Galvin incorporate Olivo Ventures Limited in London on 7 June 2019 (UK Companies House No. 12039793, SIC 82990) and initiate development of a next-generation B2B embedded finance platform under the working name LUM (Esperanto for “Light”), establishing the groupolivo.com and com.olivomobile.dev digital banking development footprint across London (25 Christopher Street, EC2A 2BS) and Madrid (Calle Gavilanes 1, 28035).
Project LUM officially launches as Toqio (Toqio Fintech Limited, Toqio Fintech Holdings Limited—notified on 19 March 2021 as Corporate Person with Significant Control of Olivo Ventures Limited—and Spanish subsidiary Toqio Fintech Sociedad Limitada, NIF B84576669). In July 2021, Toqio closes an €8 million Seed round backed by Seaya Ventures, Speedinvest, and SIX FinTech Ventures.
Toqio secures a €20 million Series A led by London-based AlbionVC with participation from Aldea Ventures and returning investors Seaya Ventures, Speedinvest, and SIX FinTech Ventures, complemented by a €1.3 million CDTI grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation to scale embedded finance orchestration across Europe.
Tracked across institutional databases as Olivo Ventures and Olivo Capital (www.groupolivo.com), the group expands its corporate innovation mandates and SME financial ecosystem deployments across the United Kingdom and Spain. Olivo Ventures Limited maintains active UK statutory compliance at 88 Nightingale Lane, London, SW12 8NR (latest Confirmation Statement filed 9 July 2026, next due 23 July 2027).
