BSV Ariadne FCRE SA—
Distinct corporate-form European venture capital feeder registered CNMV199 on May23,2025, managed by Big Sur Ventures SGEIC SA. Its March2026 prospectus specifies that all investment commitments are available to acquire primary or secondary interests in BSV IV Ariadne FCRE. It is a feeder into that flagship, not an independent pool investing directly in startups; avoid adding its capital to the underlying fund a second time. Its terms define a closing threshold of EUR20 million, without confirming that amount has been raised.
BSV IV Ariadne FCRE—
European venture capital fund registered CNMV155 on July30,2024, managed by Big Sur Ventures SGEIC SA. Invests in early-stage deep tech and digital technology, including quantum systems, microelectronics, photonics, materials, AI, cloud computing and cybersecurity. The February2025 prospectus sets a EUR100 million fundraising target, which the manager may increase by up to25%; this is not a confirmed final close. SETT announced authorization for a EUR40 million LP investment on July29,2025; that ticket is not the whole-fund size.
