Xavier Pladellorens: "With 30 million you can buy one of the ten best companies in Manresa, not a startup losing money"

▤ Summary

Xavier Pladellorens reflects on his post-Deporvillage investing strategy and says he now prefers backing businesses with real revenues and EBITDA. He explains that his family office has made around 80 investments since 2022, including many startups but also real estate and more established companies. He argues that AI is changing the software landscape and reducing the defensibility of early-stage tech products. He also says he has recently launched two new businesses, one in real estate renovation and another in retail focused on sports-club stores.
