Smileat — Buyout

Seaya, through its €300M Andromeda Sustainable Tech fund, acquired a majority stake in Smileat (described by co-founder Alberto Jiménez as 'very close to 50%') to back its Spanish leadership and international expansion; the amount was not disclosed. The deal was structured essentially as a cash-out purchase of shares from earlier shareholders — Creas, Quadia and Clave Capital's Tech Transfer Agrifood exited — with co-founders and co-CEOs Alberto Jiménez and Javier Quintana retaining significant stakes and continuing to run the company.
