The group
Grupo Navatea is a company based in Madrid, Spain. It started out selling IT services for other companies and still does, but today it also builds its own products, operates them and spins them out into independent startups when a project calls for it. All of it under the navat.ai brand, its venture studioA venture studio (or startup studio) is an organisation that builds multiple startups from scratch, simultaneously, systematically and repeatably..
Architecture and technical decisions are made inside Grupo Navatea. The team scales when it needs to, with our own AI agents and with specialists brought in project by project, but who answers for the result never changes.
The structure is designed so that each project can grow independently of the rest. Brands are born inside Grupo Navatea, share its infrastructure and its judgement, and move into their own company when their risk or their upside justifies it.
Model
None of the three depends on the other two. Each runs its own business models, timescales and markets.
Technology leadership and software architecture for companies that need judgement, not hands. Long-term work, not billable hours.
Software Grupo Navatea designs, builds and operates, with its own brand and its own revenue model: subscription, advertising or licence.
Stakes in companies in our sector, investment in outside ventures, assets in other vehicles inside and outside technology.
Portfolio
Three pieces, each hanging from the holding in a different way. What sets them apart is not their size, but the role each one plays.
Venture studio
The Grupo Navatea venture studio. It builds products of its own and does the engineering for other companies. It is where every brand starts before it has a company of its own.

Our own company
A geo-referenced webcam company: thousands of live cameras from all over the world, laid out on maps and categories. Its own brand, product and strategy, all within Grupo Navatea.
Investee
A fintech company Grupo Navatea holds a stake in. It is the kind of stake the holding looks for when it can also contribute judgement: stable and long-term.
How we work
Products are never sold under the holding’s name. Each one has its own brand, its own site and its own voice; Grupo Navatea stands behind them, not in front.
A project gets its own company when its risk, its size or a third party coming in justifies it. Before that, more companies only means more fixed costs.
The architecture and the technical decisions behind each product are made in-house, never delegated. That is what lets us answer fully for what we deliver.
Grupo Navatea’s products are paid for out of what the company bills. Growth is slower, but the group keeps control of what it builds and of when it ships.
Governance
The company is jointly and severally administered by the two people who founded it, holding 50 % each and with clearly separated roles.
Technical leadership (CTO)
Analyses the problems, designs the systems and makes the technical decisions behind every product. Answers for them, Grupo Navatea’s and the clients’ alike.
Operations (COO)
Runs the company, its marketing and the commercial launch of every product. Design, brand identity and the mobile apps all come from the same desk.
