Background
Güil Mobility Ventures is a Spanish venture capital fund specialising in sustainable urban mobility and clean transport companies. Based in Spain, the fund invests across European markets in startups developing technologies and services that address urban transport emissions, congestion and accessibility.

Güil participates in pan-European mobility syndicates, co-investing with funds from the UK, France and other European markets. Its geographic focus reflects Spain's growing role as a hub for mobility innovation, particularly in Barcelona and Madrid where e-scooter and e-bike operators have run major regulated pilots since 2019. The fund's international co-investments allow it to access markets beyond Spain while keeping a sector-specific thesis.
Güil Mobility Ventures participated in Forest's £40m Series B in April 2026 alongside B8 Venture Partners and Fen Ventures, with £10m of debt from Fintex Capital and a minority OKAI stake. For a Spanish mobility VC, the Forest investment is a cross-border bet on the London e-bike market, one of the most competitive micro-mobility markets in Europe.
