philinnovation

We don't just advise. We build, invest, and grow alongside you.

A boutique venture studio operating from Madrid and Mexico City — where strategy, capital, and execution compound into momentum.

Our Beliefs

Four convictions that shape how we work.

01

Strategy without execution is theater.

We work alongside founders, not above them. We design plans we'd run ourselves — and then we run them.

02

Capital without operators is just money.

Every check we write comes with hands-on support. Every founder we mentor has access to capital. The two aren't separable — and we don't pretend they are.

03

The best founders aren't born. They're built.

Through TrepCamp, Oxentia, and direct advisory, we put thousands of hours into developing the operators we'd want to back five years from now.

04

Madrid is our base. The world is our scope.

Cross-border isn't a vertical for us — it's the lens through which we build. From Spain to LATAM, from medtech to hospitality, the bet is always operator quality over category hype.

Eduardo Lebrija facing a wall of post-it notes from a strategic session — Founder & CEO of Phil InnovationEduardo Lebrija — Founder & CEO

Operated by operators

Phil is run by people who've done this themselves.

Behind every good strategy there's a wall like this one — thousands of ideas, and the discipline to ship only the ones that matter. Eduardo founded Phil after a decade on this side of the wall: building, scaling, and exiting startups across Madrid and Mexico City. Today he serves as Entrepreneur in Residence at TrepCamp, mentors AI startups at Oxentia, and advises founders directly through Phil Academy. The team behind Phil isn't here to give advice from the sidelines — we've stood in rooms like this one, run those sessions, and built the things we now help others build.
