Webcapitalriesgo.com (WCR) is an initiative aimed at contributing to transparency in the financial activities of private capital in Spain, distinguishing between the segments of Private Equity and Venture Capital. The organization was founded based on research conducted since 1986 by José Martí Pellón, a professor at the Complutense University of Madrid. WCR collaborates with the Spanish Association of Capital, Growth, and Investment (SPAINCAP) and has been involved in data collection for the sector for over 30 years.

WCR focuses on two main areas of investment: Private Equity and Venture Capital. Private Equity is aimed at established companies with potential for internal or external growth through capital increases, leveraged buyouts, shareholder replacements, or special situations like turnaround strategies. Venture Capital targets startups with high growth potential, covering various stages from seed funding to later-stage investments. Additionally, WCR collects data on informal venture capital activities, including business angel networks, incubators, accelerators, family offices, and crowdfunding platforms.
