A UK family office backing the materials of a circular economy — recycled paper, recycled plastic and responsibly sourced wood.
We don't borrow from the next generation. We invest for them.
Tomas, Marga and Daniel Mateos Werner grew up between the UK and Europe, raised on a simple idea: build things that outlast you.
So they pooled the family's capital behind one conviction — the most durable returns come from businesses that close the loop, turning waste back into worth.
We move slowly on purpose. We measure success in forests left standing and tonnes kept out of landfill, not just in pounds returned.
Our thesis is deliberately narrow. Three materials, each one where circularity isn't a marketing line — it's the business model.
Fibre that lives many lives. We back the mills and converters turning recovered paper into packaging — sparing the forests that virgin pulp consumes.
From waste stream to feedstock. We fund the sorting and reprocessing that keeps polymers in use — and out of the ocean.
Renewable, when stewarded well. We back sustainable forestry and engineered wood — a material that stores carbon while it builds.
Not a fund with a family name attached — a family, investing as one.
Tomas holds MBAs from Columbia Business School (USA), London Business School (UK) and ESADE (Spain), a Master's degree from the Community of European Management Schools (France), a Graduate degree in Law from UIB (Spain) and a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Buckingham (UK). Before establishing Werner Capital he worked for HSBC, Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank.
Daniel is a Graduate in Economics and Business Administration from the University of Barcelona (Spain) and continued his studies at London Business School (UK) and the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He has worked for Deloitte, RisoKagaku and Amadeus IT Group.
Marga is a Graduate in Law from the University of Barcelona (Spain) and continued her legal studies at the University of Heidelberg (Germany). Before joining Werner Capital, Marga was in-house lawyer at Renta Corporación, a Spanish listed developer, and previously a lawyer with international law practice Prat & Roca (Barcelona, Spain).
We partner with founders across recycled paper, plastic and sustainable wood. If your work closes the loop, write to us.
