    El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar los principales criterios en la selección de un proyecto por parte de los fondos de capital riesgo de impacto (FCRI) y establecer un ranking que indique la importancia relativa de los mismos en la decisión final. Para alcanzar este objetivo se ha utilizado la metodología exploratoria, con entrevistas semiestructuradas en profundidad y análisis de informes de Due Diligence, así como la metodología descriptiva para analizar los resultados obtenidos. Dichos resultados permiten concluir que los criterios relativos al Impacto, desde la perspectiva de solucionar problemas reales y con gran potencial de cambio, y al Equipo, desde el liderazgo y la experiencia, son los más determinantes para los FCRI en España. Además, se observa una notable variabilidad de puntuaciones entre los FCRI para algunos criterios, lo que refleja la falta de consenso en cuanto a la selección de ciertos criterios en el ecosistema.

    The objective of this work is to identify the main criteria in the selection of a project by impact venture capital funds (IVCFs) and to establish a ranking that indicates the relative importance of these criteria in the final decision. To achieve this objective, an exploratory methodology has been used, with semistructured in-depth interviews and analysis of Due Diligence reports, as well as a descriptive methodology to analyze the results obtained.

    These results allow us to conclude that the criteria related to Impact, from the perspective of solving real problems with great potential for change, and Team, from the perspective of leadership and experience, are the most decisive for the IVCFs in Spain. In addition, there is a notable variability of scores among the IVCFs for some criteria, which reflects the lack of consensus regarding the selection of certain criteria in the ecosystem
