More about us πͺ
π We partner with ambitious CEE and Ukrainian founders who build global software companies in a lean way, leveraging the plentiful tech talent from the region.
πΒ We have created one of the largest product tech companies in Ukraine. Now, we help others do the same by investing up to $1.5M at pre-seed and seed stages.
πΒ We've seen it all: cash gaps, salary delays, layoffs, failed projects, bank account blocks, COVID, and even war. We are the partners you want by your side, especially during the darkest days.
π More than 75% of our founders call us the most helpful VC on their cap table. We use all our practical experience and resources to help them raise Series A: 55% of our companies have already got there (and counting).
πΒ We work with dollar-DNA founders: execution-oriented leaders who base all decisions on data to impact the unit economics.

We've already invested nearly $43 million in 87 startups that we are inspired by and proud of. The list grows each month.
