Thank you to our partners, founders, and everyone who followed along this year. For reading, reacting, commenting, challenging us, and supporting the work.
Here’s a small final post of 2025. This is what Flyer One Ventures has done and achieved so far.
Key moves and milestones
In 2025, Flyer One Ventures made ten new investments, launched a €50 million fifth fund, and completed an exit with U.S.-based Triumph Financial acquiring Greenscreens.ai.
New investments included memoryOS, Limitless, and Heizma, with their rounds joined by global firms such as Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Greylock Partners, and Speedinvest.
Over seven years, F1V has invested $46 million in 97 companies. In 2025, eight portfolio startups raised more than $110 million. F1V also made three follow-on investments.
Fund V and a broader CEE focus
This year, Flyer One Ventures launched Fund V at €50 million. The fund will back pre-seed and seed startups from Central and Eastern Europe over the next five years.
The fund is backed by the International Finance Corporation and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
EBRD committed €6.5 million, with the option to increase the commitment to €10 million, while IFC committed €5 million.
Flyer One Ventures is now a Central and Eastern Europe-focused fund with a much stronger international footprint.
The current investment pipeline includes more than 1,300 founders from Ukraine and the region building companies globally.
Portfolio highlights and plans
We’re proud of our portfolio founders, and 2025 gave us many moments to celebrate together.
Among key portfolio milestones in 2025, Liki24.com expanded operations to fifty countries, up from nine a year earlier.
Fintech Farm joined the global Endeavor network. Deskree and Competera were named among the twenty-five most promising tech companies by Forbes Ukraine.
In 2026, Flyer One Ventures plans to sharpen investment efficiency and increase focus on pre-seed companies. Core priorities remain enterprise SaaS, health tech, construction, logistics, AI, and fintech.
That was our 2025.
Wishing everyone great celebrations and fresh energy to kick off 2026!
