What you get beyond the check.
Proven Track
Record
Since 2020, we have invested in 107 early-stage startups through Fund I, managing €26M and building one of the most active venture portfolios in Bulgaria. Our companies generate over €50M in annual revenue, supported by a strong co-investor network and early access to high-quality deal flow.
Focused Early-Stage
Strategy
With Fund II, we invest in pre-seed, seed and Series A startups building next-generation solutions with high growth potential. While industry agnostic, we tend toward B2B solutions in AI enablement, automation, commerce, defense, energy sustainability, and financial technologies. We enter early at attractive valuations and apply a structured playbook to drive efficient capital deployment and scalable growth.
Network & Value
Creation Platform
Our team combines deep local market presence with global investment experience. Through strategic support, international investor relationships, and access to corporate and accelerator networks, we position portfolio companies to become regional leaders and attractive acquisition targets.
How we work
More than capital.

Strategic & Operational Support
Beyond capital, we work closely with founders on strategy, hiring, governance, and scaling operations.
Access & Credibility
We open doors to international investors, partners, and customers. Through our global network and market expertise, we accelerate market entry and strengthen each company’s positioning for long-term growth.
