Venture to Future Fund
VC Fund
Bratislava, Slovakia (Slovak Republic)
Venture to Future Fund is a joint initiative of EIB, the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic, and the Slovak Investment Holding. It is the first venture capital fund of its kind in the CEE region that has lured EIB´s capital. We like hi-tech scaleups, however our focus is more generalistic. Our approach is more comprehensive and whatcounts the most is the innovation level, the overall uniqueness of the presented solution, and, of course, a skilled team with excellent execution power.We look for SMEs (Seed, Series A and beyond)) with at least a partially functioning and viable product that has been proved on the market and has first paying customers or signed contracts for the upcoming months.The minimum ticket is €0,5 million, average participation ranges from €1.5 – 2 million. We always invest alongside independent private co-investors based on the pari passu principle (50:50). Primary choice of preference are Slovak-incorporated SMEs or EU companies with capital link to Slovakia.
