Investment thesis
Asternova Vest is a regional venture capital fund targeting Western Romania's next generation of tech founders. It writes initial and follow-on checks of €500k to €4M into Seed and Series A companies building from Romania toward global markets. The €37M closed-end fund is anchored by a €26M public commitment from ADR Vest, securing roughly 70% before private capital enters. It combines three institutions: French AIFM Aster Capital (Paris), regional innovation platform Iceberg, and venture-building engine Venture Booster. Governance, risk and compliance sit separately from portfolio management per AIFMD standards, with decisions running through an Investment Committee at Aster. The approach emphasizes conviction, institutional governance, fair terms, and experienced operators.
