Investment thesis

The firm believes strong founders can emerge anywhere and is dedicated to backing entrepreneurial talent across the Caucasus, Central Asia, Turkiye, and Eastern Europe. Beyond funding, it provides strategic guidance and operational resources to help portfolio companies scale. When assessing founders, it emphasizes scalability (market size and the team's ability to adapt and innovate), endurability (financial stability and resilience through setbacks), and vision (clear long-term direction and the ability to inspire others). It also weighs market potential, team competence and experience, and the pace at which businesses hit key milestones.
