Investment thesis
DOMiNO Ventures invests in high-tech, pure-digital, first-day global startups led by technically grounded founders originating from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, including diaspora teams. It targets lean teams capable of reaching $10M ARR with under 50 people within five years, focusing on frontier technology and clarity of vision over specific categories. The firm invests from Seed to Series B with initial tickets of roughly €200K to €1M and reserves over 60% of the fund for follow-ons, sometimes backing companies across three rounds. It often co-leads or follows strong leads alongside international VCs and positions itself as a long-term, hands-on ecosystem builder.
