Investment thesis
Prodeko Ventures supports high-growth-oriented startups with a close affiliation to the Prodeko community, requiring Prodeko members or alumni in key roles, a committed full-time team, a scalable business model with international potential, a professional lead investor in the round, and potential for follow-on funding. Its support is most valuable around a company's first external funding round, typically at pre-seed. The firm backs 3-7 new ventures per year and usually provides early-stage funding via a €25,000–50,000 convertible note commitment, or an equity investment when a professional VC or angel-led syndicate leads the round.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
