Investment thesis

SID Venture Partners invests in early-stage startups that already have paid traction and proven market fit, providing not just capital but engineering firepower, agile development resources, AI/blockchain/BigData/ML expertise and access to 200+ enterprise clients. The firm is powered by a collective of established tech companies and is led by Ukrainian tech executives serving as general partners. It is nominally industry agnostic but especially interested in AI, Data, Deep Tech, B2B and FinTech. Geographic focus spans Central & Eastern Europe and global markets, with an average ticket size around $200K aimed at helping portfolio companies scale product and growth from day one.
