Investment thesis
ZAS Ventures focuses on the earliest-stage startups emerging from Ukraine and the broader CEE region, a tech ecosystem the team knows intimately. Founded by a Ukrainian-American group of founders and operators turned investors, the firm brings global capital, an expert advisor network, and hands-on mentorship to local founders. It invests across verticals and supports companies with strategic audits, coaching, go-to-market traction, and connections to later-stage investors. The firm reserves capacity for follow-on funding to sustain companies through subsequent rounds, positioning itself as a long-term partner focused on helping resilient regional teams succeed in the US market.
