Remarkable Founders we work with:

We see PayMove addressing a massive yet overlooked opportunity in the offline payments market that consistently represents over 90% of global commerce. Their elegantly simple 3-step QR/NFC payment solution demonstrates strong product-market fit with continuous month-over-monthGMV growth and healthy user retention metrics. Led by a proven team with a track record of successfully scaling businesses across the CEE region, PayMove has established partnerships across multiple industries including parking, vending, and municipal services. The QR/NFC payment market in Europe maintains robust double-digit annual growth while remaining highly fragmented with no dominant player. With merchants increasingly seeking frictionless solutions, PayMove is positioned to capture significant market share.

We believe the emerging AI search market represents a massive opportunity. PeecAI has created a functional product in record time that’s winning in-market with paying customers and accelerating quickly. Since launch, the team has moved from early traction to announcing a new funding round, raising a total of €7M (seed led by 20VC with participation from Antler, Foreword VC, Identity.VC, Combination VC, and S20) just months after our first founding. The founding team combines deep technical expertise (former CTOs of major tech companies), sharp business acumen (M&A background), and exceptional execution speed—shipping the first product in under 3 months and scaling rapidly to well beyond $2M ARR. PeecAI is now one of the fastest-growing startups in its category and the clear leader in Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), helping brands measure, benchmark, and grow visibility across AI search platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. We back high-agency founders who move fast in emerging markets—PeecAI’s team embodies this, and we believe they’re building the category-defining AI-native search and analytics platform.

We see Defguard as uniquely positioned in the rapidly expanding VPN market projected to reach $534B by 2034 (22% CAGR). Their platform elegantly solves three critical enterprise challenges simultaneously - secure remote access, identity management, and access lifecycle automation - eliminating the need for multiple tools. With 45 paying customers acquired organically and 2,000+ positive ratings without marketing spend, their product-market fit is evident. The solution addresses growing regulatory demands (NIS2, GDPR) and the rise of hybrid work environments. Led by a deeply experienced team with 20+ years in IT security and enterprise software, Defguard is set to capture significant market share in the underserved mid-market segment (100-1000 employees), creating an attractive acquisition target for larger cybersecurity players.

We see Healthnix addressing a massive underserved market where 42.5 million Americans and Britons suffer from osteoarthritis, representing a $136.8 billion annual economic burden. Their AI-driven precision nutrition platform demonstrates strong early validation through NHS partnerships and acceptance into New York's top-tier Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator. Supported by world-renowned experts Prof. Janusz Jankowski (Oxford) and Prof. Francis Berenbaum (Sorbonne), the team combines deep clinical expertise with proven technology to deliver personalized dietary interventions that target individual inflammatory triggers. With the "Food is Medicine" movement gaining momentum and healthcare systems seeking cost-effective alternatives to pharmaceuticals, Healthnix is positioned to capture significant market share in the rapidly expanding digital health space while delivering measurable patient outcomes.

AI is fundamentally reshaping the $52.7B language learning market. Traditional players and even first-generation apps are facing disruption as AI enables more engaging, personalized, and cost-effective learning experiences. This technological shift creates a unique opportunity for new players to capture significant market share, with the market projected to reach $337.2B by 2032. BeeSpeaker is at the forefront of this transformation, demonstrated by their remarkable growth with strong unit economics. Their AI-powered conversation focus provides a more natural learning experience than grammar-centric apps like Duolingo, while being more accessible than expensive tutor marketplaces.

We believe demand-side flexibility is the future of energy management. As renewable adoption grows, VPP operations and demand response will become crucial for grid stability. The market is projected to grow from $2.1B to $15.8B by 2034. Boldr's approach is particularly compelling because they've made smart energy management accessible to average households in USA, not just luxury homes (starting with California and Texas). Their $150 smart thermostat and user-friendly app make it easy for any homeowner to start saving on energy bills immediately, while also participating in the growing demand response market. This smart product positioning allows them to capture mass-market adoption while building a network of "thermal batteries" that generate $55/kW annually in flexibility services.

While PE firms focus on consolidating physical clinics, Pupilmed is redesigning veterinary care through a hybrid MSO model - providing both technology infrastructure and patient acquisition channels. With the Polish market expected to consolidate from 1% to 60-70% chain ownership, their tech-first approach offers a unique opportunity to capture this transition. The team combines technology (ex-Accenture) and insurance (ex-Allianz) expertise. Their early traction in telemedicine and home visits validates market demand for more convenient pet care delivery, while their managed services model enables veterinarians to operate more efficiently.

The pet care market is experiencing rapid consolidation, with Blackstone's recent $2.3B acquisition of Rover highlighting the sector's potential. We see Petsy as the leading contender to capture the underserved CEE market, where no dominant player has emerged yet. The team combines strategic consulting experience (Bain) with operational excellence, and has already pioneered industry-first features like integrated insurance. With the pet care market growing and increasing pet-related household spending, Petsy is perfectly positioned to become the region's go-to pet care platform.
