Meet DEPO Ventures

Established in 2016

We have a strong vision. We are building a firm, not just a fund. Early-stage investment is our passion. The last 6 years we spent building an early-stage ecosystem, angel investors community, and co-investors community. Helping promising founders, we have learned a lot and now we are ready to step up and become the leading pre-seed investor in the region.

At the same time, Europe is in need of strong tech backbone. We believe we can maintain the European tech edge through strong tech and entrepreneurship stemming from CEE.
