Our mission

Regional talent, Western markets.

The region trains world-class engineers and clinicians, but almost no early-stage capital reaches them. We write the first investment, then bring the diligence, mentorship and Western market access that turn regional teams into global companies.

Deep industry expertise

Decades in biotech, digital health and venture capital across the partner team, plus 20+ advisors — from Harvard, Imperial, Apple and IBM — who run diligence with us and stay on as mentors.

A bridge to Western buyers

Based in Manchester, MA, we connect regional innovation to the US and EU healthcare systems actually buying it.

Diaspora network

A large, successful Southeastern European diaspora in the US and Europe that mentors founders, opens doors and co-invests.

What we look for

Five things we read before the call

Pre-seed to Series A in digital health and health tech, anywhere in Southeastern Europe. No specific deck format required — cover vision, business model and growth potential. If four of the five are there, send it.

01

Founding team

At least one founder who has worked inside healthcare — a clinician, an operator, or an engineer who has shipped regulated software.

02

Scalable technology

Software, AI or data that gets cheaper to deliver as it grows.

03

Digital-first

AI care, telemedicine, remote monitoring and provider software — not drug discovery or devices.

04

Market fit

A real cost, utilization or care problem — and you can name the buyer and the budget it comes from.

05

Capital efficiency

The regional cost base turns the same round into a materially longer runway.

06

How we read each one

The full version of these five, plus what happens after you send the deck and what you get from us besides capital.

Why now

Healthcare is buying software. The builders are here.

Hospitals and payers in the EU and US are under pressure to cut cost per patient, and the budget is moving to telemedicine, remote monitoring and clinical AI. That software has to be written by someone.

Southeastern Europe already trains the engineers and clinicians who build it for Western companies. We fund them to build it for themselves.

Why Southeastern Europe

A market Western funds have not priced yet

Digital health in the region sits where Western Europe sat a decade ago — while the EU and the US are actively buying cost-reducing care technology.

Talent

A strong tradition in medical sciences, engineering and IT. Startups run at a fraction of Silicon Valley cost, so every round buys a longer runway.

Entry price

Lower entry valuations than Western Europe or the US, government and EU grants and tax incentives, and few local funds bidding — with syndication open to international investors.

A proven path

The region has already produced globally scaled technology companies, and many Southeastern European startups have expanded West — the path from here to global markets is proven.

The process

From deck to decision in three steps

No warm intro, no committee, no black box. One partner reads what you send and stays with it to the end — and whichever way it goes, you get an answer and the reason behind it.

Step one
