DEPO VENTURES

DEPO VENTURES operates as a hands-on investment management firm overseeing the DEPO Angel Funds, which currently encompasses 25 innovative portfolio companies. The firm has established a robust international syndicate of investors known as The DEPO Angels, creating a powerful network of capital and expertise. Their investment approach emphasizes active involvement with founders, providing not just funding but strategic guidance, industry connections, and operational support throughout the growth journey.

Focusing specifically on the Central Eastern European and Baltic regions, DEPO VENTURES identifies and nurtures exceptional technology entrepreneurs with high-growth potential. The firm has developed a reputation for recognizing promising early-stage startups in these emerging tech ecosystems, which have historically been underserved by traditional venture capital. Their regional expertise allows them to identify unique opportunities that might be overlooked by larger international investors, while still connecting portfolio companies to global markets.

The investment process at DEPO VENTURES is designed to be streamlined and founder-friendly, removing traditional barriers that technology entrepreneurs often face when seeking capital. By facilitating connections between promising startups and their angel investor network, they create efficient funding pathways that benefit both sides of the investment equation. Their syndicate structure allows individual angels to participate in deals with favorable terms while providing startups with access to a diverse pool of smart capital and industry expertise.

Beyond capital allocation, DEPO VENTURES has built a comprehensive support ecosystem for their portfolio companies, including mentorship programs, strategic partnership opportunities, and internationalization assistance. They typically invest at pre-seed and seed stages, with the capacity for follow-on investments in subsequent rounds. The firm's track record demonstrates their ability to identify high-potential founders early in their journey, with several portfolio companies successfully scaling across European markets and securing additional funding from larger venture capital firms. This hands-on approach to investment management has positioned DEPO VENTURES as a key player in developing the CEE and Baltic startup ecosystem.
