Gapminder Ventures

Gapminder Ventures focuses on igniting the next wave of AI/Deeptech companies born in the SEE (South Eastern European) region and diaspora. They believe the region holds outstanding talent and tech founders capable of building global businesses. They prioritize maximizing upside potential over minimizing risk in a company's early stages, investing in brilliant people and products with the potential for massive scale. The firm invests early, comfortable with the imperfection of startups, and prioritizes teams with ambitious leaders, coachability, and complementary skills. They look for early traction, large addressable markets allowing for significant scale, and a clear global ambition from day one, targeting US, UK or other large markets. They are former operators and entrepreneurs that embrace change, take risks, and trust their instincts, in line with the leadership qualities of their portfolio company founders.
