SMOK Ventures focuses on bridging Silicon Valley to Central & Eastern Europe (CEE). They aim to invest in early-stage tech startups in the CEE region and diaspora, particularly those with a global vision and the potential to become industry leaders. The fund is looking for serial entrepreneurs who aim to build multi-million-dollar global software enterprises. They believe that Eastern Europe is at an inflection point, with local entrepreneurs poised to build the next generation of global billion-dollar startups. SMOK Ventures aims to be a supportive, founder-friendly investor and positions themselves as potentially the first and last check a CEE startup needs from the region, emphasizing that most follow-on funding in their startups comes from Western Europe, Silicon Valley, and Asia. They value transparency and fast responses to founders.
