Venture to Future Fund (VFF)

Venture to Future Fund (VFF) is a Slovak-based venture capital fund focused on supporting innovative Slovak companies with the potential to become leaders in their respective segments and expand globally. VFF emphasizes funding the growth stage of companies, aiming to elevate these businesses to market leadership positions. They operate with a founder-friendly approach, fostering a win-win strategy in their partnerships. VFF seeks to support visionary founders and teams driving innovation across various sectors. The firm prioritizes not only the uniqueness of a product or service but also the scalability of the solution, ensuring the potential for significant global impact. VFF targets small and medium-sized businesses in the growth stage, specifically from later-stage Seed rounds to Series A and B. Companies should have a partially functional product that is viable, market-tested, and has initial paying customers or negotiated contractual relationships. VFF always invests alongside an independent and private co-investor, adhering to the pari-passu principle (50:50 investment amount and equal sharing of benefits and risks). This collaborative approach allows portfolio companies to leverage VFF's investor network for subsequent funding rounds. VFF primarily focuses on Slovak and EU-based ventures with capital links to Slovakia, empowering growth and innovation within the region. The fund has allocated €55 million between 2020 and 2026 to identify and finance promising projects. The fund's lifespan is set at 10 years, during which VFF aims to guide companies towards a successful exit.
