Caucasus Ventures

We help regional founders build global companies.

We write first cheques for post-MVP technology teams across the Caucasus, Türkiye, Eastern Europe and Central Asia — then stay close as they scale.

Where we invest

Four regions, one route to global markets.

Our focus is the Caucasus, Türkiye, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We invest globally when a team from the region is building for the world.

What we look for

A working product and a team that has already started.

Post-MVP only — no idea stage. We look for real traction, domain expertise, a strong engineering core and appetite for markets beyond the region.

How we invest

$50–100K first, up to $200K to follow.

We invest in two tickets. The first cheque ranges from $50,000 to $100,000, with follow-on capital of up to $200,000 as the company proves its next stage.

More than the cheque.

Capital is the easy part. What compounds is the network our founders can reach on day one.

Mentorship

Experience from other industries

Operators and investors who have built in adjacent markets, sharing what already worked.

Connection

Introductions that open markets

Access to local and regional buyers through a partner network built over years, not weeks.

Networking

Synergy across the portfolio

Founders who sell to, hire from and learn from each other — the fund is the connective tissue.
