The Recursive asked us about our fundraising journey, so we shared some of the observations and learnings in a short interview. You can read the full piece using the link: https://shorturl.at/1SxCE. I guess the key insight I would like to share is that before you start fundraising, you should ask yourself what your fundraising strategy is, what are you trying to accomplish and how? You can optimize the fundraising strategy for different objectives: time to market, size of fund, preferred type of LPs etc. However, if you cannot clearly state your goals, you can get stuck on the way.

We made it! 💪 Today, we are announcing the first close of our fund – Radix Ventures. It took us a little over 11 months to reach this milestone from the date we announced our cornerstone investor – the EIF. Not a long time? How about 40 months since we began our fundraising back in 2021? Fundraising for VCs is not any easier than it is for startups; perhaps it is even more challenging. Today, we are extremely happy and satisfied with what we have achieved. We also feel tremendous gratitude towards those who helped and supported us on the way. Polish #VC trailblazers such as Marcin Hejka and Tomasz Swieboda who were generous with their feedback and very open to give us guidance, grounded in their own funds’ experience, our investors – the European Investment Fund (EIF), PFR Ventures GreenHub, and over a dozen fantastic tech enthusiasts from across CEE and beyond. Thank you for your trust. Thanks to our legal advisors - Marc van Campen Olivier Wuidar Olga Gridina Rocío García-Santiuste Azcúnaga and Marcin Wierzbicki for helping us clear all the regulatory hurdles. Radix Ventures was set up by a unique team, joined by a common belief that we can do better in #CEE in raising truly disruptive, radically innovative startups. Wojciech Ratymirski, Michał Urbanowski, Marton Szoke, Serhii Sokolenko, Michal Olszacki – thanks for sticking together for the last 4 years. We made it! ❤️ #newproject Małgorzata (Margaret) Walczak Alexandra Delgado, CFA Nicolas Perard David DANA🎗️Maciej Polak Anna Bełcik Zosia Wanat The Recursive Temim Tabakovic Hena Musić Marcus Börner

It was a very impressive event, organized by InnovX and European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) . Thanks for inviting us. We were impressed by the quality of startups, it was much above the average. Let's keep the co-operation going. Daniel Dumitrescu, PhD. Diana DUMITRESCU, PhD. Michal Olszacki

Even though DeepTech startups are under the tech umbrella, they have some particularities. For example, they need to pay much attention to the IP, their scientific approach, but also regulation. 👨🏫 Because of this, investing in DeepTech startups requires a different approach. 👉 “When you deal with research based innovations, you cannot use the same tools. Here you need a thorough evaluation to assess their scientific credibility,” Pawel Bochniarz of Radix Ventures explains in the article below. More about this topic, but also the latest investment trends will be presented at the Zero One Hundred Conferences (PE & VC Platform) in Amsterdam next week. Elena and Teodor will be there, what about you? #deeptech #sciencebased #startupinvestment

I am happy to share with you a recent interview I did for The Recursive. I had an interesting chat with its Editor - Elena Ghiniță about the investment strategy of Radix Ventures and also about the specifics of investing in deep tech startups. I hope you will find it interesting. Elena Ghiniță - thanks for your thoughtful questions. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/gys-TvKC

We are very happy to announce that PFR Ventures has joined us as our investor in our quest to provide venture funding to the most daring #deeptech startups in #CEE. The EUR 10M commitment towards the first close of the fund will enable us to launch our activities very soon - more announcements coming!
