Credo Ventures
Central European early-stage venture firm based in Prague investing across the CEE region.
Credo is the real deal in CEE — they've been building the ecosystem there for over a decade and have the track record to prove it. They're genuinely helpful post-investment, especially with international expansion, and their partners actually know how to build companies. The downside? They're hyper-focused on their region, so if you're not CEE-connected or don't fit their geographic thesis, you're probably wasting your time. They move slower than Silicon Valley funds but are way more thoughtful about long-term value creation.
