Investment Thesis

Purple Ventures invests in early-stage purpose-driven technology startups with initial revenue and global ambitions, primarily in the CEE+ region. The firm is founded by entrepreneurs and ex-founders who understand the challenges of building global businesses from scratch. They believe in collaborative partnerships, emphasizing that founders should own, drive, and manage their startups while benefiting from minority equity stakes and support from experienced investors.

What Sets Them Apart

Experienced team: All partners are ex-founders with multiple successful exits
Collaborative co-investing: Happy to lead up to 50% of rounds or co-invest with angels and other VCs
Transparent, straightforward process with no-BS relationships
Active strategic support beyond capital: product, GTM, PR, hiring, strategy, and trusted mentorship
Global network ecosystem with synergies across portfolio companies
Focus on founders' wellbeing: 'Enjoying the journey and the results, together'
