Audeo Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2021 by Pavel Tinkov and Greg Laurent Josi. The firm backs serial entrepreneurs who deeply understand traditional, often overlooked markets, with a focus on reinvigorating foundational industries through modern technology. Audeo operates across the United States and Latin America, with offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Dubai.
Audeo focuses primarily on fintech and consumer finance, targeting companies building in underrepresented markets across the US and LATAM. The firm is drawn to founders with prior operator or founder experience who are applying technology to industries that have historically been underserved by venture capital.
Audeo Ventures Fund II closed at $65 million in March 2026, exceeding its original $50 million target. The fund deploys 70% or more of its capital into US-based companies, with the remainder going to Latin America.
Audeo's LP base spans single and multi-family offices and sovereign entities across multiple geographies. Fund II follows the firm's first fund, which produced two notable exits: X1, acquired by Robinhood, and Caramel, acquired by eBay.
