e2vc is a venture capital firm founded in 2016 focused on backing early-stage tech founders with global ambition. The firm operates with a clear thesis: invest early in founders from Emerging Europe building world-class companies for international markets.
e2vc announced the first close of its €100 million Fund III in January 2026. This latest vehicle continues its strategy of investing in breakout early-stage teams from Emerging Europe. Already, the fund has committed to over 10 portfolio companies, signaling an aggressive deployment pace.
Backed by 50+ limited partners, Fund III builds on the momentum and learnings of the first two funds, which produced four unicorns from a total of 50+ investments. Fund III reflects both the firm’s rising profile in European venture and its ability to move quickly in competitive rounds. e2vc is especially focused on companies that can raise global capital and scale beyond their home markets.
