Warsaw-based VC firm Movens Capital has launched a €60 million multi-stage Fund 2 to invest in Founders from Central and Eastern Europe at pre-Seed to Series A+ stages.
The fund is supported by the EBRD, PFR Ventures, and over 80 startup Founders, tech operators, and entrepreneurs.
Movens Capital aims to provide capital and operational support for CEE Founders looking to achieve global growth.
The firm, founded in 2018, offers expertise in tech and machine learning, assisting portfolio companies with various aspects of scaling.
Movens' portfolio includes companies like Alokai, Packhelp, SKY ENGINE AI, and Talkie.ai, which have received global VC funding and scaled internationally.
Movens plans to address the funding gap in CEE by backing startups in sectors like enterprise software, AI, FinTech, and healthcare.
Fund 2 will focus on making investments across various countries in the region, including Poland, Hungary, and Ukraine.
Movens is actively investing from Fund 2 and expects to announce deals this summer, targeting sectors like AI infrastructure and climate resilience technologies.
