Profile

SMOK Ventures invests in early stage startups in Central and Eastern Europe. Our key geography is Poland, but we’ve invested in founders from all over the CEE region: Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Latvia, Bosnia and Czechia.

We prefer to invest in Delaware C-Corp companies with a significant business or workforce in the CEE. We are happy to invest directly in any CEE country that is part of the European Union as well. So far out of 37 investments, 18 are headquartered in Poland, 12 are Delaware C-Corps, 2 are in Estonia and 5 are in other CEE countries.

We are not interested in startups without a significant connection to CEE, i.e. no workforce in CEE, none of the founders is of CEE-origin, and startup is not based in CEE.

Working with an investor is a long-term partnership. We need to be sure we will be able to communicate, help each other out and build awesome things together.
