Startarium
Startarium, the city of entrepreneurs, is the most complex online platform dedicated to entrepreneurs in Romania. It gives them the resources they need to learn how to build successful businesses, to work on their business model, to interact with experts or mentors, and last but not least, to get their business funded, either with the help of crowdfunding platform, investors or within the Startarium PitchDay, an event that offers prizes worth 100,000 Euro cash.
Rubik Hub
Rubik Hub's mission is to develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem of North-East Romania by connecting, educating, empowering people to create successful global businesses. Its bold vision is to achieve a world where people reach the best version of themselves and drive positive impact.
Risky Business
The first pre-seed and accelerator fund in Romania. We invest in relentless founders with bold visions. Risky Business is established to support promising early stage startups with the resources to grow into regional and global, sustainable tech firms. In addition to intensive and high-quality consulting services focused on product development, scaling, and strategy, it also offers financial investment. It is the first structure in Romania targeted towards pre-seed support, and an innovate step forward in supporting the growth and sustaining of Romanian startups.
Catalyst Romania
Catalyst Romania, one of the leading technology-focused venture capital firms in Romania, launched its first EUR 15 million fund in 2012, as the first fund of its type designed for Romania. Managed by a local team based in Bucharest, the fund will continue to make early growth capital investments in SMEs based in Romania and other countries in the region. Our team of highly qualified experts, with entrepreneurial and financial background, become active business partners of the portfolio companies.
Black Sea Capital
Black Sea Capital specialized in mergers, takeovers, management or leveraged buyouts, divestitures, turnaround management and strategy advisory. As a boutique VC firm, we support the founders to get where they want and need to be. Success means not only getting acquired, financing or something like that, but also providing capital effectively to people doing the real work and, most importantly, bringing thoroughness, collaboration and substantial value-add post-investment.
