Thesis
Almaz Capital is a global venture capital firm founded in 2008, specializing in early-stage, capital-efficient technology companies, with a focus on disruptive deep tech and B2B software. Their strategy is to leverage engineering talent and innovation from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and adjacent ecosystems, connecting them with the commercial markets and networks of Silicon Valley and broader US and European markets. They target large, defensible problems where proprietary technology and strong engineering talent can create sustainable advantages. The firm has managed multiple funds, with cumulative AUM of approximately $463 million. Their investment ticket size typically ranges from $1 million to $20 million, with a strong preference for early-stage investments (38% Seed, 44% Series A, 18% Series B and later). Sector concentration includes B2B SaaS, Data/Analytics, Cybersecurity, and Industrial/Robotics, with interests in AI/ML, Blockchain, IoT, and Edge Computing. While historically investing in companies with ties to Russia, they ceased new investments in Russia in March 2014 and Belarus, shifting focus to the CEE region and supporting Ukraine-based startups.
