🌟 Catalyst Romania celebrated the thriving Romanian investment ecosystem at ROPEA Awards 🌟 Last night, we participated at the ROPEA event that brought together VC and PE funds, institutional investors, advisors, industry experts, investment professionals, and companies. It was a evening dedicated to the strength and maturity of the Romanian investment ecosystem. Catalyst Romania was nominated for the most active VC Fund Manager category, while our portfolio company ESX was nominated among the top 3 best-performing companies owned by a VC Fund, reflecting their remarkable growth and success. SmartBill exit was among the top 3 companies that were in the race for Deal of the Year. As the first VC Funds in Romania (the first Romanian VC Fund (and also the first Romanian second generation VC Fund), we’re proud to see how the ecosystem has evolved, and a big contributor for this development is the European Investment Fund (European Investment Fund (EIF)). EIF has supported nearly 20 funds in Romania, including our own Catalyst Romania Fund I through the Jeremie Initiative and Catalyst Romania Fund II through InnovFin Equity and Jeremie Reflows. Last evening we were also encouraged by the interest and commitment from other key institutions like IFC and EBRD to further support the VC and PE landscape, whose involvement is critical for sustaining local innovation. For Catalyst Romania, 2024 has been an exceptional year: 🚀2 new investments: Leanpay and Adapta Robotics 📈3 follow-on rounds: SeedBlink, Code Of Talent, and Hunch. 💡3 successful exits: SmartBill, Vola.ro (ITH) and 123FormBuilder—milestones that highlight the strength of our portfolio and strategy. We’re excited about what 2025 holds and remain committed to being a pillar of the Romanian VC industry. The thriving ecosystem has fostered co-investments, better financing for startups, and a growing community of talented professionals who bring immense value to the economy. This progress has helped Romanian companies expand into Europe while nurturing local talent and know-how. Congratulations to all the winners, and here’s to an even brighter future for innovation and entrepreneurship in Romania! 🚀 #VentureCapital #PrivateEquity #CatalystRomania #EIF #IFC #EBRD #InvestmentEcosystem #Innovation #technologyInvestment

Slush 2024: A Wrap-Up of Innovation and Opportunity 🌟 Last week, 3TS Capital Partners attended Slush 2024, one of the world's leading startup and technology events in Helsinki. With 13,000+ attendees, including 5,000 founders and operators, Slush serves as a global hub for connecting with visionaries, fostering partnerships, and exploring groundbreaking ideas. This year’s theme, Metamorphosis: A Call for Radical Transformation, highlighted the importance of bold change and innovation across industries. 🎤 Key insights from the event: · Chris Malachowsky (NVIDIA): “Good judgment is the result of experience, and experience is the result of bad judgment.” Success requires a mindset of learning through trial and error, and product design is a team sport. · Dylan Field (Figma): “With AI, we need to lower the floor and raise the ceiling simultaneously.” This approach enables inclusivity while pushing the boundaries of creativity. · Nik Storonsky (Revolut): Emphasized the importance of keeping core capabilities in-house and the balance between rapid scaling and compliance. · ElevenLabs' Mati Staniszewski: “The best founders win by doing, not overthinking.” Rapid iteration is key to staying ahead in a competitive landscape. 💡 Slush is not just about networking—it's about serendipity, where meaningful conversations spark transformative collaborations. Looking forward to implementing these learnings and driving innovation together. See you at #Slush2025! 🚀 #Slush2024 #Innovation #Networking #Startups #Investment
