BrightCap Ventures launches a €60m successor fund to invest in founders from Rising SEE! 🚀 Building on their successful first fund, with Fund II BrightCap aims to invest in unique, globally scalable and impactful tech companies born out of Rising Southeastern Europe. The fund focuses on three priority verticals: Future of Work, Digital Health, and Fintech. The majority of initial investment tickets will be aimed at the pre-seed and seed stages, in the €0.4m to €3m range. Noteworthy is their diverse team—BrightCap is one of the very few VCs with a female majority among its General Partners. "BrightCap II is an exciting new step for us - larger scale fund with a wider scope and even greater ambitions than our first. At the same time, our philosophy of working with deeply technical founders with domain expertise and global reach from day one hasn't changed. It keeps us grounded in the AI era where opportunities seem everywhere, but lasting technology winners can be built by few" - comments Georgi Mitov "We are thrilled to continue partnering with incredible entrepreneurs in our region and from the diaspora abroad. The first few investments from Fund II are already in the closing stages and we cannot wait to share what we've been working on once they are finalized.” - says Elina Halatcheva “The tech industry is facing a pivotal moment. With BrightCap II, we have the opportunity to capture the next generation of category-defining companies from our region and nurture them to success. I look forward to bringing my tech enterprise experience in support of SEE startups to scale their businesses and reach global markets.” - adds Diana Stefanova Congratulations to the whole team! 🎉 cc: Dimitar Korsakov Roumen Jordanov Veronika Nacheva
