About
DOMiNO Ventures is a venture capital fund focusing on high-tech, pure-digital and first-day global startups with strong origins in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus. We are backing founders who are solving new problems of the modern world in AI, Deeptech, Cleantech and beyond, helping them realize their global ambitions to create DOMiNO Effect for Better Future.
Investment approach
- Thesis
- What sets DOMiNO apart is our belief that world-class founders can come from anywhere and the future will be built by those bold enough to bridge worlds. We back diaspora and frontier founders building from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, often quietly, far from the spotlight and help them scale into global leaders. We don’t wait for consensus. We spot the edge. We commit early. And when we do, we bring our platform, our people, and our playbooks to help multiply momentum, not just capital. We’re not just investors, we’re ecosystem builders. We’re not in the business of chasing trends. We’re here to spark movements, one founder at a time. We don’t just write checks. We activate conviction, unlock ecosystems, and create the DOMiNO Effect for Better Future.Source (opens in a new tab)
- Leads rounds
- Sometimes
- Lead policy
- We often co-lead or follow strong leads but we never fly solo.
- Reserves policy
- We reserve over 60% of our fund for follow-ons, so we’re not just there for the first round.
- Eligibility
- We back high-tech, pure-digital, and first-day global startups with strong origins in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.
- Traction requirement
- We look for first-day global thinkers with international focus, in-house tech capabilities, and lean teams with the potential to reach a minimum $10M ARR with less than 50 team members within 5 years.
- Investing status notes
