- Yope
Participated · Series A · Jul 2026
Yope builds a social app centered on small, private "micro communities" where users share photos, videos, messages and soon play mini-games, with accounts private by default and no algorithmic feed. The company emphasizes an AI-native approach that uses AI for connection features and mini-games rather than content generation. Yope has nearly 15 million registered users who collectively share between 10 million and 20 million pieces of content daily, and the company reports that more than 50% of users open the app at least five days per week. Around 20% of active users have invited older family members to join, indicating cross-generational adoption. The current team is about 35 people, the product has been in its present form for roughly two years, and the company has undergone two prior pivots.
- Ingenix
Participated · Seed · Jun 2026
Ingenix was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Warsaw. The company develops the Biological Reasoning Engine, an AI system built on a Modality Fusion architecture that integrates best-in-class models across modalities and biological scales and reasons across their representations. Outputs from the Engine include a reasoning trace that lays out mechanism, evidence, and caveats alongside conclusions for translational and clinical R&D decision-making. Ingenix said the Engine produced candidate ADC payload combinations for an oncology biotech in minutes, including novel hypotheses and several actionable candidates. The company plans to broaden work with pharma and biotech partners through a newly launched Qualified Access Program. Financially, Ingenix raised a €13m seed-extension round led by Sofinnova Partners with participation from Inovo VC and OTB VC to scale the Engine and expand partner engagements.
- Viktor
Participated · Series A · May 2026
Founded in 2023 and led by Fryderyk Wiatrowski and Peter Albert, Viktor provides an AI coworker that operates via Slack and Teams to perform tasks for companies. The solution connects to more than 3,000 workplace tools, including Google Drive, Meta Ads, Airtable and Notion, and is used to create reports, dashboards, apps, campaigns, code and recurring automations. Viktor sells access to an AI that can be used by anyone in a company and claims it saves companies millions of dollars. The company is based in Warsaw and Munich and also maintains an office in New York City. Following the $75M Series A, Viktor plans to accelerate its global rollout and expand product capabilities.
- GRAI
Led · Seed · Apr 2026
GRAI develops consumer-facing AI music products designed to make music interaction social and participatory rather than focused solely on generative creation. Its current products include the iOS remixing app Music with Friends and an AI music playground for Android, which the company uses to gather consumer feedback. GRAI has built its own taste and participation graph and is developing a derivatives pipeline and real-time audio systems to preserve original-track identity while allowing transformations. The founders are Belarusian and previously sold the video app VOCHI to Pinterest; the CEO Ilya Liasun is based in Poland. GRAI aims its products at Gen Z and Gen Alpha users and is working with artists and labels to create an opt-in framework for remixing that could generate new royalty streams. Financially, the company has secured $9 million in seed funding to advance its product roadmap and infrastructure.
- Saltz
Participated · Series A · Mar 2026
Saltz provides a browser- and mobile-based platform that consolidates supplier catalogues, purchasing, payments, and logistics for the food-service industry. By eliminating traditional intermediaries, the service gives restaurants clearer pricing and simpler procurement workflows. The marketplace currently spans 20 countries and offers chefs access to thousands of fresh and frozen meat and seafood SKUs from vetted suppliers. Saltz’s founding team previously built B2B marketplaces at Oberlo and Shopify and identified the food sector’s lack of infrastructure for direct, cross-border trade. With its new capital, the company intends to accelerate European expansion and enhance the technology underpinning international transactions. Hiring across engineering, product, sales, and operations is also planned as the platform scales.
