• offUgo

  Participated · Equity · May 2022

  offUgo offers a 100% digital car-rental service aimed at customers in tourist locations, providing an all‑inclusive price with no upselling and a final price guaranteed even in case of accidents. After reservation and online document validation, customers receive a WhatsApp link showing the vehicle’s exact location and can open the car remotely, avoiding interaction with staff. The company emphasizes a seamless, contactless experience and competitive pricing. offUgo plans to use the investment to expand within the island and enter Ibiza, Alicante and Málaga. The startup was founded by Loris Fochesato and Fernando de Miguel Albertí in November 2020 and is based in Palma (Mallorca). Management cites current supply‑chain shortages and inflation driving rental prices up, and says the company is positioning for competitive growth as the market normalizes.

• SkillCore

  Led · Equity · Jan 2022

  SkillCore is a platform that centralizes tools creators need to manage and engage their communities, offering fan-base management, personalized rewards and integrations with YouTube, Twitch, Twitter and Discord. The company differentiates itself by giving creators access to real member data (rather than anonymous handles) and shielding them from unexpected changes in payout policies, enabling better remuneration and independence from social networks. The platform is bilingual (English and Portuguese), supports transactions in BRL, USD, EUR and GBP, and was built with a Privacy by Design approach so supporters control what data they share. SkillCore allows creators to offer personalized experiences and rewards — including planned NFT rewards — to turn followers into superfans. The startup operates entities in both Brazil and Portugal and plans to use investment to develop new features to drive global expansion. Founders Mauricio Daniachi and Thiago Nascimento are quoted on the product’s data and engagement benefits.

• Recoshelf

  Led · Seed · Aug 2021

  Recoshelf builds an IoT/AI surveillance solution for offline retail that combines proprietary hardware (cameras, meters, thermometers) with software to detect empty shelves, monitor crowdedness, and track fridge temperatures. The company supplies its service together with its own hardware rather than relying on clients' existing equipment. Founded by Yaroslav Parkhisenko in January 2020, Recoshelf has one commercial client, several pilot projects in the works, and dozens of potential clients lined up. The startup opened a sales office in London and reports growing interest from retailers there and elsewhere. Recoshelf attracted attention from incubator Demium and the Ukrainian Startup Fund, which praised the team and strategy. The company plans to use new funding to hire additional staff in Ukraine and other locations to meet rising demand.

• HearMe

  Led · Seed · Feb 2021

  HearMe is a Polish mental-healthcare startup that provides company plans allowing employees to speak with qualified psychotherapists via video calls or text chat through its app. The service emphasizes IT-focused specialists but is flexible and serves clients across industries; 17 companies from fields including technology and logistics have already subscribed. HearMe enables anonymous access from employees' phones and reports that 15–20% of employees schedule at least one visit, compared with about 5% penetration for classic EAPs. The founding team (Kasia Gryzlo, Michał Pośnik, and Paweł Pierścionek) developed the MVP in Demium’s incubator and has IT backgrounds that informed the initial focus. In February HearMe raised €100K in a pre-seed round from Spanish venture firm Think Bigger to further develop the product and support international expansion. Plans for the new capital include launching in the UK and building an HR-facing tool informed by client feedback to help shape workplace wellbeing strategies.
