About Us
U.Ventures is a venture fund established by UMAEF (originally known as Western NIS Enterprise Fund). Since its inception, UMAEF invested over $190 million in 143 companies employing about 27,000 people. The Fund also provided anchor investments for Horizon Capital’s Emerging Europe Growth Fund (EEGF), EEGF III, and HCGF IV, unlocking $2.4 billion of total capital for Ukrainian and Moldovan companies over a 29-year tenure. We back visionary founders from the earliest stages, partnering with bold entrepreneurs who are not afraid to challenge the status quo. We see immense potential in investing in Ukrainian founders and are committed to helping them succeed on the global stage. We’re category-agnostic, investing equally across the enterprise and consumer landscapes. Our portfolio companies have secured over $200 million in additional funding and now reach over 10 million customers in 90+ countries. We’ve made early investments in some of the most promising Ukrainian early stage companies such as Haiqu, NewHomesMate, Mate Academy, DressX, Esper Bionics, Turnkey Lender, and many more.
