Hi! My name is Adrian and this is VC in the CEE. Podcast about the venture capital ecosystem in Central and Eastern Europe.

Just 10 years ago venture capital almost did not exist in the CEE region and now it is one of the most common ways of funding startups and technology companies. This podcast is about people who help startup founders turn their ideas and projects into real-live products and solutions. You'll hear here about their investment strategies, opinions about startup ecosystems as well as how they evaluate potential investment opportunities.
