e2vc is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Istanbul, Turkey. The firm invests primarily in startups from Emerging Europe, a region that includes Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, and Türkiye. It was established in 2024 following the rebranding of 500 Emerging Europe, a regional fund previously affiliated with 500 Global.[1]
History
[edit]In November 2024, the team behind 500 Emerging Europe introduced its new identity as e2vc, marking its transition toward an independent structure and a broader focus on early-stage technology companies across the region.[2][3] The original fund had partnered with 500 Global in 2016 and raised a €10 million Fund I between 2016 and 2020.[4] Among its 28 portfolio companies, several achieved unicorn status.[5] A second €70 million fund launched in 2021 to continue investing in high-growth startups from Emerging Europe.[6] The firm remains headquartered in Istanbul and operates across multiple European markets.
Investment approach
[edit]e2vc focuses on early-stage technology startups with global market potential. Its investment strategy emphasizes supporting founders from Emerging Europe who aim to expand into Western markets.[7] The firm has shown particular interest in sectors such as artificial intelligence, developer tools, software infrastructure, fintech, and gaming.[8]
Notable characteristics
[edit]Analysts have noted that startups from Emerging Europe often pursue global expansion early due to the compact size of their domestic markets.[9] Commentators also highlight the resilience of regional founders, who have attracted significant international follow-on funding from global venture capital firms.[10]
Investments
[edit]Publicly available information indicates that e2vc’s portfolio includes companies in areas such as infrastructure software, AI applications, and productivity tools. Its investments have been featured in publications including Tech.eu, Vestbee, and The Recursive.[11][12][13]
