01 · Thesis & focus

e2vc is an early-stage VC firm. The team behind 500 Emerging Europe rebranded as e2vc in 2024. It backs pre-seed and idea-stage founders from CEE, the Baltics and Turkey with cheques of up to $1M. In January 2026 it announced the first close of its €100M Fund III, which is backed by more than 50 LPs and focuses on software, AI, fintech and gaming. Sources disagree on its HQ: Vestbee calls it Turkey-based, Tracxn says Istanbul and PitchBook says Amsterdam. It also has offices in San Francisco and elsewhere.
