Prague-based ZAKA launches new 15M VC fund - Silicon Canals
Briefly

The US ecosystem remains in our interest, and we plan to enhance our presence there. It produces highly competent and motivated founders and offers a huge market to conquer. This is why the investment returns are extremely compelling, despite higher valuations compared to the CEE region, states Jan Kasper, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of ZAKA.
ZAKA VC started as a family office investing private money in pre-seed and seed startups, now grown into a team with 55+ invested companies worldwide and €11M invested. The fund focuses on B2B software, AI in B2B, biotech, and health tech, targeting US and EU startups.
Unlike most CEE-based funds, ZAKA explores and funds the European diaspora in the US, US-based teams, or CEE-based teams aiming to scale to the US. The creation of their first venture capital fund was driven by external investor demand to co-invest alongside ZAKA.
