More about us 💪
👉 We partner with ambitious CEE and Ukrainian founders who build global software companies in a lean way, leveraging the plentiful tech talent from the region.
👉 We have created one of the largest product tech companies in Ukraine. Now, we help others do the same by investing up to $1.5M at pre-seed and seed stages.
👉 We've seen it all: cash gaps, salary delays, layoffs, failed projects, bank account blocks, COVID, and even war. We are the partners you want by your side, especially during the darkest days.
👉 More than 75% of our founders call us the most helpful VC on their cap table. We use all our practical experience and resources to help them raise Series A: 55% of our companies have already got there (and counting).
👉 We work with dollar-DNA founders: execution-oriented leaders who base all decisions on data to impact the unit economics.

Our philosophy 🦉
In December 1903, the Wright brothers did it right — their Flyer I became the first plane to take off and land successfully.
Today, at Flyer One Ventures, we invest in doers — extraordinary founders like the Wright brothers who are not scared of setting ambitious goals, building complex products, and solving big global problems.
