PORTFOLIO I Excited to announce that our portfolio company Leanpay closed its Series B financing round, securing an investment of EUR 10 million from BlackPeak Capital and Catalyst Romania, leading growth equity firms in Southeast Europe. 🎊 

Our Managing Partner, Jure Mikuž, remarked, "Developing technologies, which enable traditional industries like consumer lending to get digitalized and more efficient, have always been the core of our strategy. Leanpay is a brilliant example of a company where we've found a perfect match of entrepreneurial ambition and industry expertise - all of which have been brought on board by the three co-founders. They are not looking to reinvent the wheel but rather to explore how to make the ride smoother. And by partnering with new investors, this ride should be even faster and more dominant in the markets Leanpay aims to conquer in the next couple of years."
