Total combined assets under management
From idea to scale: we back founders from early stages (AYMO AC Fund) through growth stages (AYMO VC Fund)
Early-stage capital up to €300k, giving founders the resources they need to validate, build, and accelerate
Growth capital for companies with strong revenue, proven traction, and global ambitions
AYMO VC partners with founders with proven products that are ready to scale. We provide more than capital - offering strategic guidance, commercial insight, exit expertise and access to a network that helps founders expand faster and smarter.
We invest in high-growth companies with validated products, strong market traction, and clear paths to international scale. We look for category-defining founders with proven execution, sound unit economics, and scalable business models across multiple sectors.
Supporting and working alongside exceptional founders from the very beginning of their journeys. We back ambitious entrepreneurs who are ready to turn their vision into real businesses and provide the guidance, capital, and network to help them grow their businesses to the next level.
We invest in pre-seed and seed-stage companies led by passionate, committed teams building solutions with global potential. Startups are typically pre-revenue, with an early-stage product and minimal market traction.
The AYMO Accelerator Programme is designed for early-stage founders ready to sharpen their business model, validate their product, and build the foundations for scale. We offer a structured program to accelerate growth and readiness for investment. Throughout the program, selected startups gain access to:
The program will take place twice a year in cities across Croatia, with each cohort ending with a Demo Day, where founders present their progress to investors and potential partners. Our goal is to give each startup the knowledge, network, and confidence to take the next big step on their journey.
Our process starts with a quick review of your pitch to understand the team, problem, and opportunity. If there’s a strong fit, we move into a series of focused conversations to get to know the team, explore your product, market, traction, and long-term vision. For accelerator-stage companies, this process is fast and lightweight; for growth investments, we conduct targeted commercial, financial, legal, tax and technical due diligence. Throughout the process, we aim to be transparent, constructive, and respectful of your time.
Our goal is to move efficiently. Accelerator investments are typically decided within 2-4 weeks, depending on the completeness of materials. Growth-stage decisions may take longer due to deeper due diligence, but we prioritise speed and keep founders informed at every step.
A strong pitch clearly communicates the problem, your solution, why now, who the founders are, and what traction you’ve achieved so far. We also look for evidence of customer demand and a large enough market to support significant growth. Above all, we value clarity, honesty, and the ability to articulate your vision with conviction.
We are sector agnostic, with the exception of activities excluded or restricted under applicable EIF, EU, and HBOR guidelines.
We primarily invest in startups that have the majority of their operations running out of Croatia. We also invest in companies from the wider SEE region - including Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania - provided they plan on opening a subsidiary in Croatia and make Croatia a meaningful part of their operations.
Founders at the idea, pre-seed/seed or early product stage who are building innovative solutions with strong market potential. You don’t need full traction yet - we look for ambition, clarity of vision, early validation signals, and the grit to execute.
Under the EU De Minimis Regulation, the Accelerator Fund can invest up to €300,000 in a company. This amount is reduced by any other de minimis aid the startup has received over the previous 36 months. Before investing, we work with founders to confirm their de minimis status and ensure full compliance with EU rules.
Startups gain access to early-stage capital, hands-on guidance from experienced mentors and operators, tailored support toward product-market fit, and potential entry into our broader VC platform as they scale. Startups also join our AYMO community of founders, partners, and industry experts.
Yes. We reserve capital for follow-on investments in the most promising companies, whether they come through our accelerator or enter directly into the VC Fund. Our goal is to support founders through multiple stages of growth, from early validation to international scaling.
