Raw Ventures

Raw Ventures is an investment firm that operates as a "house of innovators," backing original ideas and disruptive companies. The firm focuses on early-stage ventures across MediaTech, HealthTech (including Digital Health, Medical Devices, and BioTech), and Sustainability sectors. They aim to support companies ready to transition from proven technology to practical impact, particularly in reimagining how stories are created, shared, and experienced in MediaTech, and addressing critical needs in healthcare.

Founded in 2021, Raw Ventures distinguishes itself by providing evergreen capital, hands-on, AI-powered advisory, and talent development. They view themselves as a living ecosystem where capital, people, and knowledge move freely, fostering an environment where innovation is nurtured and designed for lasting impact, rather than quick exits. This philosophy is rooted in the belief that the best companies are not built in isolation, but within interconnected environments.

Raw Ventures has invested in a diverse portfolio of companies. Notable investments include Stackt, Mettis AI, Fraiya, Inflammatix, Sync.MD, iFAST Diagnostics, Zelectra, and Vindome. They also mention Balena in their news section. These investments span various industries, from diagnostic solutions for systemic infections and personal health record management to online marketplaces for wine and other services.

The firm's team includes key individuals such as Victoria Palatnik, CEO and Managing Partner, and David Rose, Chief Strategy Officer. The broader team, which includes Vitali Kivmann and Alexey Ratner, is involved in providing hands-on, AI-powered advisory and talent development. Raw Ventures emphasizes investing in people through initiatives like their Talent Hub and BrightMinds Academy, which offer programs for emerging operators, innovators, and creators, preparing them for roles in startups and venture capital.
