The EV II fund is a 70m€ Venture Capital fund that invests in innovative companies in Series A & B stage. The fund has a focus on Fintech and Beyond Banking sectors, including financial technology, RegTech, cybersecurity, mobility, energy, agriculture, and more. The fund targets investments in Central and Eastern Europe, which is an emerging startup ecosystem with amazing talent and founders but lacks the attention and funding resources of more mature regions. The fund has a commitment from RBI, Raiffeisen-Holding Niederösterreich-Wien, and Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark, and has previously invested in a portfolio of 15 companies, including investment banking, e-signature & identification, and RegTech companies, among others. The main goal of Elevator Ventures is to earn a financial return for its investors. In addition, they want to contribute to the strategy of the banks and engage with high-growth companies whose business models might be changing the industry dynamics in the mid- to long term. The fund also cooperates with international co-investors and has decided to invest in a Fund of Funds and other VC funds alongside Raiffeisen-Landesbank Steiermark, and Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich. The fund also believes in the transformative power of technological shifts that enable high-growth companies to drive customer value and reshape industries. They are driven by a sector focus that encompasses not only Fintech but also Beyond Banking, which includes platform-based business approaches in various service areas. Elevator Ventures also plans to continue to promote innovation in the region with the backing of its LP base.
