CEE’s startup moment is here. The numbers tell the story: Central and Eastern Europe’s share of total European investment value rose from 1.9% in 2023 to 2.2% in 2024. But the real momentum isn’t just in the funding - it’s in the founders. A new generation of entrepreneurs is stepping up: globally ambitious, capital-efficient, and inspired by breakout successes like Bolt and Vinted. Many cut their teeth inside global scaleups and are now building their own category-defining companies in AI, fintech, and deeptech. As our VP Ewa Kompowska writes in her latest piece, CEE is no longer just an “emerging” region - it’s an evolving one. And the most overlooked founders in Europe may also be its most resilient. At RTP, we believe a wave of global leaders is being built in CEE - and we’re proud to be backing them from the ground up.
