REPORT / Q3 2026 UPDATE / DATA TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2026
Bosnia and Herzegovina startup funding report
No Bosnian and Herzegovinian startup announced a venture round in the first nine months of 2026. Since January 2024 the record holds one round, raising €3.2m.
Funding data for Bosnian and Herzegovinian startups is scattered. Rounds are announced by companies, funds, angel networks and the press, often months after they close, and no single database has them all or has them right.
This report builds one record from all of them. We cross check startup databases against company, investor and press announcements, take out grants and loans that are reported as rounds, and add the rounds that were never fully recorded.
It covers venture rounds and exits of startups headquartered in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of startups that started here and moved their headquarters abroad. It uses the same record and rules as our CEE startup funding report, so Bosnia and Herzegovina can be set against the ten countries it covers.
We add a quarter every three months. If you are raising in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it shows how many rounds close, at what size, and who writes the first cheques.
Highlights
No round in the first nine months of this year or last.
No rounds in the first nine months of this year or last. Small rounds are often announced late, or not at all, so the count is a floor.
No venture-backed exits by September, against none in the same months of 2025.

09 / METHODOLOGY
Methodology
What the report covers
Period: January 2024 to September 2026. Past years are shown in full. The current year runs to the end of the last complete quarter.
Companies: startups headquartered in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and startups that began there or keep their main team there and later moved their headquarters abroad. Every kind of startup is included: software and hardware, business and consumer.
Events: venture funding rounds, and exits (acquisitions, buyouts and stock market listings).
Sources: public sources only, namely startup databases, company, investor and angel network announcements, and the press.
Every round and exit named in the report links to its announcement. Totals, changes and charts are built from all rounds and are not linked.
This edition covers 1 venture rounds (1 with a disclosed amount) at 1 companies, and 0 exits. Next update: January 2027, adding Q4 2026.
Stages
Stages are the label the company announced or the source assigned. Where a label clearly does not fit the size of the round, such as a very large round called seed, the round is placed by its size. Where there is no label, round type and size decide.
How it is counted
- Funding rounds are equity and convertible venture rounds, including angel network rounds. Grants, loans, state support programmes, crowdlending, secondary sales and investments after a listing are not counted.
- Amounts are in euros, converted at about 1.10 US dollars to the euro. Rounds without a disclosed amount count toward the number of rounds but not toward capital.
- Companies that are not startups are left out even when they raise venture money, such as established manufacturers, service firms and lenders.
- Rounds and exits are cross-referenced against company, investor and press announcements where possible.
Limits
- Public data does not capture every round, so counts are a floor. Small angel rounds are the most likely to be missing.
- Some rounds are recorded months after they happen. Each update adds them to the month they happened in, so recent quarters, the latest above all, will rise.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina's record includes our own search of local press, investor portfolios and companies based abroad (October 2026), which added rounds the startup databases had missed.
- Where a country raises a few dozen rounds a year, one round can move a total by more than half. Read changes in capital with the largest round in mind.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina's record was built in October 2026 from the investors active in Bosnian and Herzegovinian startups, their portfolios and posts, and the press. It holds most of the disclosed capital, but small rounds that were never announced are missing more often than in the ten countries of our CEE report.
