Listed A to Z after the publisher; the list is a group with one bar, not a ranking. A round counts once per investor whether it led or followed.
HOW THIS LIST IS MADE
Rounds come from the record behind our CEE startup funding report: announced rounds from public sources, updated every quarter. Pre-seed and seed only; an investor is listed when it took part in 5 or more of those rounds in a company based in one of the ten countries the CEE report covers (Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria). Individual angel investors are left out; angel networks are included. Every name links to that investor’s page with each round behind the count.
BADideas.fund is a pre-seed/ seed fund for founders in CEE, run by founders who have built and sold companies. We publish this list and appear on it under the same bar as everyone else.
