Exits
Companies Smok Ventures backed that were sold or listed, or where a new investor bought out the earlier ones. Each links to its announcement.
No exits on record.
How this list is made
- A round is listed when a company, investor or press announcement, or a startup database, names Smok Ventures among its investors. Each listed round links to its announcement where one is on record.
- Amounts are the size of the whole round, not the part Smok Ventures invested. Amounts are in euros, converted at about 1.10 US dollars to the euro.
- Stages follow the funding reports: the label the company announced, placed by size where the label clearly does not fit.
- Rounds that were never announced, or that do not name their investors, are not here, so the list is a floor.
The whole market: CEE startup funding report. Next update: January 2027.
