In this episode of the EU-Startups Podcast we’re catching up with Alex Pavlov, Partner at RTP Global.
RTP Global is a leading early-stage venture capital firm with a global footprint, dedicated to backing innovative founders who leverage technology to transform industries. Earlier this year they launched their latest fund (size: $1 billion). Their proven track record includes over 110 investments around the world, with notable successes in Europe such as Qonto, DeliveryHero, and Coachhub, marking their place as industry leaders.
Joining the firm in 2008, Alex played a central role in the expansion of RTP Global across Europe and Southeast Asia. With his strategic insights and forward-thinking approach, he has been instrumental in recognising potential in emerging markets, such as Armenia’s unique startup scene, which some currently still don’t have on their radar. However, Armenia boasts a relatively small but growing startup ecosystem.
Join us as we delve into RTP Global’s investment strategy for startups, drawing on Alex’s experiences with the firm’s expansion in Europe and Southeast Asia. Alex also provides insights into his criteria for selecting startups to invest in, potential pitfalls, and much more!
