Rockaway Ventures

Rockaway Ventures is the venture capital arm of Rockaway Capital, a prominent Czech investment group based in Prague. The fund is strategically focused on identifying and backing early-stage companies, primarily from Seed to Series A rounds, that are poised to digitize traditional industries. A core tenet of their investment philosophy is a strong emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance, ensuring their portfolio companies not only drive technological innovation but also adhere to sustainable and responsible business practices. This dual focus positions Rockaway Ventures as a distinctive player in the European venture landscape.

Geographically, Rockaway Ventures concentrates its investment activities within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) and DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) regions. This regional specialization allows them to leverage deep market insights and an extensive network to support their portfolio companies' growth. They seek out startups that are transforming sectors such as fintech, proptech, logistics, healthtech, and cleantech, among others, by introducing innovative digital solutions. Their commitment extends beyond capital, offering active support, strategic guidance, and access to Rockaway Capital's broader ecosystem and operational expertise.

For initial investments, Rockaway Ventures typically deploys cheques ranging from €500,000 to €3,000,000. This translates to approximately $540,000 to $3,240,000 USD, based on a recent exchange rate of 1 EUR = 1.08 USD. The fund also reserves capital for follow-on investments, demonstrating a long-term commitment to its portfolio companies as they scale. Their hands-on approach and focus on impactful, sustainable innovation make them a notable partner for early-stage ventures aiming to disrupt established markets through digitization.
