Frequently asked questions
Which geographies does GEM Capital focus on?
GEM concentrates on startups with roots in the CIS, Central and Eastern Europe, and Israel. While many portfolio companies eventually domicile in London, New York, or Singapore, GEM's origination network is weighted toward founders from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and neighboring markets. The firm's Cyprus headquarters provides EU regulatory cover and banking access for portfolio companies navigating cross-border operations.
What are GEM Capital's most notable portfolio companies?
Two publicly traceable names are Arrival, the British electric-vehicle company that went public through a SPAC merger in 2021, and Acronis, the cybersecurity and data-protection platform founded by Serguei Beloussov. GEM has also backed TransferGo, a cross-border payments company that closed a $100 million Series C in 2023, and maintains undisclosed positions in enterprise-AI and climate-hardware startups.
