Frequently asked questions
How does Vespucci Partners source proprietary deal flow?
Vespucci sources primarily through deep ties to Central European technical universities, startup competitions, and regional accelerator programs, particularly in Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Farkas’s personal network across both CEE engineering labs and Silicon Valley venture circles generates much of the firm’s pipeline. The US-facing side of the firm also surfaces reverse-inquiry opportunities from American corporates seeking CEE-born technology.
Which sectors does Vespucci Partners explicitly avoid?
Vespucci does not invest in consumer internet, quick-commerce, or asset-light marketplace models common in Western European venture. The firm focuses narrowly on deep technology with defensible engineering moats—space hardware, industrial robotics, AI infrastructure, and enterprise software platforms—and has not signaled interest in life sciences or pure fintech plays.
What is Vespucci’s known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Vespucci actively welcomes co-investment from US-based venture firms and strategic corporate investors, particularly for portfolio companies entering the American market. The firm’s model explicitly relies on syndicating later rounds to US general partners, making it structurally co-investment-friendly rather than a proprietary deal accumulator.
