About the show

An investor's notebook on Central & Eastern Europe.

VC in the CEE is a podcast and field guide to the venture-capital ecosystem across Ukraine, Poland, the Baltics, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechia, Croatia, and the Balkans. Each episode is a conversation with a VC, fund manager, angel, operator, or ecosystem builder explaining how the region's markets are being built.

The host

Adrian Kondrat is an investor and the host of VC in the CEE. The show is the format for a long-running conversation with the people who put capital into CEE founders — and the people who use it to build companies that compete globally.

Pitch as a guest

The bar is editorial: an interesting fund thesis, a cross-border angle, an exit story, a market thesis the rest of Europe hasn't caught up with. Send a short pitch — what you'd want to talk about and why now.

Get in touch

A small number of episodes per season carry a sponsor read. We're picky — if your tool, fund, or service genuinely helps founders or investors in CEE, we'd like to hear from you.
