Vff is a brand that invests in innovative Slovak companies with the potential to become leaders in their respective sectors and expand into foreign markets. They have a focus on high-tech companies but also consider projects holistically. They prioritize innovation, unique solutions, and functional teams that can translate expectations into real commercial results.

Vff primarily targets small and medium-sized businesses in the growth phase (Series A and beyond) that have partially functional products, market-tested viability, and initial paying customers or contracted relationships. Their investment typically ranges from 500,000 to 2 million Euros, with the final amount depending on the specific project. Vff always co-invests with an independent partner on a pari-passu basis, sharing investment benefits and risks equally.

They support companies based and operating in Slovakia, as well as foreign companies with a capital connection to Slovakia. Vff has a 10-year fund lifespan and aims to guide companies towards successful exits within 3 to 7 years. They cannot finance projects that require capital for purposes other than growth and expansion, or those that do not meet the size and turnover criteria set by the European Commission for small and medium-sized enterprises.

To evaluate a project, Vff requires a pitch deck or executive summary describing the product, its unique problem-solving features, and the go-to-market strategy. They also seek a product demonstration, a well-developed business plan with financial projections, a financial model, and an overview of current customers and future prospects
