OUR STRATEGY
We support migratory talents in early-stage companies with fast growth potential
We firmly believe in migratory talents and their abilities to build best-in-class solutions which drive economies forward. Our investment approach favors start-ups led by passionate immigrant entrepreneurs with a clear vision and strategy.
Our team has many years of experience in the global market and we look for early-stage revenue generating projects in order to leverage our expertise. As a team, we have been historically focused on selected verticals in the tech space (mainly financial services, retail, education and enterprise software solutions) and are keen to exploit opportunities in these areas.

FUEL GROWTH

E-CURREX VENTURE BUILDER
We build digital leaders from scratch by bringing together two sources of expertise. The first is a deep understanding of our market that comes from strategic partnerships, and the second is the D
E-currex team’s practical experience creating and scaling tech companies.
OUR APPROACH
We build what can’t be bought
We create tech businesses from scratch. Start-ups gain a serious advantage getting venture builder on board as a co-founder. This stands in contrast to the much slimmer chances of a start-up achieving global success if created by an independent founder.
DEVELOPING CONCEPTS
We study what people and companies lack in order to locate industry growth areas and create technology solutions for them. Our methodologies and techniques for developing concepts are among the most advanced in the industry.
STAYING FOCUSED
In the early stages, a founder should focus on the product. To prevent the founding teams from getting distracted, we take care of everything else – corporate governance, organizational structure, financial management, and marketing.
CORPORATE NETWORKING
Piloting with major industry players is an essential way for B2B start-ups to prove its product-market fit. Our portfolio companies have collaborated successfully.
GLOBAL MARKET ENTRY
E-currex offices will be opening in over 127 countries worldwide which will create a foothold for our portfolio companies looking to scale abroad. We are considering international potential straight when the concept is being developed.
STRATEGIC PARTNERS
We find new business models in traditional markets
We are able to achieve rapid project launch speeds largely to partners who share E-currex venture builder team’s commitment to open innovation. This is not just another buzz word for us but rather a quick way of solving challenges of those involved in the process.
As a result, our strategic partners – industry-leading companies – obtain products and services that reflect the upcoming transformations awaiting the market.
IT development companies, open to partnering with start-ups, find new areas to apply technologies and expertise.
Start-ups earn a level of trust that is difficult to gain without prior successful cooperation experience.
SERVICE LINE
Given the rapid speeds at which tech products grow, there is no time for lengthy discussions. Practical specialists that quickly and professionally cover an entire field with their expertise are required. We have the ability to work not only with portfolio companies, but also with external teams.
RESEARCH AND ANALYTICS
We find questions and answers to them
Even teams that are building the future require reference points. Choosing the wrong direction may provide valuable experience but not the desired result. We use the most effective research tools for different life stages of a product.Here you can find a guide to our favourite methods.
PRODUCT DESIGN AND MARKETING
We create and build technology brands
Customer acquisition cost nowadays is a more valuable metric to investors vs traditional financial indicators. Classic advertising agencies are not geared towards working with young tech companies. We have the ability to create versatile brands, as well as communication and media strategies to support them.
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
We design and build innovative teams
Having the right people in the right function is crucial to achieving rapid growth. Organizational design helps in assembling the right team based on the goals and objectives of the business, which is rooted on functions rather than emotions. We build functional maps of innovative companies and find the right specialists for both start-ups and major corporations.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We turn start-ups into businesses
Having the right legal and financial infrastructure around a technology product is essential for successful start-ups. We develop corporate governance principles for external teams, register intellectual property rights to technology, and establish discipline as it relates to budgeting and financial management.

E-currex Capital casts a wide net, and we don’t shy away from underserved markets. We review more deals than just about anyone, which gives us a comprehensive view of markets and trends worldwide. Our goal is to back the best, regardless of race, gender and geography.
