The things founders and funds ask us most, answered directly.
We're a Riga-based venture advisory practice with two sides to the work: we help founders get investment-ready for fundraising (pitch, narrative, round strategy and investor targeting), and we help European VC and PE funds get better deal flow and due-diligence support through the VC House EU network. We also run a dedicated advisory and introductions track for Ukrainian defense and dual-use tech founders.
It's a consent-based, ten-factor founder and team scoring process we run through Potentia. Instead of an investor spending weeks doing reference calls on a founding team, they get a structured report they can act on in days. Read the full breakdown on our Growth Readiness Diligence guide.
In practice it means three things are in order at once: a pitch narrative that lands in the first two minutes, a data room that survives real diligence, and founder/team references an investor can verify quickly. Try our investor-readiness check for a quick self-assessment, or see the full investor-readiness checklist guide.
VC House Europe is an association of 300+ European venture capital and private equity funds that share deal flow, co-investment opportunities and due-diligence support with each other. It's the backbone of the deal-flow connections we bring to both founders and funds.
Yes — it's one of our most active tracks. We help Ukrainian defense and dual-use technology founders get investor-ready, make direct introductions to defense-focused funds and family offices, and give them stage time at our pitch events. See our defense-tech page for details.
We run and co-organize investor pitch nights and meetups across Europe under the Unicorn Events series, including recurring stops focused on defense and dual-use tech. Founders working with us — especially in the defense-tech track — get priority access to stage time. Tell us about your startup and we'll place you at the next relevant event.
No — we're an advisory practice, not a fund that writes checks directly. We help founders prepare for and reach investors, and we help funds inside the VC House EU network find and diligence deal flow. Where relevant we make direct warm introductions to the funds and family offices actually investing.
It depends on the scope — a Growth Readiness Diligence report, hands-on fundraising advisory, and fund-side deal-flow consulting are priced differently. Book a consultation and tell us what you're working on, and we'll scope it from there.
