V7 Capital

What V7 Capital does

V7 Capital is a private evergreen investment holding company headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, founded in 2013 by a team of serial entrepreneurs with management and strategy consulting backgrounds. The firm deploys patient capital into Romanian SMEs and early-stage founders, positioning itself as a co-creator, advisor, and long-term partner rather than a fund manager seeking quick exits. Its portfolio spans 20+ companies across unrelated verticals including e-commerce (Easy Sales), digital marketing (SEO Monitor, Upswing, 2Performant), enterprise technology (Flowx, Designverse), food and beverage (Wineful, Zaganu, Frufru, Lifebox, Laptaria cu Caimac), agriculture (Holde Agri Invest, Enten), health and wellness (Zitamine), sports (Sportguru, 7card, Nordensa), startup investing infrastructure (SeedBlink), and professional services (V7 Studio coworking, Confidas, Incorporate, Pluria). Four portfolio companies are listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (2Performant, Holde Agri Invest, Simtel, Laptaria cu Caimac), with disclosed stakes exceeding 5% in 2Performant.

The firm operates without a traditional fund structure: it does not charge management fees, set ticket sizes publicly, or report AUM. Monetization is entirely through capital appreciation and exit proceeds, with seven recorded exits including the acquisition of 7card by Sodexo Romania, and three companies (Fitads, Minunino, Incorporate) written off. V7 Capital sources deals via direct outreach, a website contact channel ([email protected]), and network-based referrals inside the Romanian startup ecosystem, including reciprocal ties with Growceanu (angel network), SeedBlink (crowd investing platform), and Endeavor Romania. Its only technology assets are the companies in its portfolio; V7 Capital does not maintain APIs, proprietary software, or AI products of its own.

The team comprises seven members including Managing Partner Iulian Circiumaru, Investment Manager Robert Radoslav, Venture Partner Eduard Burghelia (formerly founder of Confidas), Counsel Elena Sopotean, Communication and PR lead Andreea Budai, Board Member Paul Murariu, and team member Andrei Crețu (co-founder of V7 Studio coworking). Marketing and deal origination rely on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, a Substack newsletter, and ongoing press coverage in Ziarul Financiar, Forbes, Business Magazin, Profit, Wall Street, and StartUp. Geographic footprint is explicitly domestic, with operating geographies limited to Bucharest and Romania, and the firm maintains no disclosed subsidiaries, parent entities, regulatory actions, or M&A activity beyond portfolio investments and exits.

Revenue model

1. Investment Returns and Exit Proceeds: V7 Capital generates returns through equity investments in portfolio companies. As an evergreen investor, they focus on long-term value creation rather than quick exits. Revenue is derived from capital appreciation and exit proceeds when portfolio companies are sold or go public (IPO). The firm holds significant stakes in listed companies like Holde Agri Invest and 2Performant, which provide ongoing value realization opportunities.

It invests between €25,000 and €2 million per company, taking equity stakes and providing strategic support across sectors including software/IT services, business services, and diversified industries.

Product overview

V7 Capital is an evergreen investment holding company that empowers local SMEs in Romania. Rather than operating a single unified product or platform, V7 Capital's offering consists of its investment portfolio spanning multiple portfolio companies across diverse sectors including e-commerce (Easy Sales), digital marketing (SEO Monitor, Upswing), enterprise technology (Flowx), food and beverage (Wineful, Zaganu, Frufru, Lifebox, Ohvaz), agriculture (Holde Agri Invest, Enten), health and wellness (Zitamine, Minunino), sports (Sportguru, 7card), affiliate marketing (2Performant), startup investing (SeedBlink), and professional services (V7 Studio coworking, Confidas, Incorporate). Some portfolio companies have AI capabilities, such as Flowx (AI-powered enterprise application modernization) and Designverse (AI-powered digital creation platform). Three portfolio companies are listed on the stock exchange (Holde Agri Invest, 2Performant, Simtel), and several have been exited (Flip, Confidas, 7card, Ohvaz, V7 Studio, Pluria) or dropped (Fitads, Minunino, Incorporate).
