Horizon Capital has raised $350M in investments for Ukrainian companies: Where and how much do they plan to invest?

The Horizon Capital Fund has raised $350M and is ready to invest in new companies, said Lenna Koszarny, CEO of Horizon Capital. She expects the fund’s portfolio to grow to at least 8-10 companies by the end of this year. The company plans to invest all $350M in the next 24 months, which is faster than usual.

The new portfolio will include both technological and manufacturing companies with an emphasis on export. In particular, these include the food sector and light industry. However, the private equity firm is also looking to invest in consumer goods, e‐commerce, and fintech. She added that investments have started with IT companies to provide greater comfort for investors in the first stage. Horizon Capital does not disclose the volume of existing deals.

“We can start with $5M or immediately with $25M”, the CEO added.

“Previously, we started with an investment of $2-3M in one project and then raised it to $30M”, Koszarny said.
