Sigma Software Labs has been shortlisted for the European Startup Ecosystem Awards in the CVC Fund category – third year in a row.
We’re among the top 5 corporate venture capital funds in Europe, alongside CapGemini Ventures, EDP Ventures, Sopra Steria Ventures, and BestNights VC.
Beyond the shortlist:
We are the venture wing of Sigma Software Group, a global IT company operating in 22 countries. We build the ecosystem around our portfolio: engineering capacity, mentorship, partnerships, and market access. For us, as a fund investing in Ukrainian tech startups, this recognition proves that Ukrainian companies backed by Ukrainian capital and infrastructure can compete at the European level and scale globally.
Our portfolio includes startups that are already there:
- AiSDR grew from $1.22M to $3.51M ARR in 8 months, and now serves ~200 clients with 70% from the US. Y Combinator participant, featured in TechCrunch’s top-5 products.
- Buntar Aerospace completed 200+ combat missions and was recognized as the Most Promising DefenceTech Project at the DOU Awards 2025.
- Deus Robotics won Startup of the Year at IDF Awards 2026, ranked #3 globally among Top 50 logistics robotics companies. Their clients include Nova Poshta and DPD UK.
- INPUT SOFT was named Most Investable Company at Seeds of Bravery Demo Day.
Being shortlisted three years running isn’t just about us. It’s about the ecosystem we’re part of, the founders we back, and the belief that Ukrainian tech can build products the world needs.
“This shortlisting shows that Ukrainian venture capital can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Europe’s leading corporate funds. We’re not just building a portfolio – we’re proving that Ukrainian innovation belongs on the global stage.”
