On 7 October 2026, Asternova Vest, Asternova Centru and Vest Ventures organised Romanian Capital Circle at Jecza & Olaru Gallery in Bucharest as a How to Web side event. The intimate, invitation-only gathering brought together founders, investors and professionals who work directly with technology companies.
For Asternova Vest, these gatherings serve a clear purpose: connecting the companies we see in the region with the wider capital market and getting to know investors who could participate in the same funding round or at the next stage.
For founders: funding comes in stages
Asternova Vest invests at Seed and Series A stages. A company that performs well will typically continue to raise capital, hire, enter new markets and seek partners.
This means our work with a founder continues beyond the investment itself. We want to understand which other investors could be a good fit further down the line and be able to make introductions when the company is ready.
For investors: access to companies in Romania’s West Region
Our mandate keeps us close to Timiș, Arad, Hunedoara and Caraș-Severin. We see companies before they enter national or international fundraising discussions.
For an investor based in Bucharest or outside Romania, Asternova Vest can offer local insight and earlier access to deal flow from the region.
What we discussed at the third edition
The investment panel brought together Ionuț Țața, General Partner at Asternova Vest, Silvia Ursu, General Partner at Asternova Centru, and Cristobal Alonso, General Partner at Vest Ventures, for a discussion about the positioning of the three funds, startup investment and opportunities in the Romanian market.
