Founders about us

Rustem Akishbekov

Co-Founder at Robo Wunderkind

The offer we received from Arkley VC was totally unexpected for us. We decided to work with Arkley VC because it's one of the few European investment firms dedicated only for hardware companies and only one in CEE region and its founder Piotr had several IPOs and exits. Arkley VC invested in our company after we made a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter and before we shipped the product to backers. The investments we got helped us to build technical team in Shenzhen, China, organize the manufacturing and ship the product to the first customers.

Mario Aguilera

Co-Founder & CEO at Tespack

Arkley has been a very helpful investor throughout this years. They were there when we needed them and understood when they had to let us handle things on our own (something few investors understand). They have been great support to our team and gave us the right guidance when needed. Few investors understand how difficult is to scale up Hardware Arkley is one of them.

Nazar Fedorchuk

Founder & CEO at Senstone

We decided to join Arkley Launchpad because of the great portfolio of Arkley VC and their focus on hardware plus software projects. On top of that, we are located ‘next door’ to them (Lviv/Kyiv) and this makes our communication even more seamless and easy-going.

Marek Cieśla

CEO at Woolet

Arkley was my first choice in terms of Hardware VC that knows the business. Seeing successful campaign for Lovely, Bivrost or Tespack this ensured us to move along with this partner.
