Kristóf Mátyásfalvi
I am an advisor to early-stage and growth investments.I graduated from the Corvinus University of Budapest with an MSc in Finance and Management and later earned an MBA at INSEAD in Singapore. In the last year of my university studies, I joined the Institutional Client Group of Citibank Hungary, where I worked with top-tier corporations, financial institutions and government entities on their corporate and investment banking needs. This experience gave me valuable insight into the world of finance, with all the tools and solutions it offers for enterprises.Seeking to move closer to entrepreneurs and management teams, I joined the world of venture capital at Euroventures in Spring 2012. As investment analyst and later as investment manager, I was actively involved in numerous IT and biotech investments and successful exits. In learning the trade at Euroventures - one of Central Europe’s best-established private equity and venture capital firms - I fell in love with venture capital. Working with Euroventures’ two dozen portfolio companies gave me insight into corporate development, business strategy and equity financing. After completing my MBA, I worked for PortfoLion, the venture capital and private equity arm of OTP Group between 2018 and 2020. As investment director of PortfoLion, I designed the revised investment and regional go-to-market strategy of the OTP Digital Private Equity Fund and led multiple early-stage and growth investments. The OTP Digital Private Equity Fund is now on track to become one of the most successful early-stage funds in the region.
Track record
Over the past decade, I've been actively involved with several dozen companies in various roles, including deal originator, investor, board member and board observer. I directly participated in numerous platform investments, follow-on transactions and many successful exits, generating exceptional returns for both entrepreneurs and investors. Some milestones I'm proud to be part of:
SEON - Advising the Founders on Series A & B (USD 100m+)
OptoForce - Merged with OnRobot
Eutecus - Acquired by Sensity Systems now a Verizon Company
MediMass - Acquired by Waters Inc
AutoHop - Acquired by BlaBlaCar
Banzai Cloud - Acquired by Cisco
... and many more success stories (and a few failiures too).
Over the past decade Kristof has been actively involved with more than 15 companies directly in various roles, such as deal sourcer, investor, board member or board observer. This work included the active participation in 30+ platform investments and follow-on transactions.
