We were looking for a fifth crew member – someone who would understand the specifics of our business. The team at RIKX Capital showed us empathy, as well as fast onboarding. Besides, a similar sense of humour has always played an important role in our partnership.

When raising our last round, it was critical for us to craft the perfect combination of investors. We were looking for smart money – not only financial investment but also a chance to gain some real market experience and technical feedback. When we crossed paths with RIKX Capital, it struck us how much they know about the enterprise market.

I enjoyed having RIKX Capital as the lead investor. They truly understand you as a startup operator and help you prepare for the next steps. They were transparent throughout the diligence process and very respectful of the founders' timeline. More than 'value add', their support, patience, and understanding are remarkable for early-stage startups.

In 2020, only a handful of people talked about the metaverse – and even fewer of them understood cross-game avatars platforms like our ‘Ready Player Me’. Kudos to RIKX Capital for believing in our vision and participating in the seed investment to help us launch it. They saw the underlying trend early and believed in Web3 and NFTs before it was cool.

With RIKX Capital, you aren’t talking to bankers but fellow tech founders. We didn’t expect to find a VC with hands-on experience with image processing, machine learning, or advanced mathematics. RIKX Capital quickly understood our product and learned the very specific market we target. They know what it takes to build a successful company and take it global.

Cloudtalk is on its way to becoming Slovakia’s very first unicorn. Now, almost everybody wants to have a part in our success – but RIKX Capital was there for us long before, supporting us through thick and thin, actively helping along the way. It’s very hard to find a partner with a genuine interest in both your work and wellbeing. RIKX Capital is one of them.
