Adam Newinski Co-Founder and managing partner, OTB ventures.
So I'm an entrepreneur turn investor. So I co-founded my first startup in 2000 during the internet bubble a great time. You know, it was something that we called the fintech. But in 2000, the word fintech was in existence and the bubble burst. We started to open physical outlets and exited successfully to G capital. I also co-founded a consumer bank in Ukraine with a friend of mine.
Basically, after spending quite a few years being a founder by myself and being also a corporate, I thought that I want to come back to be an entrepreneur, but in a different capacity to set up my own fund to confound OTP venture and to start working with founders and supporting the founders.
We focus on disruptive technologies. We focus on visionary founders doing really difficult tech. And we are particularly focused on three areas space and dual use and novel computing, NII, as well as robotics and physical AI.
We are looking for unique ideas and good geographic focus. But by far the most important thing is the the most important criteria is a unique founder founder that can take the company from zero to a great success, and desire just a handful of great personalities that can actually make it happen.
In OTB ventures. We are big believers of the sector of European resilience. We want to play an important role in it. We want to support startups and founders, building next generation European resilience companies and hopefully contribute to this trend over the next years.
We don't want to take the backseat. We don't want to be a background noise. We want to be an active investor. We understand our role. We are not the founders. The founders are at the driving seat, but we are here to support them and we are here to understand what their needs are, how we can potentially help them with growing their business, but also sometimes being an alter ego and being just a partner that can share experience and hopefully make together the success. We won't make a success without founder making a success.
JP Morgan is probably not only the largest financing institution in the world, but it's also an organization that understands very well business from different perspective, from the founders perspective, from the corporate perspective, from the deal perspective.
Being an entrepreneur, is having the vision and energy to move the mountains. The satisfaction, the energy that comes together, is just impossible to replicate. And it's close to nothing else that I can think of. And this is something that really excites me, and I hope to be doing this for the rest of my life.
