Helping startups take root and scale across the globe

Some funds invest. Some funds mentor. Some funds connect. Silicon Gardens does it all.

Silicon Gardens is the Adria region’s (ex-Yugoslavia) first and only Founders for Founders venture capital firm. Built by founders, Silicon Gardens isn’t your typical venture capital fund. This is a fund where investors have been in the trenches themselves; scaling businesses, pivoting through chaos, and figuring out what actually works. They know firsthand that startups aren’t just about a brilliant idea, but about the people who bring it to life.

Why Silicon Gardens?

✔ They’ve got 100+ investors, some of which are legends in the Adria tech space. They’ve built companies like Cosylab, Dewesoft, Microblink, Outfit7, Photomath, Nordeus, Runtastic, Sportradar, and Zemanta.

✔ Silicon Gardens has a proven investment track record. Specializing in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, mobile apps, games, and innovative D2C products.

A powerful network. Silicon Gardens connects founders with a community of hundreds of entrepreneurs who have faced similar challenges, as well as top VC funds in Europe and the US.

Portfolio startups taking over the world

🔹 Bible Chat made the Top 15 most popular iOS apps worldwide, right between Google and Instagram. More popular than Amazon, Facebook, and Snapchat. To add, the Romanian-founded Bible Chat just raised €13.41 million in Series A and is recognized as the fastest-growing startup in the CEE. 

🔹 Bird Buddy became the fastest-growing consumer manufacturing business in Europe with a staggering $40M in sales in Q4 2024. Over Black Friday and Christmas, they dominated Amazon. A small bird feeder? More like a global e-commerce phenomenon.

🔹 Mediately is on track to become the biggest medical app in Europe by 2025. With nearly 300,000 doctors using the platform and a record-breaking year for digital campaigns, it’s redefining how medical professionals access information. Oh, and they just hit the #1 grossing medical app spot in most of their markets.

The portfolio is thriving, and Silicon Gardens is at the heart of it. Silicon Gardens has already invested €4M into five new startups last year, while there’s €30M, ready to be deployed into the next generation of startups.

They invest primarily in the Adria region and CEE + diaspora but can make exceptions if they like the business. Maybe you’re it. 😉
