We are proud to share that Lighthouse Ventures has been ranked 26th overall—and #1 among Czech VCs—on Sifted’s 2026 DACH & CEE investor leaderboard.
Out of 750 regional investors and lenders evaluated by Sifted, this ranking holds a distinct significance: it is determined not by assets under management or capital deployed, but by the actual, measured revenue growth of portfolio companies.
While rapid scaling is driven by the relentless execution of brilliant founders, building category-defining companies requires active early-stage partnership. From day one, our mission at Lighthouse Ventures has been to nurture high-potential teams through their critical early phases—combining capital with hands-on mentoring, operational support, and international network access.
Seeing our portfolio companies scale so rapidly is a strong validation of both our founders’ grit and our hands-on support model. We remain committed to identifying, mentoring, and opening doors for the next generation of ambitious founders across CEE and beyond.
