ROCA X

ROCA X is a privately owned early-stage venture capital fund based in Romania and part of Impetum Group. It invests in disruptive technology startups led by ambitious founders with a working MVP or prototype, positioning itself between angel support and later-stage venture capital - a stage at which the business model is still being validated and capital needs to be paired with operational input.

The fund's stated approach combines equity with hands-on support. Rather than providing capital alone, ROCA X works alongside entrepreneurs to validate and optimise business models and accelerate growth, drawing on a network of Romanian businesses and entrepreneurs. The emphasis is practical and collaborative: entrepreneurial and flexible in structure, with the intent that portfolio companies gain access to commercial relationships as well as funding.

Geographically, the fund operates from Romania and can invest across multiple target markets. Its investment thesis centres on technology and on founders seeking meaningful impact through disruptive ideas. ROCA X collaborates with Google for Startups, the European Startup Association, AWS Activate and TechAngels, providing portfolio companies with routes into wider startup infrastructure.
