Why are we different?

We can provide capital access from the CIS Region

Many growing companies overlook CIS-region investors, assuming the capital is complex, political, or irrelevant. In reality, the region has a deep pool of professional, long-term capital, such as VC funds, family offices, and UHNW investors actively seeking exposure to strong US and European businesses. It remains underutilized not because it’s hard to work with, but because most teams don’t know how to access or evaluate it.

Volna Capital bridges that gap. We understand the CIS investor landscape and the expectations of Western founders and boards. We curate credible capital, align on clear terms and governance, and help companies access new funding without compromising quality, integrity, or control.

For teams that have overlooked the region, the message is simple: there is a serious, relationship-driven investor ecosystem ready to back strong businesses and we make accessing it familiar, safe, and aligned with how you already operate.
