In short: I invest because curiosity is expensive — and I’m willing to pay for it.
I invest in startups because — full disclosure — I still have money, but no new ideas of my own. Also, I’m genuinely curious about certain markets, and investing is a convenient excuse to ask nosy questions and stay in the loop. Sometimes I invest because I find the people interesting — whether it’s the founders or other investors — and money, in that case, is just my way of saying, “Hi, let’s talk.”
I invest in people, not ideas — because ideas are free, but competent execution is a unicorn.
So yes, I bring capital, strategy, and the occasional awkwardly timed joke — but mostly, I invest to learn, to connect, and to be part of something that (hopefully) doesn’t involve a pitch deck with a slide titled “Go-To-Market Strategy” in Comic Sans.
Here are some of the ventures I’ve supported:

Venture Capital Involvement
AAL Ventures— A U.S.-based venture capital fund investing in early-stage startups with global potential, focused on scalable, tech-driven solutions that aim to reshape industries.
Contribution Capital — A community-driven fund supporting innovative, founder-led companies across diverse sectors, proving that impact and growth aren’t mutually exclusive.

Being an LP allows me to support a broader range of visionary entrepreneurs — and be part of transformative innovations shaping the future, while mercifully avoiding the group chats.
Beyond direct startup investments, I’m also a Limited Partner (LP) in select venture capital funds — which is a fancy way of saying I support ambitious founders and high-growth tech companies without having to attend their daily stand-ups.
Here are some of the funds I’m proud to back:

Supporting Entrepreneurs & Giving Back
One of the initiatives I’m especially proud to support is GSEA (Global Student Entrepreneur Awards), a global competition by Entrepreneurs’ Organization that recognizes and empowers student entrepreneurs around the world. I’m currently working on bringing GSEA to Cyprus — because talent deserves a stage, and the island has more than its fair share of promising founders.
ENTREPRENEURS’ ORGANIZATION
Through mentorship and jury participation, I aim to help early-stage entrepreneurs gain visibility, refine their ideas, and take the next step in their journey — ideally with fewer detours and more momentum.
I’ve been part of EO (Entrepreneurs’ Organization) for 6 years — which, by entrepreneurial standards, is the equivalent of a lifetime spent in chats, meetings, and "quick" one-hour strategy calls. Out of those 6 years, I’ve spent 4 on the board, which shows not only that I can build a business, but also that I can survive (and bring value) in an organized structure.
This year, I’m launching a new EO chapter in Cyprus — because nothing says “challenge accepted” like trying to gather entrepreneurs on an island where no one shows up on time, but everyone has an opinion.
Over the years, I’ve been actively involved in the entrepreneurial community, regularly serving as a jury member in startup competitions and awards for young founders. It’s one of the ways I try to give back — by supporting those who are just starting out (or at least technically starting out — some “student” founders are pushing 35, and I respect that hustle).
PUBLISHING PROJECT
This is both a publishing business and a personal project — aimed at bringing his stories to new audiences, while continuing and expanding the success he achieved during his lifetime.
I’m currently working on the republication and distribution of children’s books by my father, Valery Voskoboinikov — a well-known and widely read author, with over 60 published titles. His books have been published in Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Japan, the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine, becoming part of childhood for generations of readers.
