Principal at Speedinvest, one of Europe's largest early-stage VCs with over €1B under management. An engineer by training and originally from Romania, Daria is based in London, keeping her eyes peeled for CEE founders building serious developer and enterprise tech.
Daria looks at early venture through the code base. Her time in startup engineering gives her first-hand familiarity with the technical trade-offs, architecture bottlenecks and product iterations that determine whether a young system holds up under growth.
She concentrates on the engineering leap from early demo to production-grade product. Technical founders and operators gain practical insight into managing early architecture constraints, embedding AI into domain-heavy sectors like biotech and positioning regional software innovation for pan-European seed capital.
