Eleven Capital, established in January, is the owner of the portfolio of local venture capital fund Eleven, comprising stakes in 70-80 companies.
Last year, business news outlet Capital.bg reported that if the IPO is completed successfully, Eleven Capital will invest the funds in around 30 of the companies in its portfolio, while interest in the other companies will likely be divested.
The Eleven fund was launched in 2012 by Eleven Ventures, as a 12 million euro acceleration and seed fund, which was fully invested in 115 startups over three years. The fund initially benefited from financing from the European Investment Fund (EIF) under the JEREMIE programme.
The company currently has a registered capital of just under 2 million levs, divided into an equal number of shares with a nominal value of 1 lev apiece.
