Ondrej Bartos, Co-Founder and General Partner of Credo Ventures

On this episode of Launch Stories, I talk to Ondrej Bartos, co-founder and general partner of Credo Ventures.

You’ll hear the ‘behind the scenes’ story of how he joined a $1.6 million seed investment round in Romanian unicorn UIPath. You’ll also learn the key ingredients that eventually led to UIPath’s staggering $35 billion valuation on the New York Stock Exchange, and how the Central European startup ecosystem has evolved since Ondrej’s pioneering role in the early 2000s.
