Tilia Impact Ventures

Tilia Impact Ventures operates as an impact fund, providing patient, mission-aligned capital and strategic support to purpose-driven companies primarily within the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. The firm focuses on scalable business models with inherent and measurable environmental or social impact, guiding portfolio companies in refining their impact thesis and managing key performance indicators to ensure alignment and value creation. Their approach integrates impact directly into the investment framework.

The firm was co-founded in 2018 by Silke Horáková and Petr Vítek. Their founding insight centered on the conviction that businesses addressing significant social and environmental challenges also possess substantial economic potential. Horáková brings a background in private equity, while Vítek contributed experience as a co-founder of Impact Hubs in the Czech Republic, collectively fostering a deep understanding of both investment and impact ecosystems.

Tilia Impact Ventures serves founders and companies committed to systemic positive change across climate, education, and social inclusion. The company's long-term vision is to empower a new generation of entrepreneurs who embed environmental and social solutions into their core operations, thereby fostering a sustainable and equitable future globally.
