In a recent article by Aurel Constantin, ROCA X VC has revealed new growth opportunities for the startup industry, marking a significant exit at the close of the first quarter. The key highlight of this announcement is the acquisition of CODA Intelligence, a Romanian cybersecurity startup, by leading IT asset management software provider PDQ. This strategic move has led to the development of PDQ Detect, an innovative solution for software vulnerability management.
ROCA X’s successful support of CODA Intelligence since its early stages showcases the VC’s ability to identify promising startups and cultivate a portfolio with exponential growth potential. CEO Alexandru Bogdan emphasized the importance of this exit in demonstrating the potential of the Romanian market and fulfilling their commitment to investors with an impressive IRR of 50%.
Following a period of caution in the venture capital industry, the startup ecosystem is showing signs of optimism. ROCA X’s continued investments in portfolio startups, such as fintech FilmChain and follow-on funding rounds for iFactor and Munevo, demonstrate their commitment to using disruptive technology for societal impact and development.
With total investments of 1.5 million euros in the past year, ROCA X has supported resilient companies like Bunnyshell, Kinderpedia, and Medicai, alongside existing and new investors. This focus on disruptive technology and sustainable growth positions ROCA X as a key player in the startup ecosystem.
