Keiretsu Forum SEE

Keiretsu SEE Chapter in Prishtina is the leading and continuously growing global private equity investment network operating in Southeast Europe.

It was set up in 2021 to connect SEE and global
investors with innovative SEE and global startups.

18/03/2026

One region. Trusted investors. Real cross border deal-flow.🚀

Thirty investors. Five startups. One room in Belgrade.

Keiretsu Forum Southeast Europe brought together investors from across the Western Balkans, including our own angel members and close partners from the wider regional investment ecosystem.

From our long standing partners at Zephyr Angels in North Macedonia, Fil Rouge Capital in Croatia, Eleven and LaunchHub in Bulgaria, BHBAN through the 787 network in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and our partners from Montenegro, the room reflected the kind of regional collaboration the Western Balkans needs more of.

And from Serbia, we were especially pleased to establish new relationships with members of the Serbian angel ecosystem, including our new partners and friends at DSI.

On the startup side, some founders pitched in Belgrade for the first time, while others were already familiar to the Serbian ecosystem. That mix gave investors both fresh exposure and stronger points of comparison.

A stronger Western Balkans startup market starts with stronger investor trust.🤝

That trust depends on structure, discipline, and follow through.
Curated deal-flow, investor led Q and A, Mind Sharing, and clear next steps are all part of the work required to turn regional interest into actual collaboration.

That is how Keiretsu works.
That is the work behind building the Western Balkans investment market, one room at a time.

Proud to support Bliss in its first angel round.

Bliss is building culturally intelligent mental health infrastructure for global diaspora communities and international workforce, combining licensed therapists with supervised AI extensions.

Co-investing alongside Finest Love VC and Plug and Play () marks an important cross-border collaboration between Southeast Europe and the Nordics.

We believe the future of mental health must scale responsibly, and culturally.

Congratulations to Jona Doda () and the Bliss team on this milestone.

Pitches are the easy part.

The real test? 📝

Investor Q&A, no slides to hide behind.

At KFSEE Investor Pitch Day in Belgrade, five teams stepped up.
The format was simple and serious: 5-minute pitch. 10-minute investor-led Q&A.⏱

Teams that pitched:

•⁠ ⁠ Marijana Jovanovic - EasyPass (Serbia): tutoring + training platform across school, language, and corporate learning
•⁠ ⁠ Zoran Popovic - GuideLites (Serbia): digital reception / visitor management for security + compliance
•⁠ Milan and Danilo Maric - ⁠LoRaSi (Montenegro): grid monitoring sensors + software for real-time visibility
•⁠ ⁠Kristian Kabashi - Cybee.ai (Switzerland/Kosovo): Cybersecurity & Compliance for SMEs
•⁠ Filip Karaicic - ⁠OsirisAI (Serbia): last mile AI adoption across business workflows

After the session, investors moved into Mind Sharing to record interest and assign follow-ups.
Respect to every founder who stood up and took real questions.

Investors: If you want access to regional deal-flow and disciplined co-investment, apply to join the network.

At 13:30, the energy in the room changed.⌚

Conversations softened. Laptops opened. Chairs shifted forward.

Front rows filled with angels and funds.
Behind them: founders, operators, ecosystem builders - watching, listening, ready.

There was only one expectation in the room: Clarity. And what happens after.

Ravik Mima (KFSEE) set the standard: This is a process, curated deal-flow, real Q&A, and structured next steps after the room clears.

Miodrag Milosavljevic (OSF-WB) tied it to Youth Connect WB: if we want more investable founders in WB6, we need practical pathways.

Then Dr. Nir Tsuk gave the mindset bridge: build cultures where learning happens fast, feedback is direct, and failure becomes data, because that’s what lets ecosystems compound.

Next came pitches + investor Q&A and then Mind Sharing where follow-up actually gets assigned.

This is what building regional deal flow actually looks like.

📌Founders: if you want to pitch with KFSEE, apply, teams are screened and prepared before pitch day.

📌Investors: if you want access to regional deal-flow and co-investor community, apply to join.

At 09:30, the doors opened and the day truly began!

Founders stepping in with ideas, questions, and with a hope that today would move them forward.
We split into two rooms and asked two simple but uncomfortable questions.

In the Funding workshop, founders worked on turning their story and traction into a real investor ask, how much they are raising, what milestones make that number credible, and how to deliver it in a sharp 60 second pitch. ⏱

Next door, in Sales, they pushed themselves to say what they actually do in one clear value statement, something a customer or partner can understand in seconds and care about.

The sessions were led by Daniel Kovler, CEO of Methodian, together with international facilitators who build in cross-border markets.

Young and first time founders did not just sit and listen.
They tested their thinking against structure, exposed the weak spots, and left with sharper clarity than they walked in with.🤝
