Finance Manager
Credo VenturesCheck size: $1M-$5M published first-check range, primarily for led pre-seed rounds.
The official roster identifies Alena Kandakova as Finance Manager. This is a fund team or operating role; no direct investment mandate or personal signing authority is inferred.
At firm level, Credo Ventures is aligned with lead first institutional rounds for resourceful, resilient and globally ambitious CEE founders, often before product, revenue or a formal deck. This is firm-level guidance, not an invented personal preference.
No personal pass list is public. Opportunities outside Credo Ventures's stated stages, sectors, geography or team criteria should be treated as lower fit rather than a confirmed personal rejection rule.
Lead with founder-market fit, the specific problem, differentiated product or technology, evidence of demand, market size, round stage and why the opportunity matches Credo Ventures's published focus. Address the role of Finance Manager without assuming individual check authority.
