Cristian Munteanu built products, raised money in Silicon Valley, and filed patents before becoming a VC at Early Game Ventures, so he thinks like a founder rather than a typical finance person. He's especially drawn to backing very early, often being the first investor a startup ever gets, and he's known for being direct with founders, like advising them to ask customers about the past instead of the future when doing interviews.

Notable Investments
Early Game Ventures built its identity around backing founders at the very earliest stage, often before they have more than an idea, using a structured nine-part evaluation process and staying closely involved through weekly meetings as companies grow. Led by partners with hands-on startup experience in both Romania and Silicon Valley, the fund focuses on founders from Central and Eastern Europe and its diaspora, and points to results like Druid raising over 100 million euros and Roboshelf being acquired by Nvidia as evidence that a small regional market can still produce large outcomes.
