Valeri Petrov brings a rare mix of experience to venture investing at Eleven Ventures: he has run companies as CEO, sat on more than 30 boards, and helped build the private equity scene in South-East Europe before it was fully established, which shapes how he looks at healthcare deals—weighing governance, compliance, and real-world deployment risks, down to specifics like how earlier dementia detection could reduce costs and improve outcomes. Outside the boardroom, he's known for a distinctly human touch, with a long-standing love of rock music and guitar that Eleven says would make him a rock star if he weren't in venture capital.
