Vasile Foca co-founded and runs Talis Capital as an entrepreneurial family office rather than a traditional institutional VC, giving him a longer-term, more flexible mandate than many peer funds when backing early-stage tech from his own family capital base. He has built a particularly strong relationship with London Business School and is noted for backing more LBS-founded startups than any other European VC fund, positioning him as a go-to investor for that entrepreneurial network.

Notable Investments
Talis Capital evolved from a single-family office into a multi-family, private-wealth-backed VC platform that serves as an access point for over 30 families and high-net-worth individuals into top tech deals, with this family-office DNA shaping how they source capital differently from typical institutional-backed VCs. The fund is known as one of the earliest and highest-conviction backers of cyber-AI unicorn Darktrace, leading its Series A, which alongside other successes has given Talis an outsized reputation in AI and cyber relative to its fund size.
