Victor Szabo brings an unusual combination of deep technical training in mechatronics and precision engineering from Munich and Shanghai to venture capital, rather than the typical finance or consulting background. His personal philosophy of genuine, unconditional giving—shaped by mentors who provided him with second homes and first opportunities—drives how he supports founders beyond just providing capital, while his hands-on maker approach to everything from building watches to recreating artwork aligns with his focus on nurturing early, almost artistic ideas into scalable companies.
