Portfolio

VP Capital is currently focused on supporting its core investment, Capital.com — a leading fintech platform. All other prior investments in fintech, AI, and machine learning businesses have been successfully exited, allowing the firm to concentrate fully on scaling Capital.com’s continued growth.

About Us

VP Capital is the principal investment firm of IT entrepreneur and businessman Viktor Prokopenya. Viktor founded VP Capital in 2012 with the aim of scaling and growing companies at the forefront of technology and innovation.
