Rockaway Capital
Multi-stage venture capital firm that builds, creates and invests in outstanding tech companies in CEE & DACH regions.
Established in 2013 by Jakub Havrlant, Rockaway Capital has evolved from a visionary concept for industry transformation via technology into a substantial private equity and asset management firm. Havrlant, leveraging his background in e-commerce and digital ventures, aimed to build a firm that could actively shape the digital economy. The firm began with a focus on e-commerce and has since methodically broadened its investment scope.
Rockaway Capital's operational structure is built around several specialized investment vehicles, each targeting a specific segment of the market. Its business model centers on managing structured funds for a diverse client base that includes families, institutional investors, and wealth professionals. Revenue is generated through management fees on assets and carried interest from the performance of its funds. The firm's total assets under management have surpassed EUR 2.3 billion, with a portfolio of over 50 companies spanning 17 countries as of 2024.
The company's core investment activities are channeled through distinct platforms. RockawayX manages nearly EUR 2 billion, concentrating on blockchain technology and digital assets, and includes a significant staking division. The Rockaway Ventures Fund is dedicated to providing capital to early-stage startups across Europe, seeking to nurture the next generation of digital enterprises. Another arm, Rockaway Private Equity, focuses on acquiring established, cash-flow-generative businesses, aiming for stable returns. Furthermore, the firm has expanded into tangible assets with a Real Estate division dedicated to development projects. Demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility, Rockaway Arts supports prominent cultural events like the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
