Tichomir Jenkut

Tichomir Jenkut is a Investor at Presto Tech Horizons, a €150 million venture fund focused on dual-use, security, and defense technologies. The fund backs post-revenue startups across NATO and allied countries developing AI-driven defence solutions, cybersecurity platforms, advanced sensors, and quantum computing technologies.

Presto Tech Horizons was launched in partnership with Czechoslovak Group (CSG), one of Central Europe's largest defence and industrial conglomerates, combining venture capital agility with 30 years of industrial expertise and defence sector connections.

Before joining Presto, Tichomir built his career across finance and technology. He served as Financial and Analytics Lead at Klarna, worked in M&A consulting at EY, and held leadership roles at Enactus Bath. His early career included work with Matsuko, a deep tech startup developing holographic communication technology — an experience that gave him a front-row view of how breakthrough technologies move from lab to market.

A graduate of Bath Business School with a focus on finance and investments, Tichomir combines analytical rigour with an investor's instinct for identifying technologies that solve real-world security challenges at scale.

Presto Tech Horizons actively invests in Ukrainian and NATO-aligned dual-use startups, backing companies developing AI-driven battlefield navigation, acoustic detection systems, and next-generation cybersecurity solutions. The fund targets 30 to 50 investments over three years, with ticket sizes ranging from €300K to €3M at seed and Series A stages.
