Evolution Equity Partners organizes Annual Investor Day in New York

Evolution Equity Partners, a leading global investment fund focused on cybersecurity technologies, with offices in New York, London, Palo Alto, and Zurich, organized its Annual Investor Day conference on December 3, 2024, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New York.

This prestigious event brought together their investors, partner companies, and a community of CEOs and CISOs. Discussions among the attendees covered the latest trends and technologies in cybersecurity, complemented by a keynote speech on “Timeless Leadership” delivered by Walter Isaacson, the bestselling author of biographies of Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Benjamin Franklin. Among the distinguished guests was Marco Polleti, CEO and head of Security Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs, who shared valuable insights and perspectives on capital markets in 2025. Additionally, Jen Easterly, Director of CISA (the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), presented the latest technologies and national efforts to understand, manage, and mitigate risks to cyber and physical infrastructure.

One of the highlights of the event was the Fund’s exceptional success this year, having successfully accumulated over 1.1 billion USD in available capital for investment in advanced startups in the fields of cybersecurity, big data, and AI technologies. The CEO of Sky Express, Mr. Majo Mićović, had the privilege of attending the Annual Investor Day conference as a partner and advisor to the Fund for the Western Balkans region.

Evolution Equity Partners announced its plans to enter Serbia in 2025, marking a significant opportunity for the development of Serbia’s IT industry. The IT sector in Serbia currently holds the greatest growth potential. According to data from the National Bank of Serbia, the export of ICT services in September 2024 amounted to 338 million euros, a 20% increase compared to the same month last year, while the surplus in ICT services trade reached 2.31 billion euros over the first nine months of the year.

The experiences of companies in the Fund’s portfolio demonstrate that Evolution Equity Partners provides not only financial support but also strategic guidance, networking with key partners, and operational expertise, significantly helping companies to realize their full potential. The Fund’s entry into Serbia presents significant opportunities for Serbian IT companies, offering them the chance for further development and expansion into international markets.
