MinaMutafchieva

Mina leads growth-stage investing in Enterprise Software, AI, and Fintech at HV Capital. She left Bulgaria on a scholarship at 17, graduated with First Class Honours from LSE, and went on to earn her MBA at Harvard. She spent the past 11 years backing European founders scaling their businesses globally, first in Private Equity and then in Venture Growth. At Palamon Capital Partners, she worked with bootstrapped businesses to inject fresh capital and leadership into their companies and expand through through Europe and beyond. At Dawn Capital, Europe's largest B2B software fund, she led investments including LeanIX (acquired by SAP), Fonoa, Lokalise, and AccessFintech. She started her career at McKinsey & Company where she lived and worked across 10 different countries in Europe, North America, and APAC, focused on strategy and business transformation.

At HV, her portfolio combines deep B2B pattern recognition with the strategic and operational lens of someone who has worked across consulting, private equity, and venture on three continents. Founders who work with Mina get a partner built for the hardest phase of company building: when the decisions between milestones matter more than the milestones themselves. Off the clock: long hikes, too many books, decent cook, two daughters keeping it all in perspective.
