“Pretiosum is appropriately named! Yana is awesome and has been highly supportive since the beginning. Happy to have her as a partner.”
“Yana was an early believer in Valarian, well before the category became obvious to most seed investors, and when she saw the chance to double down, she took it. She’s resourceful and well-connected globally, and she helped bring the right investors together to close our seed round. She’s on WhatsApp with us weekly and has helped with customer intros every step of the way.”
“Yana didn’t just make intros, she made the right ones. Real customers, not names on a list. She used the product herself, sat with us on use cases, and pushed it out through her own channels. Hard to find an investor this hands-on this early.”
“Yana was an early believer in ROIAI One, and she’s shown up like one, a sounding board through fundraising, in the room to help negotiate with advisors and other stakeholders, and pushing on our enterprise sales pitch when we needed it. She’s earned that trust every step since.”
“Pretiosum has been the most supportive VC we’ve worked with throughout our pre-seed and seed stages. They’ve been incredibly receptive, open, and always willing to make time for us, whether we’re discussing the company, fundraising, or navigating a challenge. Their support has gone far beyond the investment itself, and it has been an incredible journey building alongside them.”
“Pretiosum backed us at pre-seed alongside EQT and DeepMind/Coinbase angels, when I was just getting started and it was still early days for agentic AI in insurance. Yana saw where this could go before there was much of a business yet to point to. She’s one of the few investors who actually gets where AI replaces real work in a regulated industry, not just where it sounds good in a deck.”
“Yana was one of the first people to back Synthesized, writing a pre-seed check when there was little more than the team and the ambition. She did far more than invest: she flew with us to pitch one of our earliest enterprise customers and helped sharpen both the story and the presentation. Years later, and well beyond our Series A, she remains every bit as engaged, thoughtful and committed.”
