EVO VC & Startups was founded in 2025 as a venture-driven platform connecting startups with capital and offering a structured path to growth.

Created by Gozel Akyeva, co-founder of the Tech + Startups Community, which grew from a single event in Miami into a global network of 12,000+ founders, investors, and innovators across 24 cities in 8 countries.

EVO builds on this foundation, combining the spirit of community with a clear venture focus.

Its mission is to accelerate global innovation through collaboration, transformation, and meaningful impact, empowering startups and investors to grow together.
