For investors
In 2024, we joined forces with Czechoslovak Group (CSG) and launched our third fund, Presto Tech Horizons. We'll back 40 to 60 global tech companies at the forefront of security, defense, and aerospace.
In turbulent times, individuals, businesses, and institutions turn to the defense and security tech space for guidance. Investors and entrepreneurs alike want to stay ahead of emerging threats – but struggle with entry barriers and associated risks. Presto Tech Horizons addresses these issues and unlocks unprecedented opportunities.
