Sviatoslava Luhovets

Sviatoslava Luhovets is an Investment Analyst at Geek Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm with a sector-agnostic approach. In this capacity, she evaluates pre-seed and seed-stage investment opportunities across the software-as-a-service, hardware, and deep technology sectors. Luhovets supports a growing portfolio of over 60 immigrant-founded startups, helping facilitate initial check sizes ranging from $50,000 to $1 million out of the firm's $23 million inaugural fund that closed in June 2023. Working alongside firm partners and founders Ihar Mahaniok and Vadim Rogovskiy, she assists with ongoing portfolio management and strategic support for emerging companies such as Zendata, which recently secured a $2.0 million seed round, as well as ShapesXR and Spice AI. Her current focus remains centered on identifying promising immigrant-led technology enterprises and guiding them through their critical early funding rounds and initial operational scaling phases.
