CMS Sofia advised Elevator Ventures on the investment in a Bulgarian e-commerce...
CMS Sofia successfully advised Elevator Ventures (EV) – a venture capital firm part of Raiffeisen Bank International, on the third round of investment for CloudCart. As part of its strategy to invest and grow digital businesses in the CEE region, EV pinpointed CloudCart as the next rising star among European tech companies. CloudCart’s platform offers end-to-end solutions for SMEs growing their sales online or starting e-commerce businesses from scratch.  Our local team led by Dimitar Zwiatkow together with Ivan Gergov and Elitsa Hinova advised EV on all legal aspects relating to the conclusion of the equity documents. Settling foreign investor relationships with local businesses at times is particularly challenging due to the specifics of the national le­gis­la­tion.  Deals in the private equity and venture capital segment seem to grow in the CEE region and to become increasingly attractive for investors across various industries.
