Announcement date: January 14, 2026 · 2080 Ventures
We have expanded our presence in Georgia, with Tbilisi serving as a base for deeper work across the Caucasus and Eastern Europe.
The expansion builds on our existing programs, mentoring, and partnerships in the country. It adds a stronger focus on direct investment in Georgian founders alongside practical support for companies preparing to grow beyond their home market.
Our renewed collaboration with GITA, Startup Büro, and Founder Institute supports an accelerator format adapted to the stage of each business. The emphasis is on execution, customer learning, and helping founders work toward their first revenue.
The announcement, published by Forbes Georgia on January 14, 2026, set out plans to consider investment in strong accelerator participants as well as exceptional companies outside the program. It reflects our intention to build a sustained relationship with Georgia’s founder community.
