In this episode, we speak with Emilia Mamajova, Managing Partner at Everita Capital and founding partner of Espira Investments. Emilia shares her journey from being the only woman on a 20-person investment team to launching two private equity funds focused on supporting small and medium-sized businesses across Central and Eastern Europe. Her approach combines hands-on support, digital transformation, and a clear thesis: people-first companies create lasting value.
We explore how Emilia identifies overlooked companies with strong potential, what growth capital actually means beyond the money, and how diversity is not just the right thing to do but a smart market opportunity. If you are a founder scaling an SME or thinking about partnering with an investor who brings more than capital, this episode is for you.
