Webit Investment Network (WIN) with its first capital increase – the Bulgarian investment company ranks in the top 1% globally for portfolio company revenue growth (>3.3x over 24 months).
Webit Investment Network (BSE: WIN) – the public investment company founded by Dr. Plamen Russev and led by a board of proven entrepreneurs and investors such as Ivaylo Slavov (ex Bulpros), Petar Neychev, and Georgi Hristov – announced a new capital increase with the ambitious goal of raising up to 8 million euros through the BEAM market of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange.
WIN combines the best of the venture capital world with the transparency, liquidity, and regulation of public companies. The company has the exclusive right to invest in the finalists of the global Founders Games program – 0.1% of over 5000 companies annually, selected by more than 350 international VC investors. The finals are held in Davos during the World Economic Forum.
Top 1% globally in portfolio company revenue growth
With the help of AI and based on global sources such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, Cambridge Associates, PitchBook, and CB Insights, it was established that WIN is among the Top 1% globally in portfolio company revenue growth – with over 3.3x (>230%) growth over the past 24 months.

“We created WIN for people who think and invest their money long-term – who see the power of Webit and Founders Games, global access to some of the world’s best-growing companies, and the potential for 5–10x return in the next 4–6 years. True value doesn’t come from market noise but from the value of innovation,” says Dr. Plamen Russev, executive board member of WIN, and adds, “for WIN, global economic crises bring success.”
Success story even in times of global crises
WIN conducted its IPO in June 2022 – at a time when Nasdaq was down -40% and the S&P 500 was down -30%. Despite this, the IPO was oversubscribed more than 2.4 times and attracted over 300 new investors to the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (out of more than 650 total participants) through the purchase of WIN shares.
The facts confirm the results: in the first 24 months, the consolidated revenues of WIN's portfolio companies increased by over 230%. The companies have already attracted investment from the World Bank, Rabobank, the world's third-largest telecom group e& (formerly Etisalat), and many other leading global funds. WIN gives its shareholders access to deals available to only 0.1% of investors worldwide—deals that were previously inaccessible to retail investors.
History proves that the best investments are often made during times of crisis. The most successful fund in the history of the industry – Sequoia Capital Fund IX (1999) – was launched in the middle of the dot-com bubble and invested in icons such as Google, PayPal, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Atlassian, delivering returns of 10x to 30x.
Invitation to participate in the capital increase
WIN extends an invitation to all investors who wish to be part of the next wave of growth – at a valuation that still does not reflect the full potential of the portfolio.
The Board of Directors of WIN has approved an issue price of BGN 1.25 for the new shares – compared to a market price of BGN 1.39. The decision is a gesture toward early investors who believed in WIN from the beginning. Now, with a portfolio that includes companies recognized by Time Magazine, Fast Company, and leading funds, investors have the opportunity to participate under the condition of over 230% revenue growth – at a price only 20% higher than the IPO price.
With over 20% annual liquidity on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, WIN is among the most actively traded companies on the BEAM market.
The investment intermediary for the capital increase is Karoll AD – a leading institution with long-standing experience in the capital markets.
