Investment-fund research reviewed 2026-10-06. Publicly identified funds, dates, amounts and fundraising status are below. Undisclosed commitments remain unknown; this is not a complete register of private SPVs or parallel entities.
Fund size, capital and checks
**Named fund size: not verified.** No reliable announcement of a named fund, vintage, target or final close was located in searches covering newer 2024–2026 funds. Keep this field unknown rather than assigning historical deployment or portfolio valuation to it.
| Figure | What it measures | Date / confidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| US$20 million | Cumulative investment into more than 30 companies since launching in September 2014; not a fund close | Forbes Ukraine, 2022-10-20 [S5] |
| US$100 million | Reported valuation of the then-current portfolio; not verified AUM or committed capital | Same historical report [S5] |
| US$50,000–300,000 | Official site's displayed investment range; best interpreted as check guidance, despite appearing below an “investment stage” heading | Undated official page, accessed 2026-10-06 [S2] |
| US$50,000–350,000 | Directory check guidance, conflicting slightly with official site | InVenture directory, undated page, accessed 2026-10-06 [S9] |
These are latest-known relevant figures found, not a claim that 2022 data remains current. No current AUM or outside-LP fundraising structure was verified. Do not populate fund size with any of these numbers.

Imported completed research. Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats.
3. Consider recording official US$50k–300k check guidance with its undated/accessed provenance. Resolve the conflicting US$350k directory maximum before using that figure.
4. Improve Let's Enhance attribution with early-seed/2018 sources and the later US$100k convertible-loan report. Other Adex portfolio entries should retain unknown rounds until verified; portfolio listing is not round metadata.
5. Review the historical Dmytro Bilash appointment against current official team information before adding an ongoing role. Do not transfer his earlier personal investments to the firm.
6. Moodmate and Calmerry are relevant missing investment leads compared with the snapshot, but would support mental-health exposure, not a direct-neurotech tag. Verify original announcements and entity IDs before adding.
7. Recheck Signal manually if available. Newer company rounds reported by aggregators should be traced to primary announcements, especially Altris AI; no portfolio date from a crawler should be reused as a funding date.

# Digital Future — research handoff
- Exact Adex ID: `DigitalFuture`
- Canonical Adex URL: https://adex.page/firms/DigitalFuture
- Research date: 2026-10-06
- Scope: research only. No Adex/database mutations made.
Digital Future is the Ukraine-born early-stage venture investor backing teams with Ukrainian roots pursuing global markets. The official website supports that positioning and names Oleksii Vitchenko as founder. It has credible AI imaging exposure through Let's Enhance and an official portfolio claim for ophthalmic AI company Altris AI; Petcube supplies hardware/IoT exposure but is a weaker fit for a strict scientific deep-tech definition. No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked. No named, closed fund size was verified. [S1–S3]
## Adex and NFX Signal starting evidence
Read the exact-ID raw snapshot `data/research/_sources/DigitalFuture.adex.json`, retrieved 2026-10-06 from read-only localhost MCP Search. Adex describes early-stage AI, SaaS, marketplaces, fintech and healthcare investing, lists Kyiv and founding partner Oleksii Vitchenko, and has null check-size fields. It contains 27 portfolio participations attributed to https://digital-future.org/portfolio , with unknown dates, stages and amounts: Altris AI, Attendify, BeLive, Coureon, FriendlyData, GetOrder, Let's Enhance, LifeTracker, Mobify, Narrative BI, OneNotary, Outloud, Petcube, Preply, PromoRepublic, Pushwoosh, Rallyware, Reply.io, Serpstat, SOC Prime, Softcube, SplitMetrics, Streamline, The Credit Thing, Yope, YouAppi and YouTeam. These are baseline portfolio claims, not 27 independently verified funding rounds. `isLead: false` in such records should not be interpreted as evidence of a non-lead role.
Next attempted the baseline NFX Signal URL https://signal.nfx.com/firms/digital-future . Direct browser access returned an inaccessible/internal-error result. Searches for the exact firm URL/name and Oleksii Vitchenko did not surface a readable exact-firm or associated investor profile. Thus no Signal fund, check-size, sector or stage claims were available to assess. This is an access limitation, not evidence that the firm or profile does not exist. Neither Signal nor Adex was treated as independent verification.
## Fund size, capital and checks
**Named fund size: not verified.** No reliable announcement of a named fund, vintage, target or final close was located in searches covering newer 2024–2026 funds. Keep this field unknown rather than assigning historical deployment or portfolio valuation to it.
| Figure | What it measures | Date / confidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| US$20 million | Cumulative investment into more than 30 companies since launching in September 2014; not a fund close | Forbes Ukraine, 2022-10-20 [S5] |
| US$100 million | Reported valuation of the then-current portfolio; not verified AUM or committed capital | Same historical report [S5] |
| US$50,000–300,000 | Official site's displayed investment range; best interpreted as check guidance, despite appearing below an “investment stage” heading | Undated official page, accessed 2026-10-06 [S2] |
| US$50,000–350,000 | Directory check guidance, conflicting slightly with official site | InVenture directory, undated page, accessed 2026-10-06 [S9] |
These are latest-known relevant figures found, not a claim that 2022 data remains current. No current AUM or outside-LP fundraising structure was verified. Do not populate fund size with any of these numbers.
## Investment stages and mandate
The current accessible homepage says early-stage rounds. The about page says Digital Future generally accepts business-scaling risk, seeks initial traction, clear business model, sizable market and a strong team, and only rarely invests pre-seed, preferring top-accelerator graduates when it does. Its listed sectors are AI, SaaS/marketplaces, B2B/B2C, fintech and healthcare. Early seed is transaction-supported by the Let's Enhance announcement; do not extrapolate a blanket later-stage mandate from individual follow-on rounds. [S1, S2, S4]
Forbes reported Dmytro Bilash's appointment as managing partner in October 2022, with a B2B/SaaS/marketplace focus. The official site presently displays the founder but does not resolve Bilash's current status. That historical appointment merits review before any team update. Bilash's earlier personal angel deals, including Liki24, are not Digital Future investments on this evidence. [S5]
## Previous deep-tech investments
Classification here is an analytical assessment based on the technology, separate from the strength of investor attribution.
| Company | Technology and classification | Digital Future attribution / round evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Let's Enhance** | Neural-network image upscaling and reconstruction: a credible applied computer-vision/deep-learning example, although commercially delivered as SaaS. [S4] | Firm announcement explicitly says it provided **early seed** financing; contemporaneous reporting dated 2018-07-17 confirms the investment and originally undisclosed amount. Forbes later reported a **US$100,000 convertible loan in 2018**. Treat the later disclosure as a loan amount, not the entire round. [S4, S6, S7] |
| **Altris AI** | AI analysis of retinal OCT images and biomarkers: credible medical-imaging algorithm technology. Official company material describes vendor-neutral OCT image management and research-use AI models; do not overstate clinical or regulatory authorization. This is ophthalmology imaging, not direct neurotechnology. [S8] | Digital Future's official portfolio lists Altris AI. Firm-level attribution supported; no official funding announcement naming Digital Future with a reliable round/date/amount was found. A directory's June 2024 seed entry is a follow-up lead, not adopted transaction metadata. [S3, S10] |
| **Petcube** | Connected pet cameras/remote interaction devices: hardware and IoT exposure, but scientific novelty was not established well enough to count confidently as strict deep tech. [S3] | Official portfolio and firm news establish portfolio status. Firm news celebrates a **US$10 million Series A** but lists other round investors; an AVentures-issued industry release dated 2018-03-08 includes Digital Future among the 2017 round's investors. Whole-round amount is not Digital Future's check; obtain the original company round announcement before assigning precise participation metadata. [S11, S12] |
FriendlyData is another AI/NLP portfolio lead, but its enterprise query interface alone is insufficient here to establish a strict deep-tech classification. Ordinary SaaS investments such as Reply.io, Preply and Attendify should not automatically receive a deep-tech tag. [S3]
## Previous neurotech investments
**No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked.** Searches covered the official portfolio, firm news, exact-name neurotechnology/brain/EEG/BCI queries, and the mental-health and LifeTracker leads below. This is not a claim of zero such investments.
- **Moodmate — adjacent mental health, not verified direct neurotech.** TechUkraine reports a first **US$200,000 total round**, led by Digital Future alongside angel investor Mikita Mikado, on 2021-12-10. The described apps/bots support mood improvement and behavioral methods; no neural sensing, stimulation, BCI or brain-targeted device was established. The whole round is not the firm's check. [S13]
- **Calmerry — adjacent mental-health services.** Forbes explicitly says Digital Future invested **US$5 million** into Vitchenko's online-therapy business as of 2022-10-20. Its psychotherapy marketplace does not establish neurotechnology exposure. The source does not establish an exact investment date, and aggregator labels vary, so leave stage/date unverified. [S5]
- **LifeTracker — general AI/productivity.** The official portfolio describes automatic task/activity categorization. A firm-authored article dated 2016-05-19 explains artificial neural networks by analogy with brains; that analogy is not evidence of neural technology in the company. [S3, S14]
- **Altris AI — adjacent ophthalmic imaging.** Do not infer brain imaging or neural interfaces merely because retinal/optic structures are involved. Company sources checked describe retinal OCT analysis. [S8]
## Concrete notes for a later Adex reviewer
1. Preserve exact ID `DigitalFuture` and website https://digital-future.org/ . Do not merge with Digital Futures at KTH, Einstein Center Digital Future, Digital Future Society, Digital Future Alliance or charity funds sharing the phrase.
2. Keep fund size and current AUM unknown. Separate historical deployment (US$20m) and portfolio valuation (US$100m), dated October 2022. SHOW MORE
