COO at ZAKA VC
Check size: ZAKA does not publish a standard company check-size range; its site discloses a €130K minimum ticket for qualified fund investors, which is not a startup check size.
The official roster identifies Richard Kopunik as COO. This is a fund team or operating role; no direct investment mandate or personal signing authority is inferred.
Lead with founder-market fit, the specific problem, differentiated product or technology, evidence of demand, market size, round stage and why the opportunity matches ZAKA VC's published focus. Address the role of COO without assuming individual check authority.
At firm level, ZAKA VC is aligned with back globally ambitious entrepreneurs in Europe and North America, with particular interest in health, biotech and industrial technologies that can scale sustainably. This is firm-level guidance, not an invented personal preference.
No personal pass list is public. Opportunities outside ZAKA VC's stated stages, sectors, geography or team criteria should be treated as lower fit rather than a confirmed personal rejection rule.
