Limassol, Cyprus. Seven Cyprus-based startups closed funding rounds in the first four months of 2026, bringing total disclosed capital raised to over €12 million. The deals span artificial intelligence, robotics, property technology, financial technology and mobile gaming.


Funding activity and investor mix

Investors participating in the rounds came from Cyprus, Greece, Latvia and Eastern Europe.

As the ecosystem heads into summer, the Doers Summit is scheduled to take place from May 21 to May 22, with organisers expecting more than 10,000 founders, investors and operators in Limassol.

Aina

Aina raised $1,000,000 (approximately €854,000) in a seed round in January 2026 backed by private angel investors.

The Limassol-based company has developed an AI-powered hiring platform that automates recruitment for employers and candidates, including interviews, screening and coaching. The company reports more than 2,000 interviews conducted, over 300 roles filled, and a 100 per cent probation success rate to date. Aina was founded by Natallia Mikhnovets, who previously held senior HR roles at scale.

Naoma

Naoma raised $440,000 (approximately €376,000) in a pre-seed round in January 2026 led by ULTRA.VC, with participation from Sparkle Ventures and a group of angel investors.

The Nicosia-based startup built an AI video sales agent that delivers live, personalised product demonstrations inside a client’s software environment without a scheduled call. Co-founder Dmitry Zakharov previously served as Head of SMB Sales at PandaDoc.

Autonomics

Autonomics closed a $1,000,000 (approximately €854,000) bridge round in March 2026 led by Kinisis Ventures through its KV Fund II, alongside existing strategic investor ASBISc Enterprises.

The company manufactures autonomous cleaning robots for indoor, outdoor and hybrid industrial environments and developed SPARC, a proprietary fleet orchestration platform for facilities management operators. Its robots are deployed at the Four Seasons Astir Palace hotel in Athens.

Resitech

Resitech received €640,000 through a minority stake acquisition in March 2026.

Athens-listed fintech group Qualco acquired a 34 per cent stake in the Nicosia-based company in a transaction structured as a combination of fresh capital and a secondary share purchase. Qualco listed on the Athens Stock Exchange in May 2025 at a market capitalisation of approximately €400 million. Resitech operates a B2B real estate data and property analytics platform across Cyprus and Greece.

Moving Doors

Moving Doors raised $6,000,000 (approximately €5,124,000) in April 2026 in the largest single round of the year.

Greek private equity fund Golden Age Capital acquired a majority stake in the Limassol-based proptech company. Moving Doors manages more than 500 fully serviced apartments across Cyprus, Athens and Dubai through its proprietary property management platform. Golden Age Capital said the acquisition is the first step in a buy-and-build strategy targeting Europe’s living sector, with a stated target of 3,500 units under management.

INXY

INXY raised $4,000,000 (approximately €3,416,000) in April 2026 as an extension of its seed round, again led by Flashpoint, bringing total seed funding to $7 million.

INXY is an EU-authorised payment platform providing stablecoin and crypto-to-fiat infrastructure for businesses requiring cross-border payments, including advertising networks, gaming companies and software-as-a-service platforms. The company holds a Virtual Asset Service Provider licence in Poland and operates offices in Cyprus and Warsaw. Founder and CEO Ruslan Zholik said demand for stablecoin payment infrastructure grew fivefold in 2026 compared with the previous year.

Soloband Games

Soloband Games closed a Series A round of undisclosed size in April 2026 backed by Zubr Capital, the Limassol-headquartered growth equity firm managing $250 million across a portfolio of 30 technology companies.

The studio’s flagship mobile title, World Tour Merge, has surpassed one million downloads and has a 4.8 player rating. The team of 25 includes veterans from mobile game studios Playrix and Melsoft.
