Alex Chikunov

I'm the Founding Partner of Verb Ventures, a London-based early-stage VC fund investing in B2B digital infrastructure for global trade. We back startups across the full trade stack — procurement, supply chain, and trade finance — in niche industries including maritime, construction, and aviation. I've spent over a decade in early-stage venture, with a track record of exits to global corporates including Nestlé. I'm currently deploying Fund II at Verb Ventures. My areas of expertise include B2B SaaS, vertical software, supply chain technology, trade finance, and the application of AI to industrial and logistics workflows. I regularly write and speak on emerging technology topics including agentic AI, vertical SaaS, and the digitisation of global trade.
