Yasam Ayavefe Builds Investment Firm Across Three Continents
Yasam Ayavefe
Today, Milaya Capital operates from offices in London, Dubai, and Athens, managing investments across construction, real estate, retail, hospitality, and technology. The firm has backed ventures in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, throughout the UK, and across the Balkans.
Technical Skills Meet Investment Strategy
Ayavefe's education spans Computer Engineering and International Relations from the University of Kyrgyzstan, plus a doctorate in Economics. This combination helps him evaluate both technical feasibility and market dynamics in potential investments.
His telecommunications background taught practical lessons about operational complexity and the gap between promising technology and profitable business. Understanding which technology trends represent genuine innovation versus temporary hype helps separate durable businesses from market enthusiasm.
Strategic Geographic Positioning
Milaya Capital's three-office structure serves distinct purposes. London provides access to European capital markets. Dubai offers Middle East connections and emerging market proximity. Athens bridges Balkan investments and European opportunities.
The firm's portfolio includes The Black Penny hospitality concept and various technology platforms. Ayavefe maintains discretion about specific holdings until ventures reach operational maturity, but the mix balances growth-oriented technology with stable asset-backed businesses.
Investment Approach
Milaya Capital targets talented entrepreneurs with strong fundamentals rather than following sector trends. This sometimes means backing businesses overlooked by larger institutional investors, accepting longer development timelines for ventures that can perform through economic cycles.
Ayavefe considers macroeconomic factors in portfolio construction. Trade tensions, currency fluctuations, and regulatory changes all influence positioning. The firm builds portfolios designed to weather various scenarios rather than betting on specific outcomes.
Portfolio Balance and Sustainability
The portfolio mixes technology investments with real estate and hospitality holdings for risk management. When technology markets face corrections, traditional assets can maintain portfolio value. When consumer spending contracts, technology may continue growing.
Ayavefe positions sustainability as business strategy rather than corporate responsibility. He argues environmental considerations directly impact long-term investment performance through effects on real estate values, supply chains, and regulatory environments. Ventures must demonstrate consideration of environmental impact alongside financial projections.
Active Portfolio Management
Milaya Capital offers portfolio companies operational expertise, strategic guidance, and network access across its three regional offices. The firm employs professionals with sector experience to provide practical assistance beyond governance oversight. Early ventures may need frequent strategic input, mature businesses might require only quarterly oversight.
Navigating Current Markets
Interest rate increases and economic uncertainty have compressed valuations across venture capital. Ayavefe's response emphasizes fundamental business quality over growth metrics. The firm has adjusted deployment pace while maintaining investment activity, seeking opportunities when other investors retreat.
Milaya Capital's multi-sector, multi-geography approach aims to smooth portfolio volatility. Whether this delivers superior risk-adjusted returns will be demonstrated through exit results over time.
The firm maintains active interest in new opportunities across its target sectors and geographies. Information is available at www.yasamayavefe.io
