Backing high-growth companies across resilience, defence, infrastructure.
Investments
Capital deployment across resilience, infrastructure and high-growth sectors Andriy Dovbenko is a Ukraine-born, UK-based investor with a background in law, asset structuring, and capital deployment across complex and high-risk environments.
His investment activity is diversified across sectors, with a focus on assets and businesses that combine long-term growth potential with operational relevance. This includes agriculture, technology, infrastructure and situations where capital, execution and timing are closely linked.
Investment Perspective
Andriy’s approach to investment is shaped by direct exposure to real-world operating conditions.
Alongside his broader portfolio activity, he operates agricultural land, with exposure across production, storage, logistics and export infrastructure. This includes multi-crop farming, livestock operations and rail-linked grain storage.
This experience provides a practical understanding of asset performance under stress — including land risk, operational continuity, supply chain disruption and recovery in wartime conditions.
As a result, his investment decisions are informed not only by financial metrics, but by execution risk, resilience, and the ability of an asset or business to perform under pressure.
EvrisInvest
Andriy’s investment background includes EVRIS Invest and EVRIS Asset Management, through which he has built exposure to sectors including IT, fintech and agriculture.
These vehicles reflect a broader investment philosophy combining:
disciplined capital allocation
active involvement where relevant
and long-term partnership with founders and operators
His legal and advisory background, including experience within the Big Four and international law firms, provides an additional layer to his investment approach — enabling him to assess structure, jurisdiction, IP protection and exit strategy alongside commercial potential.
Capital in a geopolitical context
Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Andriy has worked closely with investors, family offices and policymakers on questions related to sovereign exposure, food security, and the role of private capital in complex environments.
His work increasingly sits at the intersection of capital deployment; defence and dual-use innovation; and long-term resilience of critical infrastructure.
This includes engagement around how capital can support scalable, post-conflict opportunities — particularly in sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure and defence-adjacent technologies.
Market engagement
Andriy regularly engages with investor and policy communities in the UK and internationally, including parliamentary discussions, defence investment forums and private capital convenings.
His perspective brings together:
direct operational asset ownership
exposure to wartime conditions and data
and investment discipline across multiple sectors
This combination informs his role in discussions with LPs, family offices and institutional stakeholders exploring capital deployment in complex and evolving markets.
