Elena Vysotskaia
Founder & CEO
Elena founded Astra around a simple idea:
Private technology should be approached as a long term portfolio relationship, not a sequence of disconnected transactions.
Capital. Technology. Relationships.
Elena’s background spans private banking, family offices, private markets and private technology investing.
Before founding Astra, she worked with international families and private investors at UBS in Zurich across complex cross border wealth and investment relationships.
Her work subsequently expanded into venture and private technology, bringing together relationships across investors, shareholders, founders and the broader technology ecosystem.
Built from the investor side.
Astra Intelligence was first built for Astra’s own investment work.
That experience shaped a principle behind the firm:
The company matters. The investment matters too.
Price, ownership, structure, liquidity and potential returns can be as consequential as the quality of the underlying company.
International by nature.
Elena’s experience spans Europe, the United States and global technology markets.
She studied at Columbia University and London Business School.
