About DiasVia

Where verified companies find cross-border partners

DiasVia is the verified directory connecting companies seeking cross-border trade and supplier partnerships across Central Europe.

Our story

Private markets across Central and Eastern Europe remain opaque. Diaspora investors want to put capital and expertise back into businesses they understand, yet lack trusted channels to find verified SME counterparties across borders.

DiasVia was founded to close that gap: a single platform for discovery, matching, and structured partnerships between diaspora investors, business partners, and privately held SMEs. Every participant is verified before any introduction, because trust is the product.

Our launch focus is the CEE region + Ukraine, backed by original research conducted at The London School of Economics, UK (2026), showing strong diaspora willingness to pay for verified access. We are onboarding early partners now; investors, SMEs, and advisors who want transparent private market infrastructure, not anonymous listings.

Founders

Two co-founders building DiasVia from research to marketplace.

Nicolas Mauer

Co-founder & CEO

Drives corridor strategy, SME and investor relationships, and partnerships across Slovakia, Ukraine, and diaspora communities in Europe and North America.

Nicolas brings ten years of experience across M&A advisory, real estate development, CEE focused hedge fund investment analysis, and fintech. Most recently at Schuman Financial, where he works at the frontier of MiCA compliant stablecoin infrastructure in Europe.

He holds a Master's in Financial Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam and completed the Executive Global Masters in Management at The London School of Economics & Political Science, UK, following earlier studies at the University of Economics Bratislava and exchange programmes at UC Berkeley and Leuven.

When not building DiasVia, Nicolas trains in kickboxing, swims, and considers the dance floor a perfectly legitimate business networking venue, especially when George Michael is playing, which is never a matter of debate 🕺🏻.

Sandeep Jha

Co-founder & CTO

Leads product vision and platform architecture for DiasVia, from verified onboarding flows to the marketplace experience that connects diaspora capital with SME opportunities across the corridor.

Sandeep is an enterprise software leader with about 20 years scaling SaaS products across Southeast Asia. Most recently, running the Liferay SEA business. Built and lead regional GTM engines for enterprise software companies selling into complex, regulated SEA markets, such as, BFSI, government, healthcare, and telco.

He holds an Executive Masters in Management from The London School of Economics & Political Science, UK and before that, a Bachelor in Engineering in Computer Science from Nagpur University, India.

When not building DiasVia, Sandeep can be found at a Squash court nearby, or more recently at a game of Pickle-ball. Sandeep doesn't mind hitting the dance floor with Nicolas, however, prefers heavy metal and Sufi rock 🤘.
