About

Mokafund was started by Lukas Petrikas in 2024.

His last roles in the "real world" were at one of the world’s largest financial exchanges, HKEX. Lukas was involved in building various platforms and technologies that remain successful to this day. These include Hong Kong's central IPO system (which he named FINI), as well as the links that connect China's capital markets with overseas investors, Stock Connect and Bond Connect. Over $45 trillion of trades had already been completed through these platforms as at the end of 2025. Lukas built and ran elite HKEX teams in strategy, digital, data, innovation and corporate finance.

Prior to all that, he was an M&A banker at Rothschild. He worked in particular on bank bailouts and rescue schemes in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, including in the Netherlands, UK, Finland, Denmark and Ireland; as well as on nuclear energy.

Besides Mokafund, Lukas helps corporates, VCs and students on various capital markets topics.

Our investment thesis

“Lukas is a visionary with remarkable analytical skills, dedication, and intellectual depth. His unique ability to think outside the box and see what others often overlook, combined with his methodical, consistent and thorough approach, made him an invaluable asset for me during the years that we worked together.”

Nicolas Aguzin, Former CEO, HKEX

“The greatest friendship a founder can experience is when an investor places unwavering trust in them. I have always received that level of belief and support from Lukas. He isn’t just guiding me on business matters but also acting as a mental coach during moments of deep despair, which every founder experiences at some point. I’ve never seen anyone play that role better than Lukas.”
