Investing
First institutional capital for Baltic technology startups.
We invest when the team is convinced and the evidence is still early. Our aim is to be the first professional investor a founder can count on, and to stay with the company through its next rounds.
Investment thesis
Strong teams, real problems, international ambition.
We back founders who solve concrete problems for businesses or consumers with technology, and who are building for markets far larger than the Baltics. We prefer capital-efficient companies with a clear path to their next milestone over growth at any cost.
Because we also consult startups, we see companies long before they raise. That gives us a deeper understanding of teams and markets than a single pitch can, and allows us to commit early and decisively.
