What we do
Three ways we work with founders.
Each line of work stands on its own, and together they let us follow a company from first business plan to its first institutional round.
Startup consulting
Strategy, business model, financial planning, company setup and fundraising readiness. Practical support from people who have built and financed companies themselves.
Consulting servicesPre-seed & seed financing
First institutional cheques for technology-driven Baltic startups, with the flexibility to lead, co-lead or join rounds alongside local and international co-investors.
Investment approachLithuanian Startup Investment Fund
We are setting up and will manage a dedicated Lithuanian venture vehicle that pools capital from institutional, corporate and private investors into a diversified early-stage portfolio.
Fund overviewWhy the Baltics
A small region that builds companies for the world.
With small home markets, Baltic founders build for international customers from day one. Strong engineering talent, digital-first public services and lean cost bases make the region one of Europe’s most capital-efficient startup ecosystems.
- Global from day one
- Small home markets push teams to sell across Europe and beyond early on, exactly the mindset that scales.
- Deep technical talent
- Strong universities and a mature software, fintech, laser and life-science industry provide experienced engineers and operators.
- Digital infrastructure
- E-government, e-residency and fast company formation keep friction low for founders and investors alike.
- An early-stage funding gap
- Good ideas often stall between grants, angels and the first institutional round. That is precisely the stage we focus on.
