Overview

Specialist VC mainly invests in B2B, SaaS, fintech, platforms, software enabled hardware and deep tech, but they don’t limit themselves to those areas. The main focus of Specialist VC Fund II is on pre-seed and seed stage startups, but the fund is distinguished as being the first of its kind in the Baltic region to implement a dual strategy of integrating secondary transactions into a traditional venture capital fund. 

The new fund will invest in over 40 startups from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland, including founders from these countries who are building their startup elsewhere in the world, and founders from Ukraine and Belarus who are building their businesses in the European  Union. The fund will focus on, but is not limited to, investing in tech startups raising pre-seed and seed rounds in B2B, SaaS, fintech, platforms, software-enabled hardware, Web3, and deep tech verticals. A third of the fund volume is reserved for opportunity investing in secondary transactions into companies beyond Series A.
