Investment thesis

Specialist is an early-stage venture capital fund investing from pre-seed to Series A, with select secondaries at A+. It backs forward-thinking founders across the Baltics, Finland and Ukraine, focusing mainly on B2B, SaaS, fintech, platforms, software-enabled hardware and deep tech, while remaining open to other areas. The fund emphasizes long-term relationships, often supporting companies through several funding rounds, and offers founders access to a network of people and resources. Its LP base includes founders and early employees of regional tech success stories as well as domain specialists.
