Tera Ventures

Tera Ventures is an early-stage venture firm based in Estonia, investing in technology companies across the Baltics, broader Central and Eastern Europe, and selectively beyond. The firm operates with a generalist mandate that includes software, marketplaces, fintech, and adjacent technology themes, and check sizes typically range from two hundred fifty thousand to one and a half million euros at seed and pre-Series A, often as a lead or significant participant in a syndicate. The natural fit is a Baltic or Central and Eastern European technology company with a defined buyer, articulate founder thesis, and early commercial signals or strong founder credibility. Healthcare AI founders can engage if the company has clear regional ambitions or the founders are anchored in the Baltic ecosystem, where the firm’s network of operators, follow-on investors, and corporate partners creates real value. Companies focused exclusively on the United States or major European markets without a regional Baltic anchor, or those building therapeutics and complex devices that require specialized healthcare expertise, are unlikely to fit. Founders should not expect deep clinical or regulatory coaching, and should value the firm’s regional ecosystem connectivity rather than healthcare domain expertise. The best entry path is a warm introduction from a portfolio CEO, an Estonian or Baltic operator, or a fellow regional investor. Direct outreach via the firm’s website or LinkedIn to partners is acceptable for cold contact, paired with a tight executive summary, regional context, and traction signals.
