Inventure is a generalist early-stage venture capital firm focused primarily on the Nordics and Baltics, backing the best founders since 2005 across deep tech, consumer, healthtech, AI, B2B SaaS, and more. Their sweet spot is tickets of €1–3 million, maxing out around €5 million, with the ability to invest as low as €200k–€500k to help founders close angel rounds with a strong institutional name. About 60% of each fund is reserved for follow-on funding, and Inventure has been the first institutional investor in approximately 90% of its portfolio. The firm positions itself as a founder-first, trusted local partner — helping set the foundation and momentum for international growth by supporting talent acquisition, international expansion, and follow-on fundraising from top-tier investors.
