Investor insights

Of course this entire initiative would not be possible without the dedicated fund managers who are aligned with BIF’s strategic focus.

We asked our fund managers some questions, here’s what they had to say.

1. Tell us a little bit about the fundraising environment in the Baltic region before BIF was launched in 2012

Change Ventures

Before BIF, there were very few venture capital funds in the region that struggled to raise capital and to execute their strategies.

2. How do you feel BIF has had an impact on the Baltic market?

BPM Capital

BIF has created greater levels of equity investments in the Baltic countries than ever before.

3. What are some interesting facts about investing on a pan-Baltic level?

Livonia

Investing on a pan-Baltic level gives the funds access to more diverse and exciting investment opportunities.

4. What would be three points to emphasize to foreign investors about the Baltics?

INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund

The Baltics is an attractive investment destination. The region combines high-growth economies.

5. What are the top three next big things in the Baltics?
