Insta Ventures

Insta Ventures is a venture capital firm that has been investing in various IT technology sectors since 2019. Their investment team comprises experienced professionals with solid backgrounds in the IT sphere, aiming to help ambitious teams create innovative products, spread them globally, and maintain fast-growing companies. They typically invest between $100K and $500K during the growing stage of a company's lifecycle (seed, late seed, pre-round A), assisting in developing marketing and sales strategies and preparing the company for the next investment phase.

The firm focuses on fast-growing, disruptive IT/tech companies with a global scope, generating $0.1 to $1 million in annual recurring revenue. They appreciate co-investments and partner with multiple venture funds, accelerators, and business angels. Insta Ventures is open to co-investing alongside lead investors, with a preference for cases with proven traction, such as companies with over €15K in monthly revenue.

Insta Ventures has invested in several companies, including Fluent Forever, Otis, Ex-Human, ROOK, HuLoop, AI-powered analytics and automation platform for media buyers, an all-in-one app for making AI videos and images, Bairro, Adwisely, Pop Market, Cizoo, and Wolf3D. They have a strong presence in the Nordics and Baltics, with 70% of their deals originating from Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania, 15% from Central and Eastern Europe, and 15% from other global regions. They avoid investments in mobile gaming and hardware but find hardware-enabled software ventures compelling.

Insta Ventures' investment strategy emphasizes quick decision-making, approving investment deals in just 1-2 months after the first meeting. They see their role as more than just providing capital, aiming to be great communicators for startups and assisting in connecting various stakeholders to foster growth and success.
