Trind VC

Trind VC is a venture capital firm based in Tallinn, Estonia, with additional offices in Helsinki, Finland, and Munich, Germany. Established in 1999, the firm specializes in investing in early-stage European software startups that incorporate consumer or community components, such as marketplaces, consumer tech, and B2B companies with product-led growth strategies. With over 20 years of experience as business angels, founders, and VCs, Trind VC focuses on scaling B2B and B2C companies that benefit end-users through software solutions.

The firm's investment approach emphasizes metrics-driven assessments, prioritizing companies with enthusiastic teams, community-driven business models, and a clear path to a defensible competitive position. In September 2022, Trind VC closed its second fund, raising €55 million to invest in 30–40 startups over four years, with backing from institutional investors like the European Investment Fund and Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment). The firm's typical investment size ranges from €100,000 to €1 million, with follow-on capacity of up to €5 million per company.

Trind VC is open to leading seed rounds or co-investing with both angel syndicates and VCs, aiming to be long-term partners for the startups they support. Their portfolio includes companies such as Tise, Neural DSP, Ready Player Me, Jobilla, Fractory, and eAgronoom. The firm has a strong track record of successful exits, including the acquisition of Tise by eBay in September 2025 and the acquisition of Chatchamp by trbo in February 2023. Trind VC's team comprises experienced professionals with diverse backgrounds, including investment associates, partners, and a chief operating officer, all dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs in scaling their businesses effectively.
