Trind Ventures

Trind Ventures is a seed-stage 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 European software startups that incorporate consumer or community components, such as marketplaces, consumer tech, and B2B companies with product-led growth strategies. Their 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 Ventures 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. They are 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.

Trind Ventures has a track record of successful investments, including the acquisition of their portfolio company Tise by eBay in September 2025. This exit highlights the firm's ability to identify and support high-potential startups in the European market. Their focus on consumer and community-driven businesses positions them as a key player in the venture capital landscape, particularly in the Nordic and Baltic regions.
