ALTUM partnerhip
Outlast Fund is thrilled to partner with ALTUM through the Pre-Seed and Seed Stage Venture Capital Fund program, supported by the European Regional Development Fund.
This collaboration creates opportunities to invest in startups and innovation that align with the EU’s priorities, digital transformation, green transition, and strengthening economic resilience.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The initiative is backed by ALTUM and financed by the European Union via the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as part of Latvia’s national recovery strategy. The total fund amounts to €20.67 million, with €18.6 million provided by ALTUM and the remainder from private co-investors. Operating between 2024 and 2034, the fund will actively invest over the first five years, focusing on pre-seed and seed-stage startups.
Our mission is to empower globally minded founders from Latvia and the wider Baltic and Nordic region. Startups are evaluated against strict selection standards in line with EU rules and ALTUM’s investment framework.
COLLABORATION WITH ALTUM
At Outlast Fund, we back founders who build companies with the resilience to outlast trends — ventures that, in hindsight, feel inevitable. We see Latvia and the broader Baltic-Nordic region as fertile ground for globally ambitious businesses. But unlocking that potential requires more than capital. It calls for conviction, first-principles thinking, deep domain expertise, and access to strong operator-led networks that guide, challenge, and accelerate meaningful growth.
This is where ALTUM’s support becomes transformative. For the first time, a true bridge is emerging that connects Baltic and Nordic synergies, creating a stronger ecosystem for innovation.
Together with ALTUM, we are proving that early-stage capital in the Baltics can be fast, founder-friendly, and genuinely value-adding.
THROUGH THIS COLLABORATION, WE:
-
Invest equity into early-stage ventures led by Baltic and Nordic-rooted founders with global ambitions
-
Contribute to Latvia’s and Europe’s long-term goals of innovation, sustainability, and inclusive growth
TRANSPARENCY AND PUBLICITY
All activities comply with EU visibility requirements. This includes:
-
Displaying the EU emblem with the statement “Funded by the European Union”
-
Sharing project goals, updates, and results through our website and social media
