our story

Outlast Fund is built by investors and operators from the Baltics and Nordics. This region is where we started, and it remains at the center of what we do. Our focus is on founders who are not chasing quick wins but building companies designed to outlast the noise.

Over the past decade, we have worked directly with entrepreneurs through VNTRS, VEQ, Techstars, Startup Wise Guys, and Helve. That experience taught us a simple truth: ambition is never the problem. Access is. The right networks, resources, and guidance make the difference between a company that fades and one that lasts.

We invest with that in mind. Our capital is accompanied by practical involvement and operational support

We also look where others don’t. In a venture market that often favors the familiar, we search for founders at the margins. The ones overlooked or underestimated. They are often the ones with the ideas that reshape industries.

we have built. we have been backed. now we back you.

We work alongside founders,

not from a distance. Our role is

to extend your reach, open doors beyond your immediate market, and strengthen the foundations that allow businesses to scale responsibly and sustainably.
