About us

Tera Ventures is an international investment firm based in Estonia. Tera helps some of Europe’s most disruptive technology companies scale and become global leaders. We back ambitious founders and their compelling visions at pre-seed and seed stage. Founded in 2016, Tera Ventures has 12 active investments in its first fund (that we previously managed under SmartCap). We are also proud of our previous exits from GrabCAD, Modesat, VitalFields, Startup Wise Guys, and others. The team at Tera Ventures consists of investors and advisors from around the world who have created exceptional value and personally made the journey from founders to acquisition or IPO of several digital tech companies. We believe in and strongly support founders and great teams and possess a very Silicon Valley-approach to helping our companies – we have worked in all weather conditions and life cycles of startups and are there to support our clients’ success. We are tenacious, ambitious and experienced in making it happen. Whatever it takes. We have a presence in Estonia and Finland, plus global contacts and experience. We leverage and create access to global markets and capital pools, as well as value creation and realization for our portfolio companies. As former global entrepreneurs ourselves, we have walked in the shoes of our clients, and we place the relationships with our founders at the heart of our business.

    AI Clearing for wind farms! We are pleased to announce the launch of a new AI-powered platform for general contractors, developers, and assets owners dedicated to wind farms. Our AI-powered platform, designed for general contractors, developers, and asset owners, offers a unique advantage: tracking progress and monitoring the quality of wind farm construction across all construction stages, from the foundation process to civil and earthworks, trenching, and cable and connector installation. Our solutions also ensure precise control over fencing, trespassing, and HSE compliance. Finally, AI Clearing provides tracking of wind turbine element assembly, leaving no aspect of the construction process unmonitored. Thanks to the power of our proprietary Artificial Intelligence, all reports are delivered in less than 24 hours for all your sites, even the largest / fragmented ones. The use of various data sources (drones, satellites, GIS) allows for the highest accuracy, up to 1 inch / 2 cm. Our platform, rigorously tested on sites across the US and Europe, has proven to be a reliable and effective solution for wind farm construction. It is a testament to our commitment to providing a platform that elevates the entire construction process of wind farms. #ai #construction #renewables #wind

    Breaking the news of our investment in Mifundo as part of their €10m award🎉 Excited to be backing Kaido Saar's vision to establish a truly unified credit market in the EU, reducing financial inequality and providing better access to financial services for all European citizens 🇪🇺 💶 So why did we invest? - credit scoring is one of the last missing pieces of the puzzle when it comes to boarderless international banking - while there are some initiatives in other regions, the offer for European citizens, even in the single market, is not adequate - It's crazy today that portability of your credit records is still stuck in the stone age. If you can move everything else, why can't you bring your credit record with you to take out a loan to buy a new home when you move country? Alongside our backing Mifundo has also been awarded €2.5M grant funding, alongside a decision for €6,3M in matched funding approved by the prestigious European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Accelerator program from the European Investment Bank (EIB), making it the first fintech company in Europe to receive such an award. Tera joins Opus11 VC ,Mihkel Karu (ex-Skype) and Sergei Anikin (ex-Pipedrive).
