High-speed VC fund and an accelerator for tech startups in the Baltics.
About us
FIRSTPICK is a high-speed VC fund and an accelerator for tech startups in the Baltics. We are investing in Fintech, SaaS, Deeptech and Consumer marketplaces, but are not limited to those. Our initial ticket is €50-€250K, but we can invest up to €1M into a single company through follow-on rounds. Idea stage startups can use our equity free grants to get started. Founders access our bulletproof combo of investment and know-how through our pre-acceleration and acceleration programs. While founders train for the marathon, we are like coaches running by their side and supporting them from the idea to the growth stage. Our portfolio startups receive a precious early market access, impactful partnerships, and deep expertise of the early stage. Our capital consists of funds from private investors, the founding team, and an investment from the Lithuanian state-financed INVEGA fund, which is part of the Accelerator 2 program, funded by the Innovation Promotion Fund.

🇱🇻 Riga, we came, we saw, we VC’d! Jokūbas Vaičiulis and Andra Bagdonaite landed in Riga to check out what’s up and coming in the Latvian startup ecosystem, meet founders, and catch up with local friends. 🥰 A few highlights from the trip: 🟣 Andra gave a 💬 keynote on "Mastering the Term Sheet" (or how not to get shortchanged) at the Latvian Business Angels Network Angels Training. Big thanks 🙏 to Cyril Golub for the invite! 🟣 Together with Latvian Startup Association Startin.LV, we hosted open office hours, meeting founders and exploring their ambitious ideas. 🟣 Naturally, we wrapped things up over dinner that we hosted with Vendep Capital and Superangel.io, chatting with early-stage founders where the only "deal breakers" were the appetizers. 😏 Paldies and catch you later, Riga. 💜 #FIRSTPICK #vc #funding #investment #Latvia #networking
