01

What is FIRSTPICK investing in?

We back early-stage Baltic founders at inception and pre-seed. We’re a generalist fund with a strong focus on AI-first software. We are looking for startups with a strong founding team and a global vision – from the earliest stages of idea validation, to first traction and revenue.

02

What matters?

We’re looking for founder-product-market fit – why you, why this product and why now. We want to understand the urgency behind your idea, what makes you the right person to build it, and that you’ve thought hard about how much capital you actually need and why.

03

What is the process?

Fill in a 4-minute application form and we’ll get back to you within 48 hours. From there, you’ll have a call with the investment team. If we see a fit, we’ll plan 2-3 additional meetings until we can make a decision. No lengthy processes, no gatekeeping.

04

Does FIRSTPICK always lead investment rounds?

We like to lead and we like to be in early. That said, we’re flexible. Sometimes co-leading or co-investing is the right call, and we’re not too proud to admit it.
