We have various criteria, which we evaluate before making an investment decision. The most common areas for evaluation are the investment proposal, team composition, track record, fundraising plan, exit strategy and other relevant topics for each investment initiative.

Performance and impact target

We seek market level long-term capital appreciation, together with a positive impact on Estonian economy.
