Tera Ventures, an early-stage VC firm based in Tallinn, Estonia, has announced the first close of €21 million in its second seed-stage fund. The firm expects the second close in the coming months, with “a substantial amount” already committed, it stated in a press release.
Limited Partners of Tera Ventures second fund include The European Investment Fund (EIF), which invests both from its own resources and through EstFund, LHV, Mistletoe Venture Partners International, as well high net worth individuals from Estonia.
