One of the largest early stage investors in Europe

Since Startup Wise Guys birth in 2012 in the tech-savvy Estonia, we have invested in more than 300+ early-stage startups with founders from more than 40 countries. We are also the most experienced accelerator in the region with 35+ programs up to date and the strongest footprint in CEE and CIS countries.

Portfolio exits and success stories

Our Portfolio has 11 exits. Year 2016 brought us the first major exit of VitalFields that was acquired by the Climate Corporation, in 2019 StepShot was acquired by UiPath, and in 2021 we celebrated VOCHI being acquired by Pinterest. We are also proud of our steadily growing startups with MRR above 100K such as EstateGuru, CallPage, Ondato, Ziticity, Fractory, and Katana.

Survival rate above 80%

In a high-risk investment market, we are happy to see way more than half of our accelerated companies still actively running a business and growing. 7+ out of 10 accelerated startups raise a seed round above 100K within 6 months of graduation.

Seed round above 100k in 6 months

Although funding should not be a goal in itself, for many early-stage startups raising the first seed round fast and on the right conditions makes a huge difference both in terms of survival and growth. Couching during accelerator and exposure to a wide network of investors allows our startups to raise money more successfully and faster than their peers.
