About Us
Coinvest Capital was founded in 2018, aiming to strengthen the Lithuanian business angel ecosystem by providing a generous profit-sharing scheme for accredited private investors, and to improve access to risk capital for the early-stage startup companies.
Coinvest Capital stands out as a unique sovereign VC fund, fully funded by the Lithuanian state and the EU. It is a 100% subsidiary of the national development agency INVEGA, which is, in turn, owned by the Ministry of Finance. Government ownership ensures the Fund's stability and reliability, acting as a shareholder on behalf of the Republic of Lithuania.
The Fund's executive management team was fully renewed in 2022 and continues managing the existing portfolio and making new investments according to the renewed investment strategy and focus.
We apply the best venture capital industry practices when making investment decisions and cooperate with our accredited lead private co-investors, who, in the majority of the cases, are granted our voting rights and contribute to the portfolio monitoring process by representing investors on the board.
We are committed to strengthening the Lithuanian startup ecosystem, sharing our expertise and insight at numerous industry events and conferences in Lithuania and abroad, mentoring startups of various accelerators, and joining juries during hackathons and pitch competitions.
Our Managing Director, Viktorija Trimbel, serves on the board of the Lithuanian Business Angels Association and we are humbled and proud to have been awarded the Best VC Partner of LitBAN during its first five years of operations.
Coinvest Capital is the brand name of the Fund. Its ownership & governance structure is presented below.
