Aim — The Baltics Small Equity Fund (BSEF) is a venture capital firm that invests in small and medium size enterprises in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. BSEF invests in growth-oriented companies and trustworthy entrepreneurs (Portfolio Companies), providing them with financial partnership and technical assistance.

More information — BSEF invests by acquiring newly-issued shares from a Portfolio Company, becoming a partner in the business. BSEF does not typically offer loan financing. After investing, BSEF uses its experience and contacts with the goal of helping the business grow and profit. If successful, the shares of all the owners, including BSEF, grow in value. Thus, both BSEF and the entrepreneurs benefit from the participation of BSEF in the business.
