Launchpad  

Baltic Ventures supports game-changing founding teams who are building the solutions and businesses of tomorrow.

Many founders are told by investors that their business is ‘too early’. Launchpad 2025 will focus on supporting founding teams to demonstrate commercial traction, by supporting them to establish and execute on an actionable strategy for product development and validation and how to present this in a way that will excite potential investors and customers.
