About EstVCA
The Estonian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EstVCA) is the voice of private equity and venture capital in Estonia. Since 2009, we have been building bridges between investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. Our focus is on strengthening the local ecosystem, expanding international connections, and providing knowledge, research, and training for our members and partners.
Today, EstVCA unites the most influential firms and decision-makers in the market. Our members include leading private equity and venture capital funds, mezzanine and real estate investors, family offices, institutional investors, and advisors who help shape the future of finance and entrepreneurship.
Our strategic focus
We represent the long-term interests of our members through three key priorities:
1. Bringing more capital to Estonia
We work to ensure the best possible access to capital for our members and to attract more LP investments into Estonia. Together with government partners and allied organizations, we promote Estonia as a prime investment destination, recognized for its talent, expertise, favorable business conditions, specialization, and strong exit stories. Our goal is for Estonia to be a natural part of the Nordic and Baltic capital markets.
2. Future-proofing the business environment
We support initiatives that enhance Estonia’s business competitiveness. This includes policy analysis, advocacy, and proposals on issues that directly affect our members, from fund regulation and investment conditions to innovation and economic growth. We also contribute to making the Estonian economy resilient to external shocks and support stronger R&D investment and collaboration.
3. Advancing knowledge and education
We are committed to educating our members and making private equity and venture capital more understandable to a broader audience. This means increasing public awareness, sharing success stories and lessons learned, building a stronger Estonian terminology base for the field, and bringing international expertise to our community. We also work closely with universities to train future talent for the industry.
