Overview

Iron Wolf Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm based in Vilnius, Lithuania, with additional presence in London and other European cities. It focuses on DeepTech and artificial intelligence startups across the Baltics and the broader Baltic diaspora, typically investing at the seed stage. The firm is known for leading or co‑leading rounds, maintaining a selective portfolio, and backing companies in areas such as AI, robotics, biotech, energy, spacetech, and related deep‑technology fields.

Iron Wolf Capital positions itself as one of the more active early‑stage investors in the Baltic region, having raised a €100 million second fund that targets roughly 25 startups. It emphasizes experienced founders, global ambitions, and strong technical or scientific foundations, and it supports portfolio companies with capital, mentoring, and access to international networks.

History

Iron Wolf Capital was founded in 2017 (or 2018, depending on source) by Kasparas Jurgelionis and other partners, emerging from backgrounds in corporate strategy, consulting, and large‑scale portfolio management. The firm launched its first early‑stage venture fund focused on DeepTech and AI in the Baltics, gradually building a portfolio of more than 20 startups by the mid‑2020s. In 2025 it announced a second, €100 million seed‑stage fund, described as one of the largest of its kind in the region, with commitments from family offices, institutional investors, and repeat backers. The firm has maintained a low‑volume, high‑bar approach, typically backing only a handful of companies per year while expanding its geographic and thematic scope.

Reputation

Iron Wolf Capital is generally regarded as a serious, technically oriented early‑stage investor in the Baltic ecosystem, valued for its focus on DeepTech and AI and its hands‑on support for founders. Professionals appreciate its regional specialization, experienced team, and access to international networks, which help portfolio companies scale beyond local markets. Some observers note that its selective, low‑volume approach can make it harder for early‑stage teams to secure funding, and its relatively young track record means long‑term performance data is still emerging.
