About Gerri Kodres

Gerri Kodres is the Founding Partner of Specialist VC, an early-stage venture capital firm in Tallinn, where he leverages 20 years of tech executive experience, including as Chief Business Officer at mobile payments leader Fortumo. His investment thesis targets pre-seed to A-round startups in B2B, SaaS, fintech, marketplaces, software-enabled hardware, Web3, and deep tech across Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Ukraine, and Belarus. Specialist VC typically deploys initial ticket sizes between €250,000 and €3 million from its €50 million second fund, with Kodres often acting as an early investor rather than strictly defining lead/follow roles publicly. Notable portfolio companies he has backed include Bolt, Veriff, Monese, Starship, and Comodule, with some sources also citing NFTPort. Kodres was voted the #1 startup investor in the Baltics by Estonian tech founders in January 2020 and earned “The Investor of the Year” title in 2019, while publicly noting that science-based startups could represent the next major investment wave. He has invested in over 40 startups over the past decade and serves as an Associate mentor at Creative Destruction
