INVESTOR / DATA TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2026
FIRSTPICK
11 venture rounds in the first 9 months of 2026, at 11 companies in 3 countries.
FIRSTPICK is an investor headquartered in Lithuania.
The scope is Central and Eastern Europe: every venture round since January 2024 at startups from the ten CEE countries our funding reports cover, in which public sources name FIRSTPICK as an investor. Rounds we have seen outside CEE are listed separately, under the table. It is built from the same record as our quarterly funding reports, and updated with them.

Exits
Companies FIRSTPICK backed that were sold or listed, or where a new investor bought out the earlier ones. Each links to its announcement.
No exits on record.
How this list is made
- A round is listed when a company, investor or press announcement, or a startup database, names FIRSTPICK among its investors. Each listed round links to its announcement where one is on record.
- Amounts are the size of the whole round, not the part FIRSTPICK invested. Amounts are in euros, converted at about 1.10 US dollars to the euro.
- Stages follow the funding reports: the label the company announced, placed by size where the label clearly does not fit.
- Rounds that were never announced, or that do not name their investors, are not here, so the list is a floor.
The whole market: CEE startup funding report. Next update: January 2027.
