Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Siena Capital?
The General Partners — Rain Tamm, Rando Rannus, and Lauri Isotamm — share investment responsibilities. The three have worked together for over 25 years across corporate finance, tech-enabled investments, and startup exits. The firm does not publicly designate a single Chief Investment Officer.
How does Siena Capital source secondary deal flow?
Siena sources transactions directly from founders and early employees of late-stage European startups. The firm relies on its team's personal networks built over decades in the regional tech ecosystem and its public positioning as the first Baltic-dedicated VC secondary fund to generate inbound liquidity requests.
What investment stages and geographies does Siena Capital target?
Siena targets growth-stage and pre-IPO technology companies primarily across Northern and Eastern Europe. Confirmed portfolio companies include Bolt, Veriff, Starship Technologies, and Oura — all businesses that raised significant primary venture funding before Siena purchased secondary shares.
Does Siena Capital participate in primary venture rounds or fund commitments?
Siena's stated strategy is focused on direct secondary transactions — purchasing existing shares from individual stakeholders in venture-backed companies. The firm does not list primary venture round investments or commitments to third-party venture capital funds as part of its disclosed activities.
What is Siena Capital's posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Siena has not publicly described a formal co-investment program alongside external general partners. Its model as a direct secondary buyer dealing with individual shareholders naturally positions most transactions as bilateral, though the firm may occasionally transact where other secondary buyers are present.
