🎉 We’ve got a new teammate at Practica!

Say hi to Aistė Obolevičiūtė, our new analyst - fresh off earning her degree from Stockholm School of Economics in Riga and already diving into the Baltic startup scene.
She brings experience from both VC and finance, and now joins us in backing exceptional teams, from the first pitch to global scale.

Why Practica?

💬 Aistė Obolevičiūtė:
“I’m here to listen to founders - to support when you’re scaling, to connect, chat, or just go for a walk. If you’re building something that keeps you up at night - AI infra, SaaS, fintech, or anything a little wild - I’d love to meet.
Early is messy. I’m here for it.
I’ll mostly be around Vilnius, Riga, or Tallinn - happy to meet in person. Otherwise, feel free to book a time:”

We’re thrilled to have her on board as we continue leading early-stage investments in the Baltics, from Seed to Series A and beyond.

Join us in welcoming Aistė to the Practica team! 🚀

Big week for our portfolio companies - and a major milestone for climate-positive agriculture in Europe! 🌾

InSoil (formerly HeavyFinance) has entered a €100M+ partnership with Key Carbon to accelerate the transition to regenerative farming across 1 million hectares of European farmland.

Building on the €80M already deployed to 3,000+ farmers, this collaboration gives farmers the tools to lead in a time of urgent environmental change:

🌱 35M+ tonnes of CO₂ sequestration enabled - primed for high-quality carbon credit generation
🌱 Tailored regenerative transitions, guided by expert agronomists and soil scientists
🌱 Certified transparency, aligned with the EU Carbon Removals Certification Framework
🌱 One of the most rigorous MRV systems in the industry for high-integrity, local soil carbon projects

This marks InSoil’s largest raise to date, and one of Europe’s most significant investments in sustainable agriculture.

We’re proud to back visionary teams building climate solutions from the ground up. 👏
