Norrsken Evolve has hired a venture partner and an associate to lead its expansion into Estonia.

The venture fund will open an office in Kasvuhoone, a planned tech hub in the capital Tallinn, financed by Skype alumni Taavet Hinrikus and Sten Tamkivi.

“Estonia is an ideal place to find, fund, and grow resiliency-focused startups,” Rebecka Löthman Rydå, general partner Norrsken Evolve, tells Impact Loop.

Last year, Norrsken Accelerator, part of the Norrsken Foundation, rebranded as Norrsken Evolve and launched a €57m fund focused on European “resilience”.
