Cabra VC is a venture capital firm based in Riga, Latvia, that invests in early-stage, post-revenue startups across the United States and India. Maintaining an active presence in major technology hubs like the Bay Area, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, the firm targets companies in the fintech, marketplace, and customer engagement sectors. The investment team focuses on subscription-based businesses that have achieved product-market fit and generate at least $100,000 in monthly recurring revenue. To support this strategy, the firm launched a $32 million fund aimed at sales growth technologies, with plans to back approximately 15 startups at the Series A stage. Cabra VC has backed notable portfolio companies such as Zaraz, which was subsequently acquired by internet infrastructure provider Cloudflare in December 2021.
