Cobalt has advised SmartCap on its investment in Tartu-based start-up eAgronom in a EUR 5 million financing round joined by Icos Capital and Soulmates Ventures.

eAgronom is a start-up that helps farmers to adopt more sustainable farming methods with digital tools and technology-based strategies.

SmartCap is a small fund manager that provides investments for private fund managers.

According to Cobalt, “the company raised EUR 5 million from investors. In addition to SmartCap, the Dutch climate technology venture capital fund Icos Capital and Czech venture capital investor Soulmates Ventures participated in the financing round. With the money raised from investors, eAgronom plans to continue expanding to European and African markets.”

Back in 2021, Cobalt also advised SmartCap on the launch of its green technology investment program (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on November 21, 2021).

The Cobalt team included Partner Kristel Raidla-Talur, Specialist Counsel Greete-Kristiine Kuru, Associate Johanna Lumiste, and Assistant Lawyer Marit Raatma.

Cobalt did not respond to our inquiry on the matter.
