Marija Ručevska
In 2010, Marija Ručevska discovered her passion for entrepreneurship through the JA Student Company Programme in Latvia. Fifteen years later, she is one of the youngest female General Partners in Europe — managing a €21M venture capital fund and building the infrastructure for the next generation of Baltic and Nordic founders.
Outlast Fund backs pre-seed and seed-stage technology companies across the Baltics and Nordics, with a portfolio of 11 investments growing at an average of 19.27% net revenue MoM. Beyond capital, Marija co-founded Shipyard, a hacker-space in Riga for AI-native first-time founders — compressing the path from idea to VC-backed venture. From co-founding TechChill to building and exiting Helve to launching Outlast, Marija has spent her entire career doing one thing: making sure the next generation of European founders has what it needs to build.
