Karista

Karista is an early-growth investment firm backing ambitious entrepreneurs across Europe. For nearly 25 years, we have supported over 100 startups and scale-ups, many of which have achieved successful exits through acquisitions or listings on major exchanges, including Nasdaq. Our current strategy focuses on two key sectors: HealthTech and Space, Defence & Security, executed through dedicated funds and specialized teams with deep domain expertise. We primarily invest in early-growth opportunities, while selectively supporting early-stage moonshot projects with transformative potential. Trusted by leading institutional investors, financial groups, strategic corporates, and family offices, Karista pairs capital with hands-on support and strategic guidance. We leverage our extensive networks and sector expertise to help founders scale rapidly, execute their global commercial strategy, innovate boldly, and achieve transformative, market-leading success.
