Founding Partner, HealthFounders

Erki has been active in the healthcare and life sciences sector for over two decades, beginning in 1999 when he became CEO of Quattromed. Over the next 14 years, he led the company’s transformation from a University of Tartu spin-off into the largest regional laboratory, operating across three countries with a team of over 200 employees. In 2013, Quattromed was acquired by Synlab.

Since 2013, Erki has been actively investing in early-stage healthtech companies, leveraging his deep industry expertise. In addition to Quattromed, he has successfully led investments resulting in two additional exits in the healthtech space. He is also the Founder of the Health Economy Association (2019) and Health Founders (2020)—the first business accelerator in the region focused on healthtech innovation.

In 2019, Erki joined Verge HealthTech Fund as a Venture Partner for Europe, and in 2022, he became a Managing Partner, driving investments in groundbreaking healthcare technologies globally.
