Tatiana Shalalvand is set to join Cherry Ventures as a partner next month, bringing her focus to backing emerging founders from prominent Nordic AI startups such as Lovable and Legora. With a background in venture capital and experience supporting early-stage companies, Shalalvand aims to contribute to the growth of innovative AI ventures in Europe's rapidly evolving tech landscape. Her appointment reflects Cherry Ventures' continued interest in high-potential markets, particularly within the Nordics, where several AI firms have gained international recognition.

During her career, Shalalvand has been involved in various investments across software and deep tech sectors. She previously worked at firms including Atomico and Northzone, where she supported companies like Klarna and Tier. Her expertise spans both venture creation and fund investing, making her a valuable addition to Cherry Ventures' expanding team.

Shalalvand's move comes at a time when European AI startups are attracting significant attention and funding. Her role at Cherry Ventures will likely involve identifying and nurturing the next generation of AI leaders, especially those emerging from the Nordics. The firm has been active in backing companies such as Spotify and UiPath, and with Shalalvand on board, it looks poised to double down on AI innovation.

Her official start date is next month, marking another strategic hire for Cherry Ventures as it expands its presence across key European tech hubs including Berlin, Stockholm, and London.
