From health monitoring rings worn by Prince Harry, to quantum computing breakthroughs, Finland has a fast-growing startup ecosystem that’s emerged in the past ten years.
The country’s also proven its ability to scale up tech businesses. On our list of the fastest growing scaleups of 2020, four out of the top ten were Finnish startups.
But which startups are VCs watching today? We asked four investors based in Finland to recommend the companies they’re interested in and excited about.
Their recommendations are diverse: from a needle-free healthtech tool, to textiles made from recycled leather, and from an AI writing tool to a new way to treat wrinkles.
We just had one rule: to keep things interesting, the investors couldn’t recommend companies in their own portfolios.
