Portfolio highlights

  • STRGY AI — The strategy was never the problem. The evidence was correct, sitting in someone's hands, and it died anyway because nothing in the organization was built to carry that evidence from where it was seen to where it could be acted on, and keep it alive long enough to matter. Not a bad plan. Not bad people. A structural gap between signal andauthority that every existing tool — decks, dashboards, status meetings — is too static and too easy to ignore to actually close.STRGY exists because that gap is the default state of every organization above a certain size, and closing it has always required either a heroic individual repeating themselves for years or luck (the corporate pilot needed one person to remember "do not drop this" at the right moment, and no one did). That's not a strategy problem to solve with a better framework — it's an infrastructure problem. You need something that holds the signal, doesn't forget it, doesn't get bored repeating it, and resurfaces it automatically the moment the gap between evidence and action starts to widen. That's what a human can't do reliably at scale, and what software with real memory can.
  • Coolbrook — Our RotoDynamic electric technology can cut 30% of industrial emissions annually, delivering hope at industrial scale.
  • Solar Foods — Solar Foods is a food-tech startup that specializes in testing a technology that uses electricity to produce hydrogen which is combined with carbon dioxide, water, vitamins, and minerals to feed and grow microbial biomass that can be used as edible protein. The industrial biotech startup develops a protein called Solein, a nutritious, sustainablesubstitute for animal-derived proteins. Solein is created using elements from the air—CO2, water, nitrogen—and electricity. This single-cell protein is cultivated through gas fermentation, essentially deriving edible calories from hydrogen-oxidizing microbes.

Springvest
VC Fund · Helsinki, Southern Finland, Finland · 1 investments in Finland Life Science startups

The Citizenship Fund started out when the founders of the company discovered in their previous positions that a promising Finnish growth company will spend a great deal of time and energy in arranging financing. A good business idea and a team with excellent team could take months in financial negotiations and the outcome could be a return to thestart-up. At the same time, investors often wanted new types of higher potential investments alongside traditional alternatives.These two challenges were possible by removing the promising growth companies as investors, even for non-traditional venture capital investors. Citizenship wanted to create a service in which the company would be able to capitalize on business quickly and flexibly, but the decision-making business would be left to the company itself. From today's point of view, Springvest's goal is that an increasing number of Finnish investors can get involved in the story of Finnish growth companies and potential success.
