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. ## Kaj Hagros - Type: Angel - Location: Helsinki, Southern Finland, Finland - Relevant deals: 1 - Stages: Seed, Pre-Seed, Angel - Focus: SaaS, Local, Travel Kaj Hagros is Partner at Redstone based in Helsinki and covers the Nordic and Baltic countries.
