In the first half of 2023, Finnish private equity investors have actively continued to invest in growth-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) despite a challenging market environment. According to a recent barometer survey, investors specializing in buyout and growth investments view the current market as difficult, but signs of improvement are on the horizon.
Finnish Private Equity and Venture Capital Investors (PE investors) have named 44 startups and growth companies from their portfolios, which can potentially be listed in the next five years. The list includes established, large companies as well as newer technology companies.
PE investors are involved in developing a company in all its stages of growth – funding and growth partners can be found for both early-stage seed companies and more established companies with a revenue of more than one hundred million.
