ABOUT US

We are Helsinki based angel investors with a passion for new ideas and a track record of building successful businesses.

We support extraordinary founders who have a passion for their business and the right combination of skills –
or ‘Edge’ – to deliver their vision.

We know how hard the journey can be and work closely with founders to maximize their success – from product validation to growth, and the creation of valuable companies.

OUR FOCUS

Role: We often take the lead in larger rounds, and co-invest with seed funds and other angel investors.

Sector: We focus on startups with a B2B SaaS component, but also invest outside of this area.

Geography: Finland mainly, but also the Baltics and other Nordic countries.

Ambition: We look for founders with a clear vision to create 10x value for their customers compared to the alternatives.
