Private placements for institutional investors
Finland’s growth-stage ecosystem ranks among Europe’s most dynamic.
Springvest opens it to institutional investors worldwide through structured private placement rounds in the tech companies that matter.
Co-invest in Finnish tech companies
Finland is a European technology leader with strong digital expertise, high R&D intensity and well-established deep tech, dual-use, defence and space sectors.
Springvest gives international investors, and institutional and professional investors in Finland, direct access to deal flow and private placement rounds in promising Finnish technology companies across Series A, Series B and pre-IPO rounds.
We work with VCs, CVCs, pension funds, and other professional and institutional investors primarily across the Nordics and Europe.
Institutional access, clear terms
For selected Finnish growth-stage tech companies, Springvest arranges a private placement after the public share issue which is open to Springvest’s community of 15,000+ Finnish retail investors on the platform.
Our private placement is a separate, structured and directed share issue for professional and institutional investors.
Terms are negotiated directly with Springvest as round arranger, giving investors a clear, efficient path into each round.

Why Finnish tech
Finland is a technology powerhouse, with leading digital expertise, strong R&D investment relative to GDP, and established deep tech, dual-use, defence, and space sectors. Venture investment more than doubled year-on-year in 2025.
Finnish growth companies typically reach a more advanced, capital-efficient stage before seeking outside funding, and with less competing capital than major European hubs, valuations stay more moderate, meaning lower early-stage risk and more competitive entry points for international investors.
Public co-financing from Business Finland, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and EU programmes further bolsters companies’ capital structure between rounds, reducing burn rate and making each funding round more capital-efficient.
Why private placement
Compared to investing independently or through a fund, here’s what a private placement model offers.
Investing directly
Full control, but building your own deal pipeline in Finland takes time, resources and local knowledge you may not yet have.
Through a Nordic VC fund
Broad exposure to Nordic growth companies, but the fund manager makes the decision over the selection on your behalf.
Private placement, Springvest model
Each company is presented individually with terms negotiated and the decision being yours, though exposure builds deal by deal, not instant diversification.
What you get from Springvest
Springvest brings the deal to you, curated, structured and anchored.
Terms set, deal arranged, you decide
Springvest brings the deal to you: curated and fully arranged. Due diligence is complete and terms are set. The decision is yours.
Behind every deal is a team with hands-on experience across hundreds of Finnish funding rounds in total.
Finnish anchor capital supporting the round
Our private placements are anchored with €5–12 million from over 15,000 Finnish private investors and family offices.
Many rounds also include leading Finnish institutional investors.
Skin in the game
Springvest becomes a minority shareholder in every company after the round closes.
We don’t just arrange the deal and step away. Instead, we remain alongside you from close to exit, with a shared interest in each company’s long-term success.

Case ReOrbit: €45M Series A for a new space company
In 2025, ReOrbit raised a €45 million Series A to scale its software-first satellite technology for secure government and commercial communications.
The round combined a public share offering of €8 million with a private placement for professional and institutional investors, bringing the total to €45 million.
It was among the most significant funding rounds in Europe for a new space company that year.
