Private placements for international institutions
Finland has one of Europe’s most active growth-stage technology ecosystems. Springvest gives international VCs, CVCs, pension funds, professional investors, family offices, and other institutional investors direct access to its most promising Finnish growth companies through structured private placement rounds.
Co-invest in world-class Finnish tech
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 direct access to deal flow and private placement opportunities in promising Finnish technology companies across Series A, Series B and pre-IPO rounds.
Institutional access, clear terms
For selected portfolio companies, Springvest arranges a private placement alongside the public share issue which is open to Springvest’s community of 15,000+ Finnish retail investors.
The private placement is a structured directed share issue for professional and institutional investors.
Terms are negotiated directly with Springvest as round arranger. Springvest does not sell its own shares in a private placement.
For private placements, we primarily work with investors across the Nordics and Europe.

Why Finnish tech
Finland is a technology powerhouse. The country boasts leading digital expertise in Europe, strong R&D investment intensity relative to GDP, and well-established deep tech, dual-use, defence and space technology sectors. Venture investment in Finland more than doubled year-on-year in 2025.
Growth companies in Finland often reach a more advanced stage than their peers elsewhere before seeking outside capital, resulting in more mature technology and more moderate valuations than in major Western European hubs.
This means less 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
Building your own deal pipeline in Finland takes time and local knowledge. You source opportunities, run due diligence, negotiate terms and find co-investors independently.
It gives you full control, but requires significant groundwork in a market you may not yet have established networks in.
Through a Nordic VC fund
Investing through a fund gives you broad exposure to Nordic growth companies with an experienced local manager handling sourcing and portfolio decisions.
Capital is pooled and allocated across multiple companies, with the fund manager making investment decisions on your behalf.
Private placement
Springvest brings the deal to you, curated, structured and anchored. Due diligence is done, terms are set, and €5–12M in Finnish anchor capital already committed. You evaluate one company at a time and decide.
Springvest becomes a minority shareholder in every deal, so our interests are aligned with yours from close to exit.

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.

Who qualifies as a professional investor?

- Your investment portfolio exceeds €500,000
- You work, or have worked, in the financial sector in a role that requires knowledge of investment products.
All investors must be identified and verified, and Springvest must assess whether the investment type is suitable.
