We aspire to cooperate with responsible, growth-oriented and financially sound SMEs in the service and software sectors that we believe can become new success stories in their fields by working with us.
With almost 40 years of experience in Finnish capital investment, we have been involved in accelerating growth and value creation in numerous service and software companies. We provide companies with proven tools that supplement business expertise and strategic management. We also assist the companies in securing financing and implementing corporate acquisitions.

We develop persistent capabilities
Growth always requires reinvention, meaning, in other words, the re-evaluation of competences and capabilities. Our skillset includes working together with the management to forge competences into capabilities that boost the competitive edge. We influence the value chain of competence on a variety of levels. Each company’s Board of Directors brings in added value from different perspectives. The modern Advisory Network provides active support in the development of Panostaja companies. Management teams and supervisors spur each other on and share best practices. The aim is to work together to create persistent capabilities for success.

We build growth-oriented management with you
Solid strategies, too, must be distilled into actual operations through proper management. Since the management of growth is always management of change, we are heavily involved in supporting our investment targets in the management-related development. With the help of various operating models and digital tools, we have been able to achieve concrete and permanent changes with company managements. The development of the annual management index indicates a clear link with profit development. Good management is a competitive advantage.
