Nordea Startup & Growth is an active player in the startup ecosystem in Finland having today over 2500 startups and scaleups as their customers and an extensive network of global, European, and Nordic investors in their scope.
“In 2020, we wanted to help more extensively the matchmaking between investors and startups and scaleups. As the world switched to remote due to Covid-19 we made Investor speed date events online. This turned out to be a real success and enabled us to share the deal flow also with our global and European investors.”, says Vesa Riihimäki, Head of Startups and Growth at Nordea.
The concept is built so that Nordea Startup & Growth handpicks the companies for each event. Attending investors will receive information on companies beforehand to decide who they want to meet in one-to-one discussions. Time-efficiency is granted as there is a chance to meet many companies during the event and have a short meeting to see whether there is a potential for cooperation.
