Investment with a twist

Everybody is speaking about smart money. And some smart entrepreneurs might even be smart enough to request it. Tikura Ventures is just that. We are especially interested in investing to business areas we are most familiar with and can thus provide valuable knowledge and guidance to the entrepreneurs. In addition to financing we offer support especially for the company's governance, finance, and go-to-market functions.

Although geographically our main focus is in Finland and the Nordics, we are still ready to invest to any company anywhere. Our location in the South-Eastern Finland allows us to tap into the pool of innovative educated experts establishing their companies in the European Union. 

Funding Partner

Tikura Ventures is doing active co-operation with European Investment Fund (EIF), which belongs to European Investment Bank (EIB). The European Angels Fund (EAF) initiative is advised by EIF which provides equity to Business Angels and other non-institutional investors for the financing of innovative companies in the form of co-investments. EAF works hand in hand with Business Angels and helps them to increase their investment capacity by co-investing into innovative companies in the seed, early or growth stage.
