Building the future together

We help new start-ups achieve their goals quickly - by focusing on the right things.

Startup Lions will help your business succeed.

We see that in Finland there are no financiers for a start-up company until it has already overcome the major risks. The start-up phase of a small company is long and very challenging. We also know that start-ups need not only financing but also qualified and expert advice on various aspects of the business. We are an active, participative partner offering a wide range of expertise. We offer you our help in many ways.

Do you need help with early-stage financing and boosting your business?

Productive Idea - Partnership for the competition

We will be a partner in the Productive Idea competition organised by the Finnish Chambers of Commerce in 2023.

The aim of the competition is to promote innovation and highlight new business ideas and their importance as key drivers of social development. The competition also aims to raise the profile and importance of entrepreneurship in Finland.

In previous years, our portfolio companies Dermeco Oy and DiabetesSara Oy have been successful in the competition. Dermeco was selected as the national winner of the Startup Series in 2022 and DiabetesSara as the winner of the Society Series in the Western Finland region in the same year.
