Startup Lions is here to support you.
We saw that in Finland there are no financiers for startups until the company has already overcome the biggest risks. The initial phase of a new company is very challenging and often, in addition to financing, qualified and expert consulting in different areas of the business is needed.
Start Up Lions Oy is a company owned by experienced Finnish family offices, business managers and investors.
We are a strategic partner, coach, and financial expert for start-ups.
We help companies find private investment capital and advise on accelerating growth.
We look for the necessary expertise to support entrepreneurs and we spar the company on the path to success.
