About Lauri Kokkila

Lauri Kokkila joined Inventure as an intern in 2015 and became a partner before turning 30, then later stepped away from investing to work full-time inside portfolio company Material Exchange, taking on everything from sales and hiring to opening its Stockholm office. He looks for businesses with hidden technical or regulatory advantages and legacy industries ripe for software and AI, and he's known for pushing conviction on deals like Swappie even when other VCs disagreed, while also making time to teach startup students at Aalto and encouraging founders to build relationships with investors well before they need funding.

Inventure is a Nordic/Baltic-focused venture fund known for its early conviction in Wolt, splitting its €400k pre-seed round and leading its second seed round, and for backing operational infrastructure like Jobbatical to modernize legacy, admin-heavy markets through automation. The firm operationalizes founder support through structured programs like onboarding workshops, small theme-based sessions, and cross-portfolio Slack communities, while its partners bring deep operator experience—from Timo Tirkkonen's technical, science-heavy company coaching since founding his first investment firm in the 1990s, to Ryan Savage's talent and sales expertise drawn from roles at Wolt and Yousician.
