Petri Lehmuskoski co-founded Gorilla Capital around a disciplined "camel startup" philosophy that prioritizes capital-efficient, resilient companies focused on profitability and strong customer retention rather than hyper-growth at all costs. He combines his role as Managing Partner at Gorilla Capital with active membership as a founding member of the Finnish Business Angels Network, bringing an angel-style, hands-on approach to structured fund investing.

Notable Investments
Gorilla Capital positions itself as the Nordic institutional super angel, combining the speed of an angel investor with the structure and scale of an institutional VC while making around 30 investments per year at pre-seed and seed stages with €50k-€1M tickets. The fund deliberately backs capital-efficient, resilient tech startups they call camels instead of chasing unicorns, focusing on companies in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Estonia that solve real business problems with realistic paths to sustainable growth and early exits.
