Notable Investments
Lifeline Ventures is led by serial entrepreneurs who built and exited major tech companies before becoming investors, and runs one of Europe's largest early-stage-only funds at €400m designed to back founders from day zero through to global scale rather than handing them off at later rounds. The fund has backed every major Finnish unicorn including Supercell, Wolt, and Oura at true pre-seed stage, and operates formal Entrepreneur in Residence and Next-Gen Investor programs inside the firm to lower entry barriers for young talent into both entrepreneurship and venture capital.
