Timo Tirkkonen brings a physics background to his investing, which shows up in his focus on technically demanding, science-heavy companies like semiconductor and autonomous driving businesses, and in his comfort discussing engineering details such as graphics pipelines, simulation environments, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. He also takes an unusually hands-on chairman role—holding frequent calls with founders, staying with companies from the Series A through to exit, and describing his job as representing all shareholders, including option holders, rather than acting as a distant board member.

Notable Investments
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.
