Overview

Work Experience

  • Founding Partner

    2023 - Current

    The Nordic industrial superangel. We back camels – the ambitious yet resilient startups. We provide an alternative path to build a startup. We offer financing and professional support to ambitious and realistic founders who favour a rational approach to risk, rather than counting on being the next unicorn. Our investment strategy is based on what is likely to happen, rather than what could happen. By investing in a high number of companies, we de facto invest in startups as an asset class. We strive for market returns with lower risk and have a solid track record in execution. http://www.gorillacapital.fi
