Panostaja as an investment target and owner

Panostaja is an investment company developing companies in the service and software sectors as an active shareholder. Panostaja provides investors with a unique channel for investing in Finnish growth companies with high expected yields through a balanced diversified portfolio. The company aims to be the most sought-after partner for business owners selling their companies as well as for the best managers and investors. Together with its partners, Panostaja strives to increase shareholder value and create Finnish success stories.

Panostaja’s active ownership model is divided into four areas: the acquisition process, takeover process, development phase and divestment. Panostaja partners with SMEs for a specific period of time, which can be three or ten years, for example, or until the planned goals have been achieved.

Panostaja’s strategy involves three main goals:

• securing the top expertise in the capital investment field and building an adviser network for the selected service and software sectors in Finland,
• creating a balanced investment portfolio whose total value creation is also supported by the competence synergies between the segments, and
• cementing responsibility as a key element in value creation and investment activities.

Potential investment targets that match Panostaja’s investment criteria are Finnish service and software companies with net sales in the range of MEUR 5–50. The investment targets boast significant growth potential, a positive cash flow forecast, competent management and a responsible business model. To realize the value creation potential, we choose the moment of divestment independently with our owner partners.
