We invest in growing SMEs
We want to help businesses reach their full potential and work with them to build success stories. We are an investment company that owns and develops unique SMEs in the service and software sectors. Investing in growing and unlisted Finnish SMEs is appealing to many, and we can offer a good channel for this through our segments and operating model.
We are actively looking for companies that have the enthusiasm and drive for continuous development and growing their business operations. When a company has the finances and growth potential, Panostaja can help it climb to the top of its field. At Panostaja, the identification of growth potential and the facilitation of growth, as well as ownership, are responsible and long-term efforts toward success. Our basic mission is always to generate value as a responsible owner-partner, accelerating growth and the implementation of changes.
