Investment thesis
Nostetta aims to complement financial markets by filling the capital gap faced by newly founded and young companies. Using its networks, it builds co-investment models (syndicates) to form the capital investments for target companies, while its team expertise and strong partners ensure both financial and business development of portfolio companies and thereby effective value growth. It targets early-stage companies with strong growth potential and genuine ambition for international markets, making equity investments. A particular goal is enabling internationally scalable growth companies to emerge in Eastern Finland and generating positive momentum for the region's business life.
