New age investor
We do not believe in passive ownership and quick profits but in active and open collaboration among people.
Momentum
We are looking for interesting growth companies across Finland
In October 2021, with the release of the Momentum strategy, KPY expanded its ownership to minority stakes in growth and value companies. This gives our owners access to attractive investment opportunities that would otherwise not be available.
We have actively invested in the continuous development of our current portfolio companies. After a quieter period, we are now actively seeking companies whose growth we can support and finance as a minority owner in the future.
According to the Momentum strategy, majority owners can continue to be strongly involved in developing their company, with long-term goals set together before the investment is made.
We want to actively participate in the development of our portfolio companies. This means that our expertise is available more broadly within these companies, not just in board work. We do not believe in a race for exits or passive long-term holding; instead, we provide added value that companies need to take their operations to the next level.
What are we seeking?
In the Momentum strategy, we invest in profitable companies that have surpassed the initial stage and have credible growth prospects. These companies share a common value base with us. The competitive edge of potential companies is based on strong expertise and knowledge.
The annual turnover of potential companies ranges from a few million to approximately 50 million euros. In the first phase, we typically seek a 20–30 percent ownership with an investment of around 2–10 million euros. We do not have industry-specific restrictions for companies, but we are looking for companies with strong expertise, credible growth prospects, and potential for value increase.
People
We invest primarily in people: in the community, culture, and your idea. According to what we’ve heard, we too are just ordinary people.
We offer your company our expertise, community support, and networks so that your business can grow.
Let’s start with an open conversation
It’s important to us that we get to know each other. To begin our discussion, we don’t need a fully developed business plan or an extensively detailed roadmap of where your company aims to base the success in the coming years. Genuine thoughts and the desire to take profitable business to the next level are sufficient.
With us, you can discuss even preliminary ideas without any commitments and in confidence.
