Voland Partners Oy's first fund, Voland Technology Growth Fund I, turned one year old on October 1st. By way of celebration, it is a pleasure to stop and reminisce about Voland's early days, whose roots date back a few years.
Voland Partners, which invests in technology growth companies, was interested in a company offering corporate financial management services, which is rare in Finland.
It is said that expert organisations in Finland are "overmanaged but underled". We know how to manage with engineering-like precision, but when it comes to managing people, we scrabble around. However, in growth companies, inspiring people to grow and implement a shared vision is a key cornerstone of success.
Income financing, public financing, debt or venture capital? There are many options for the growth of a technology company. All of them have both advantages and disadvantages. This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of the different financial elements.
20 years ago, the United Nations and the World Bank's financial institution IFC (International Finance Corporation) published systematic guidance on ESG matters. Veera writes about the topic from Voland's point of view.
Seppo Kuula has been appointed Chairman of the Board of Cloud1, a Finnish company specializing in data and cloud solutions.
According to the Diversity Review recently published by TESI (Finnish Industry Investment), a fifth of the venture capital team in Finland today are women. The trend is much better: the number of women in the sector has doubled in recent years and even the number of young people has grown steadily.
The most straightforward indicator of a company’s success is the value it generates to its shareholders. The value of an unlisted company is always uncertain until selling: according to the laws of the market economy, the true value of a company is the ultimate exit value.
We are happy to announce, that Sofia Kirjonen and Max Lehojärvi have started as Associates at Voland Partners.
Voland Partners will accelerate the growth of Cloud1, a cloud consulting company offering data-driven business development solutions.
