13 Apr Top Finnish Startups and Scaleups

PropTech companies have had some significant success in recent years. But, especially if you look at the real estate landscape in Finland, you will see that the top PropTech companies could generate more funding.

Historically, Finnish PropTech companies have struggled to find long-term investors, so they are forced to seek help from international investors. These investors understand the value of technological solutions in the real estate business. So much so that in 2020, Kodit.io, a PropTech company, secured a record funding worth more than €100 million. But unfortunately, this is the only example of a PropTech acquiring huge funding. Other than that, no other company has received such funding so far.

Generally, it is much easier for smaller companies to acquire business funding in Finland. That’s why the average funding for PropTech companies is around €40 million. These investments are A-round and smaller seed investments.

The smaller PropTech companies in Finland are doing reasonably well. Many scaleups and new startups have burst onto the scene in recent times. In this post, we will look at 15 of the most successful startups and scaleups in 2021.
