3. VC & PE market
• Fund-raising as well as investment and exit volumes have
continued at a good level in Finland and internationally. In
the current environment of low interest rates, capital seeks
asset categories with higher risk and yield expectations,
such as venture capital and private equity.
• In 2016 Finnish companies raised a record-setting 17
venture capital rounds of over 5 million euros, compared to
just 5-10 rounds each year during 2012–2015. Finnish start-
ups received the most venture capital in Europe (per GDP).
• In later-stage growth funds exit activity in particular has
remained active.
