VC Crawl

Welcome to AaltoPEC’s VC Crawl, an evening designed for students interested in exploring the venture capital landscape in Finland firsthand. During the crawl, you’ll visit local VC funds, gain insights into their investment strategies, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how they operate within the startup ecosystem.

Throughout the evening, participants will move between the funds together as one group. Each stop includes a one-hour session featuring presentations on the fund’s thesis, structure, focus areas and positioning in the startup ecosystem, as well as opportunities to ask questions and engage directly with investors.

We’ll be visiting Failup Ventures, Icebreaker, and Gorilla Capital which are three active players in the Finnish VC scene. The evening kicks off with a session at Icebreaker, followed by a visit to Failup Ventures and concludes at Gorilla Capital.
