For the first time, Finland is included in Chambers and Partners’ Venture Capital 2026 Global Practice Guide, and Dottir’s Jukka Pello, Viktor Kvist, and Sebastian Vuoritsalo authored both Finland chapters: Trends and Developments, and Law and Practice.
The Trends and Developments chapter examines a Finnish venture market that is no longer merely “emerging” but increasingly mature, technically credible, and internationally relevant. Key themes include the rise of deep tech, the growing role of cross-border capital, renewed focus on later-stage domestic funding, energy transition, resilience-oriented technologies, and well-calibrated investor protections.
The Law and Practice chapter provides a practical overview of the Finnish venture capital landscape, covering fund structures, financing documentation, investor protections, governance, employee incentives, exits, and regulatory considerations.
Jukka, Sebastian and Viktor are all part of Dottir’s multidisciplinary Venture Capital and Growth Companies focus team, which advises founders, growth companies, and investors across the Finnish startup ecosystem and is closely connected to the firm’s strong Corporate and M&A practice.
A big thank you to Chambers and Partners for the opportunity to contribute to the guide.
