Maria 01 is where startups, investors, ecosystem builders, and corporates work together investing in brave ideas, and benefit from the community’s unexpected opportunities. Now for the first time, we are together with the community launching a unique initiative – by the community for the community. Let us introduce to you the Maria 01 Investor Collective.

Launching the Maria 01 Investor Collective: an Initiative for the Community by the Community

We love co-locating our investors to walk amongst our founders

Since the start, Maria 01 has been a unique startup community. By bringing more than +150 startups, +10 VCs together, and +20 partners under one roof. It has not only strengthened the ecosystem for the last years, it has also given a new dimension to startup hubs. 

Our campus hosts the vast majority of all Finnish venture capital funds. The investors focus on various scopes, from deep-tech to gaming, investing in stages from pre-seed up to A and B rounds. Furthermore, we work closely with some of the leading foreign venture capital funds and investor networks in Europe. Check out our Investor Network on the campus here

As a vibrant community, creating valuable encounters, there is always room for community engagement and creating valuable encounters and opportunities. With the help of our in-house investors, we have together initiated the Maria 01 Investor Collective.
