Second health-focused fund launched in Finland in 2022

Finnish venture capital firm Courage Ventures is introducing a new fund focusing on early-stage digital health startups in the Nordics and Baltics. The new fund is already the second health-focused fund launched in Finland in 2022.

“Digital health will transform the healthcare landscape, and Finland along with the other Nordics are well positioned to capitalise on this opportunity through the region’s advanced digital health ecosystem and partnerships,” says Courage Ventures on LinkedIn.

Courage Ventures has “an established record of taking Nordic companies to the US, the world’s most attractive growth and exit market in healthcare”, the company says on their website.

The Nordics and Baltics are the region with the most sophisticated digital health ecosystem driving the next wave of innovations.

Earlier this year, Finnish VC company Innovestor launched their new Life Science & Health Fund, focusing on science-based early-stage opportunities in the Nordic and Baltic countries.

The new funds are the first health-focused funds in Finland in over 10 years.
