Disclosed round sizes in Eastern Finland show one clear outlier: FinVector’s $48M (2023-06-07) is the only figure near the top end, while the next-largest disclosed amounts are $20M for Feel and Play (2023-11-22) and $9M for Aurealis Therapeutics (2024-11-13). Most other disclosed rounds cluster far lower, including multiple $2M–$4M Seed rounds such as Marginum ($3M on 2025-08-22), Capalo AI ($4M on 2025-03-19), and Carbonaide ($2M on 2023-03-28). The 11 rows also cluster geographically: Kuopio appears repeatedly (Marginum 2025-08-22, Aurealis Therapeutics 2024-11-13, Chipmetrics 2024-01-24, FinVector 2023-06-07, Adamant Health 2022-06-13), alongside Joensuu (Chipmetrics 2024-01-24, Carbonaide 2023-03-28, SeeTrue Technologies 2022-09-22) and Mikkeli (Norolan Artisanlures 2025-02-17, Feel and Play 2023-11-22). Temporally, the range spans 2021-07-02 (Redkik, grant, $200K) through 2025-08-22 (Marginum), with several deals appearing within 2023–2024 (e.g., FinVector 2023-06-07, Aurealis Therapeutics 2024-11-13). Stage labels are often not specified: 5 of 11 entries list “Series Unknown” (Aurealis Therapeutics, FinVector, Norolan Artisanlures, and two others), compared with multiple Seed rounds and one Grant.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round here, and is it meaningfully larger than the rest?
FinVector’s $48M on 2023-06-07 is the standout: it sits well above the next-largest disclosed amounts of $20M (Feel and Play, 2023-11-22) and $9M (Aurealis Therapeutics, 2024-11-13). Several other disclosed rounds are clustered in the low single-digit millions, such as Marginum $3M (2025-08-22) and Capalo AI $4M (2025-03-19).
Do the most recent rounds concentrate in a short window, or are they spread out?
The list runs from 2021-07-02 (Redkik, $200K) to 2025-08-22 (Marginum, $3M). In the most recent stretch, 3 of the 11 rows close between 2025-02-17 (Norolan Artisanlures) and 2025-08-22 (Marginum), including Seed rounds like Capalo AI on 2025-03-19 ($4M) and Marginum on 2025-08-22 ($3M).
Are any locations over-represented among these 11 funded companies?
Kuopio is the most recurrent city, appearing across multiple entries including Marginum (2025-08-22), Aurealis Therapeutics (2024-11-13), FinVector (2023-06-07), and Adamant Health (2022-06-13). Joensuu and Mikkeli also recur, but the repeated cluster around Kuopio is more evident in the specific dates and amounts shown.
Which stage labels dominate the disclosures, and how often is the stage unspecified?
Seed is the most visible labeled stage among the rows, with examples like Marginum ($3M, 2025-08-22) and Carbonaide ($2M, 2023-03-28). “Series Unknown” appears in 5 of 11 entries (including Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13 and FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07), which is a substantial share of the dataset.
Which sectors show up repeatedly, and do they align with the biggest rounds?
Biotechnology appears in 2 entries here (Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13 and FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07), while Health Care appears in 2 entries (Marginum $3M on 2025-08-22 and Adamant Health $2M on 2022-06-13). The biggest disclosed amount is in Biotechnology (FinVector $48M), but other large rounds are in different categories such as Education (Feel and Play $20K on 2023-11-22).
Is there a low-end outlier worth noting alongside the high-end outlier?
Yes. Feel and Play’s $20K on 2023-11-22 is the smallest disclosed amount in the rows, far below other low single-digit millions like Chipmetrics $3M (2024-01-24) and Carbonaide $2M (2023-03-28). That places the smallest figure and the largest figure (FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07) at opposite ends of the disclosed range.
