The largest disclosed round in Eastern Finland among the 12 most recent entries is Kelluu’s $18M Series A on 2026-04-14, which sits well above the rest: the next-largest disclosed amount is Capalo AI’s $13M on 2026-02-06, while multiple other disclosed rounds fall into the single-digit millions (e.g., Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13; Marginum $3M on 2025-08-22) and several are sub-$1M (e.g., Feel and Play $20K on 2023-11-22).
The geography and timing also cluster. Kuopio and Joensuu account for most locations (e.g., Kuopio appears in Capalo AI 2026-02-06, Marginum 2025-08-22, Aurealis Therapeutics 2024-11-13, FinVector 2023-06-07, Adamant Health 2022-06-13; Joensuu appears in Kelluu 2026-04-14, Chipmetrics 2024-01-24, SeeTrue Technologies 2022-09-22, and Redkik 2021-07-02). Chronologically, rounds span 2021-07-02 through 2026-04-14, with three especially recent entries in 2026 (Kelluu, Capalo AI, plus one additional row in 2026-04 to 2026-02), and a clear mid-period concentration in biotech and health-adjacent categories (e.g., Aurealis Therapeutics and FinVector in biotech; Marginum and Adamant Health in health care).

Frequently asked
Which disclosed round stands out most in Eastern Finland, and how far ahead is it of the next-largest disclosed amount?
Kelluu’s $18M Series A (2026-04-14) is the top disclosed amount in the list; the next-largest disclosed round is Capalo AI’s $13M Series A (2026-02-06). Multiple other disclosed rounds are materially lower, including Aurealis Therapeutics at $9M (2024-11-13) and Marginum at $3M (2025-08-22).
Do specific cities dominate these funded rounds, or is funding spread evenly across Eastern Finland?
The locations skew heavily toward Kuopio and Joensuu. Kuopio is listed for Capalo AI (2026-02-06, $13M), Marginum (2025-08-22, $3M), Aurealis Therapeutics (2024-11-13, $9M), FinVector (2023-06-07, $48M), and Adamant Health (2022-06-13, $2M). Joensuu appears for Kelluu (2026-04-14, $18M), Chipmetrics (2024-01-24, $3M), SeeTrue Technologies (2022-09-22, $450K), and Redkik (2021-07-02, $200K).
Are there temporal clusters among the most recent rounds, or are dates evenly distributed across 2021–2026?
Dates are not evenly spread. The list includes back-to-back 2026 entries at the top (Capalo AI on 2026-02-06 for $13M and Kelluu on 2026-04-14 for $18M), while many remaining rounds cluster in 2023–2025 (e.g., FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07; Chipmetrics $3M on 2024-01-24; Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13). The oldest shown round is Redkik’s grant on 2021-07-02 ($200K).
What does the stage mix look like across these 12 entries, and is any stage notably prevalent?
“Series Unknown” appears frequently: 5 of 12 entries are labeled Series Unknown (Norolan Artisanlures $630K on 2025-02-17; Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13; FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07; plus two other Series Unknown rows in the 2020s). Seed rounds are also prominent (e.g., Marginum $3M on 2025-08-22 is Seed; Chipmetrics $3M on 2024-01-24 is Seed; several smaller Seed amounts appear in 2022–2023). Disclosed Series A rounds are limited to two entries: Capalo AI ($13M, 2026-02-06) and Kelluu ($18M, 2026-04-14).
Are there outliers in either disclosed amount or sector that would merit separate diligence?
Yes—both on amount and on sector. Amount outliers include Feel and Play at $20K (2023-11-22), far below other disclosed rounds such as Chipmetrics’ $3M (2024-01-24) and Redkik’s $200K grant (2021-07-02). Sector-wise, biotech appears multiple times (Aurealis Therapeutics $9M on 2024-11-13 and FinVector $48M on 2023-06-07), while financial services is represented by Redkik’s $200K grant (2021-07-02), distinct from the AI and health-related entries.
