Nevestor's investment activities focus on cases and projects that relate to financial technologies and businesses in the digital era through its investing, financing and other supporting activities. Nevestor creates value through catalyzing such processes that leverage such modern digital business models further, and help to realise their potential.
We collaborate with co-investors and financiers offering equity, debt and mezzanine solutions that enable growth and success of these digital businesses.
We always focus on innovation, to stretch boundaries and disrupt the status quo of financial services businesses. We make smart moves that are oriented towards the future. We always strive to do more, and to do important and meaningful things with the resources we have available, to make things better. We never stop. We are always trying to do and discover new things we are excited about. We are seriously in the business of starting and growing new things.

Even if we are excited of the future prospects of digital growth, our principal investment activities are always also inspired by timeless entrepreneurial values such as hard work, independence and common sense. However brilliant an idea may be, it has to be of common sense too. Anything that cannot be reasoned with common sense as well rarely works. Future-oriented, innovative spirit must be combined with experience and pragmatism in order to succeed, to connect the future opportunity with today's realities.
Our approach is to drive growth and profitability in each one of our businesses. We do this by:
