Vaaka Partners
Overview
Vaaka Partners is a private equity firm that helps mid-sized companies in Finland and Sweden become Business Champions. Our core segment is digital evolution in business services. We began in minority investing in 1989 and gradually shifted to buyout investing. In 2010, we became an independent private equity firm wholly owned by our management, and focused on building growth through strategic and timely buyouts. Typically, we invest in companies with €10–200m in revenue and a strong strategic position in healthy industries. In 2024, we entered the Swedish market with a local team. We work as one team across borders. We manage three funds with capital commitments of EUR 625 million. Our ambition is to be the #1 partner for entrepreneurs and management teams of mid-sized companies in our home markets. We understand the challenges and opportunities entrepreneurs face. Through the Vaaka Champion Platform, we provide the right tools, expert guidance, and hands-on support to fuel sustainable growth.
