Helsinki-based Kvanted have made eight investments since launching in late 2023 as the first Nordic VC firm focused on industrial tech.
Now, they are strengthening their presence in the central European DACH region, with plans for an additional office in Zurich or Munich by the end of the year.
"If you have a good offering that resonates with the big, more established players, I think there's a lot of opportunity," co-founder Maria Wasastjerna tells Impact Loop.

Maria Wasastjerna and Lyydia Lappi may be sitting in separate rooms for their video interview with Impact Loop, but you can sense the rapport and respect between them through the screen.
"It was just a really good match, both in the skill set and expertise, but really also, personality wise," says Wasastjerna about Lappi’s hire as Kvanted’s first investment manager in January. "It has to be a person that the energy feels right with."
