About us
Ikorni Invest is a Finnish family office founded in 2012. We began by investing in startups across various industries, and over time found our true focus in impact-driven ventures. Today, we primarily invest in companies creating lasting impact within sustainable development and life sciences, and take pride in being founder-friendly investors.
Our mission is to back entrepreneurs who combine solid technology with clear purpose — people working on solutions that make both economic and environmental sense. We like practical innovation, measurable environmental and social impact, and long-term thinking over short-term trends.
Since 2012, we have made over 50 direct investments in unlisted companies and taken stakes in several venture capital and private equity funds.
Portfolio showcase
AlphaSense
The very first company we ever backed, AlphaSense has just closed a $350M financing round at a $7.5B valuation, nearly doubling their valuation and bringing in some of the most respected names in institutional investing.
Soil Scout
Soil Scout develops wireless underground sensors that deliver real-time soil moisture, temperature, and salinity data as a precise alternative to manual sampling and guesswork. Their technology replaces outdated, experience-based irrigation and turf management used on golf courses, sports fields, and farmland. The result is healthier turf and more efficient water use, proven at scale on 13 of the stadiums hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
