Before joining Evli Growth Partners, Jere gained experience from both startups and finance. Most recently he worked at a software startup focusing on data analysis, business development and sales. Prior to that, he worked as an account operator at Euroclear Finland. With a degree in finance and economics, Jere is constantly learning by doing everyday analysis and searching for the most beautiful growth companies. These various tasks allow him to learn the inner workings of venture capital.

We are thrilled to invest in Planity alongside esteemed investors such as Infravia, Revaia, Credit Mutuel, Bpifrance, Eiffel Investment Group and Alven.
