Inven has been ranked #10 on Sifted’s Future 50, a list recognizing the fastest-growing startups in Europe.
Over the past year, Inven has expanded across key European and US markets, onboarded hundreds of new customers, and shipped major product advancements in private-market intelligence and new ways of sourcing proprietary deals.
This milestone belongs to our team, customers, and investors. Thank you for helping us build better, move faster, and rethink what’s possible in modern M&A intelligence and deal sourcing.
“Dealmaking is about seeing what others miss. Our mission at Inven is to build the AI platform every M&A professional relies on: one that can analyze companies with real depth and bring all relevant private-market data together in one place, long before opportunities hit anyone else’s radar,” says Niilo Pirttijärvi, Co-Founder & CEO of Inven.

Being recognized on the Future 50 reflects the pace at which we’re executing, and the conviction of the customers who push us to solve the hardest problems in private-market intelligence — from finding emerging companies earlier to cutting through fragmented data with real accuracy.
“Private markets move fast, and the data behind them is fragmented. Our job is to bring clarity,” says Ekku Jokinen, co-founder of Inven. “We’re investing heavily in accuracy, scale, and AI-native search so our customers can trust every signal they see in Inven.”
“Private markets move fast, and the data behind them is fragmented. Our job is to bring clarity."
“In fast-moving environments, M&A teams don’t have time to dig through scattered data. They need systems that know what matters and that have all necessary data in one place. That’s why we’re designing Inven as an intelligence layer that filters out noise, and brings the right insight to the surface before it’s even asked”, says Tommi Kupiainen, co-founder of Inven.
