Tekes Tempo

Funding for early-stage startups

Starting up?

We fund companies with significant potential that are creating new markets

The best teams show commitment and an ability to learn from customers

Private funding acts as a proof of concept and ensures the company has enough resources for fast growth

Leverage Tempo to quadruple your investor’s money

We match the money invested by private investors to give startups more resources to test their product lean and rapidly

Our funding instrument is a non-dilutive €100,000 grant

A basic example

A company with four co-founders who have invested 25 000€ in the company, and have begun working in the startup full time

To speed up development, they receive over 25 000€ of angel funding

With this funding in place they run a 130 000€ project to build the MVP with Tempo covering 75% of the costs. The project is split into two phases: Tempo1 and Tempo2

It’s time to go fast
