Kiilto Ventures

Kiilto Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Kiilto, a Finnish family-owned company with over 100 years of history in construction chemicals. The firm backs early-stage startups transforming the built environment through innovation in hardware, software, building materials, and business models. Its focus areas span four critical challenges: climate change and biodiversity (buildings produce over a third of global CO₂), inefficient construction productivity (a $13T market with almost no productivity growth), indoor health (90% of time spent indoors, often in unhealthy spaces), and circular materials (construction consumes 50% of global raw materials). Kiilto Ventures combines smart capital with deep industry insight, offering portfolio companies access to Kiilto's century-long expertise, R&D capabilities, and commercial networks across the Nordic and Baltic regions.
