#digirockstars is an investment company regulated by the Finnish Financial Authority.
#digirockstars started in 2013 to create a more sustainable model for super-early stage Founders. By doing this, lower investment risks for us and our investment partners.
Our roots and values come from Northern Europe, where we believe that by supporting founders early on, we can make a significant impact on the whole regional Startup and Innovation ecosystem.
We are a group of serial entrepreneurs and know how hard the journey is. For us, this is a long-term journey that starts with your idea. Once we get to know you, and you have shown us signs of early traction (we will help you with that), we will invest early on, when help is needed the most.
Through our workshops, we get to know you and make sure your idea has been validated. We give you the tools and frameworks to test traction, find early customers and take your concept to the next level.

Our WORKSHOPS
Every week we run open and free workshops.
We show you multiple ways to run experiments and validate your idea. This helps you to get started with your startup, helps you to see if your plan has some substance behind it, or how to take the concept to the next level.
Our Campus is in Helsinki, but we also run workshops in our satellite Campuses in Tampere and abroad.
Check out our events on Eventbrite or Meetup.
We are continuously opening new locations, so drop us a line if you are interested in opening or operating a satellite Campus.
CONTACT US
We would love to hear from you.
If you are Founder, don't send your pitch deck. We’d like to get to know you first. Let's meet during one of our workshops and take it from there.
If you can't attend one, send us a message and let's have a call. Maybe even organize a Satellite Campus where you are located; we are mobile ;)
We also help Ecosystem builders and our fellow Investors to succeed and maximize their returns. Drop us a line if you want to know how.
