Vilja Ventures
Vilja Ventures (Maha Growth Oy) is a personal investment vehicle and family office focused on early-stage deep-tech and B2B SaaS ventures with global potential.
Vilja carries layered meaning across languages:
- In Finnish, it means grain, a symbol of growth, nourishment, and continuity. It’s also a traditional girl’s name, not widespread but quietly rising in popularity and rich with promise.
- In Swedish, it means will, willpower, the quiet, persistent force behind breakthroughs
- In Lithuanian (Vilija), reflects both hope and a flowing river
We back founders and ideas that are fruitful, grounded, and brave. Building long-term impact through clarity and commitment.
