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.
