Suomen kanssayrittäjät SKY ry (e. Finnish Co-Entrepreneurs SKY Assn) is a community of individuals advocating knowledge investing as The Missing Link when building business from venture-to-capital (V2C): An association established and registered in Finland, in 2005.
Knowledge investors are interim owner-partners of ambitious (founding) entrepreneurs, dedicated to building investment-ready enterprises for global markets, and interested in realizing the entrepreneurial value-added at an eventual exit. Co-entrepreneurs invest their entire business competence, capability and connections in the target ventures, in exchange of equity – instead of selling their time for a fixed salary or fee – thereby establishing fully align interests.
