Winterbackwoods makes investments of up to €50,000. The first investment is usually about half the total investment. We invest in Finnish start-ups. The start-up company usually already has a finished product as well as some customers. Typical industries include SaaS and B2B services, e-commerce, and other subscription-based services. The product should have a neutral or positive effect on some of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Our investment philosophy focuses on the areas highlighted here, but SaaS products and software solutions in other areas could qualify as well. - Quality Education - Clean Water and Sanitation - Affordable and Clean Energy - Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions - Decent Work and Economic Growth - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure - Sustainable Cities and Communities - Responsible Consumption and Production - Climate Action - Life Below Water - Life on Land

Information security is second nature to us. Information networks contain large volumes of business critical data that either helps companies to prosper or brings them down. Information networks maintain data and operations related to the society, businesses and private individuals. This makes such networks an interesting operational environment for people who want to misuse data. In the on-going information network battle between good and evil, 2NS stands in the vanguard of the good guys. We provide testing, instructions and training to promote secured information security.
