Virta closes 30 M€ investment round, accelerating global transition to sustainable mobility
Virta (Liikennevirta Oy) closed a 30 million euro investment round in April 2021, led by growth-equity firm Jolt Capital with co-investors Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment) and Vertex Growth, with all existing shareholders participating; the first closing was completed in April 2020 with Japanese energy company ENEOS. At the time the Virta platform was used in more than 30 countries by nearly one thousand B2B customers. Then-CEO Jussi Palola and Jolt partner Laurent Samama (later a Virta board member) commented on the funding, and Vertex Growth's Tam Hock Chuan described Virta as the firm's first European investment.
