## What the register says

**$2.2B** gross assets of its funds, 3 advisers combined Oct 2026

**Exempt** reporting adviser venture or small private funds

- **Legal name:** CMRF Advisors OY

## What they claim to have backed

From their own portfolio page (on their website)

**0** of 1 we have independently watched raise

Whistleblower

Weaker than a round we watched, stronger than a list somebody sold us. A firm is far less willing to put a company on its own site that it never funded.
