The story of Grünfin started with our founders – Triin and Karin. They both cared about their children and the sustainable development of the world. We all know the world is on an unsustainable track – we’re fighting the climate crisis, health challenges and growing inequality, all at once.
Investing in a more sustainable planet is more likely to succeed if more of us do so. We hope to see a future where all investment decisions are based not just on profit, but also on impact.
As a mother of two, Karin cares strongly about the sustainability of the planet. She thinks investing through the lens of ESGs and UN Sustainable Development Goals is not only the right and good thing to do, but also leads to better risk-return ratios as climate change intensifies and physical risks increase.
With 20 years of experience in the international finance and technology world, Triin has helped to build companies like Skype and TransferWise from very early stages to worldwide unicorns. As a mother of two small children and a long-time investor, she’s convinced that every technology product should strive to make the world a better place.
Over the last two decades, Alvar has worked in banking and fintech, building product development teams, fintech systems and integrations. As an early employee of (Transfer)Wise, he built and managed product engineering teams there for 7 years. Prior to that he worked with the CRM, lending and online banking teams at Swedbank Estonia, led the technical launch of a new internet bank in Latvia and Lithuania and architected a flexible loan applications processing and scoring system.
