Flowhaven, a media-licensing platform based in Helsinki, has raised $16 million in a Series A funding round backed by Linkedin backer Sapphire Ventures. 

Founded in 2016, the Finnish startup helps brands manage all their licensing partnerships on a single platform, from contracts through to design and royalties.

The firm already works with some of the best known brands in the world, including Japanese gaming giant Nintendo, and has been backed by the likes of Salesforce and Global Founders Capital. Sapphire Sport, the arm of Sapphire focused on sports, media, lifestyle, and entertainment ventures, led the round. 

Cofounder Kalle Törmä said the firm hoped to upend the “mish-mash of disparate solutions” like spreadsheets and clunky email chains with something more streamlined.

“We’ve raised this latest round of financing to double down on our product so we can facilitate licensing workflows for every major entertainment, media lifestyle brand and agency in need,” he said.
