Monika Liikamaa likes to swear.
She’s the co-founder and co-CEO of Finnish FinTech Enfuce, the leading European card issuer processor.
As we sat down for our interview at Lisbon’s Web Summit the first clue about her love of swearing was the ‘Get shit done’ message on her T-shirt.
Liikamaa is a seriously talented and likeable entrepreneur.
Her aim is to build Europe’s number one issuer processor in Europe by 2035, with a bold goal of hitting €10bn in ARR.
The company’s last investment round was in 2022 and brought the total funds raised to date to €73.5m.
“I’m going into the next phase now and, of course, I’m seeking a unicorn valuation,” she said.
Liikamaa has strong views on pretty much everything and she isn’t shy about sharing them.
From the lack of VC funding going to female founders to why her own children can’t expect to inherit any future fortune, no topic is off limits.
