Brillian, a Finnish artificial intelligence company serving multinational clients including Siemens, Storytel and Carnival Cruise Lines, has secured a majority investment from PostScriptum, the founder's office established by AI entrepreneur Peter Sarlin. The company's founding team, workforce and other current investors will maintain a significant minority stake in the business.
PostScriptum has built a track record of nurturing high-impact AI ventures. The organization incubated NestAI, Qutwo and Silo AI—the latter of which AMD acquired in 2024 in what stands as Europe's largest AI acquisition to date. Its angel investments span firms such as Lovable, Legora, Tandem Health, ICEYE and Prior Labs, which SAP subsequently acquired. Beyond its portfolio work, PostScriptum operates Foundation PS, an initiative backing AI research advancement across Finland and the broader European continent.
Brillian was established in 2024 by Tarmo Pajunen, Tatu Hautala and Jussi Järvinen. The company has assembled a team capable of managing AI implementation across its full spectrum—from initial strategy through to embedding artificial intelligence into operational workflows. Operating from two AI hubs based in Finland, Brillian has maintained an international orientation since inception, forging partnerships with major industrial players. A substantial portion of its revenue derives from overseas markets.
The partnership between PostScriptum and Brillian seeks to establish a premier European firm in AI deployment, one positioned to drive transformation across industries. For Brillian specifically, the backing creates opportunities to pursue larger and more complex client projects, deepen its reach across international markets and establish additional AI hubs in the coming year.
Both organizations stress that while much contemporary focus in artificial intelligence centers on increasingly sophisticated models, genuine value emerges through effective deployment. Peter Sarlin articulated this perspective: "The real impact of AI is determined by how it is deployed: reshaping how companies run their operations, develop their offerings, and serve their customers. That takes the right combination of AI deployment tools, infrastructure and platforms together with people who can bridge leadership and strategy, technology and everyday operations, and this is Brillian's strength. We're proud to support the team's ambition to become the leading European AI deployment company that can compete globally."
Jussi Järvinen, Brillian's co-founder and chief executive, reflected on the company's founding vision and the significance of the investment: "Tatu, Tarmo, and I founded Brillian because we believed AI would change how every business runs, and we wanted to build the company that makes that change happen, in Europe and across the world. Partnering with PostScriptum is a major step toward that vision and a natural continuation of the path the three of us set out on together."
