"While we didn't have an immediate need to raise more capital, we do want to stay ahead of the market and have ambitious plans for the future," chief executive Oskari Saarenmaa said.
The company, with offices in Berlin, Boston, Helsinki, Sydney and Toronto, plans to enter more markets in Asia.
Aiven plans to go public in future but not in the next 18 months, Saarenmaa added.
"It has been clear to us since the beginning that we want to hold on to Aiven's mission and vision as we grow, which means that the IPO route is the more likely choice," he said.
