We are not venture capitalists.

We are entrepreneurs who have built 🦄🦄🦄 and now invest our own money.

When we founded and grew our companies, we were rather lonely. The Nordics was an immature startup ecosystem, and there were few investors and advisors.

Times have changed. We are bringing our unique founder experience and capital to help the Nordics compete on a global scale.

☝️

We have founded (and funded) some real bangers.
