Nordic Makers

What is Nordic Makers?

Nordic Makers is a venture capital fund headquartered in Sweden with a focus on investing in the software industry, including web marketplaces, SaaS, education, and other innovative sectors. With a minimum investment threshold of $500,000, they position themselves as seed investment specialists, aiming to support early-stage companies by providing capital, guidance, and expertise.

Their investment thesis is to be the type of investor that was lacking when their team founded their own companies, drawing upon their extensive experience to offer the best practices in the industry. Nordic Makers invest in a variety of startups with the potential to significantly advance their respective fields.

Companies in their portfolio include Labster, which provides advanced virtual lab simulations; Fresto.io, offering a comprehensive SaaS solution for restaurateurs; Seaborg Technologies, developing sustainable nuclear reactor technology; Willa Pay, simplifying payments for freelancers; NextMind, creating a brain-sensing wearable for device control; Helix Nano, leveraging AI for curing genetic diseases; LetsBuild, providing construction management software; and Singa, described as the 'Spotify of karaoke.' They are committed to reinvesting experience and money into projects that promise to revolutionize their industries.

Aside from investing, they actively form part of the companies' journey, as can be seen in their involvement with the growth and success of companies like Just Eat, Zendesk, and Sitecore.

The team at Nordic Makers entails a group of partners with diverse backgrounds, including experience in founding successful companies, thus providing a wealth of knowledge and a strong support system for the startups they invest in.
