it comes in a hoodie ;) 

In collaboration with Son of a Tailor, we have designed a People hoodie. And we have made 150 pieces come to life. Every garment is created by a human being at Son of a Tailor's production house in Portugal. Every little detail has been through a set of hands - from designing, to sewing, placing the neck label, and packing.

We consider ourselves as the operational vc. In our vocabulary operational means hands-on. We believe that the real battles are won during the day-to-day fights and not in quarterly strategy meetings.
Fast forward, it is our job to help you succeed.

With a careful hand we actively support and push your start-up with all we got. We dive in alongside you to understand your company from within, so we can provide the most valuable help to you.
Each start-up has their own very specific challenges, but we're always there for you. To support, cheer and assist. In everything from attending 'Monday Meetings' to driving strategic initiatives, building sales models, recruiting talent and much more. Whatever it takes to see you succeed.

Very little can properly prepare you for a startup journey. You have to experience and live it yourself. But allow us to share some of the things, we have learned along the way.

Building a new company is crazy hard. The number of tasks, decisions, and challenges that need to be overcome are just staggering. And succeeding requires a great team that is at all times firing on all cylinders.

Take care of the team

Do you have an original idea with global potential? 
Are you an established start up with capital needs? 
What are you waiting for?

We help entrepreneurs succeed. It has been our mission from day one. We challenge existing paradigms of how things are done in the normal VC world. Our experience of actually being in the thick of the action day in, day out with Founders and their companies, actively pushing them towards their end game - wherever it might be - has taught us it pays off. To be active. To be present. To be hands on. To apply everything we know in every interaction, every task. Whatever it takes. 

Originality doesn’t come in suit

People. Great people. They have been the center of attention since we started investing intensively in 2018. We invest in people in everything we do: in problems affecting potentially millions of people on a global scale, in deeply committed and talented founder teams, and in the strength, experience and know-how of our team and its ability to help our founders and portfolio companies succeed on their journeys.

About2

We partner with the most talented entrepreneurs – bringing to the table industry know-how, relentless dedication and money to move startups fast forward.

We back start-ups and founder teams when we’re sure that our operational skillset, experience, and network will bring an original vision to life. From pre-seed to venture to expansive growth with best-in-class founders at every stage of the journey.
While we like to keep an open mind, and only invest in companies that improve people and businesses’ everyday lives, we don’t want to invest our time (or money) in companies working within industries or sectors, which we consider bad for people.
Our industry focus may change from time to time depending on emerging macro-economic, socio-economic, and technological trends. But based on a combination of our experiences, current capabilities, and interesting megatrends we see in the market, we focus our investments within technology-driven companies and with a soft focus on Digital health and SaaS products.

We invest in people in everything that we do: In real life challenges affecting potentially millions of people and businesses on a global scale and in deeply committed and talented founder teams of people uniquely qualified and motivated to grasp the problem and build tomorrows most powerful solutions. Tech companies, with software driven business-models. 
 
At our core we remain agnostic of what industries, we could potentially make investments in. Having said that there will be industries, where we will not be investing. While we like to keep an open mind, we also see the value in focusing our attention on a few, more specific industries. We are currently focused on digital health and enterprise software (B2B SaaS).

What do you invest in?

In our vocabulary operational means hands-on. We believe that the real battles are won during the day-to-day fights and not in quarterly strategy meetings. With a careful hand we actively support and push your start-up with all we got. From commercial, product and techy people to operational team members. Read more by clicking on "Operations".

What does it mean when you say Operational?

Our focus is early-stage companies. We often see our greatest match in late pre-seed or early seed (companies that are in the space of: up to 6-12 months from market launch until commercially starting companies). That is our sweet spot. The companies that have come further on the journey, we have an opportunistic approach to early Series A cases that fits our investment thesis.

At what stage do you invest?

Basically, you need to be clear about the importance of working with an external operational venture partner. Like yourself, we invest ourselves in your business, not just money. It also means that we fight with you. You are always welcomed to contact us, otherwise you will find us in the startup environment. 
 
We would recommend that you have made clear considerations about your future journey, how you want to develop the company, and which partners you want to have on board. We are in it for real.

Before reaching out, what do I need to fix?

In the pre-seed stage, our normal ticket size is between 250k-750k EUR. Seed stage ticket size <1,5m EUR and Series A investments <2m EUR.

What is your normal ticket size? (Stage)

The short answer is a no. We are extremely focused on the journey of the company, which means that introducing special terms on a pre-seed and seed level won’t make any sense. We want to enter into equal agreements that benefit all parties to an agreement. Only in this way a solid basis will be established for a constructive collaboration, where we will jointly create a successful company.	

Do you have any standard terms?

In both pre-seed and seed stage, we are very often a lead investor. We prefer to be a lead investor from early stage through Series-A. It’s definitely not a requirement for us, but due to our active involvement, it often becomes very natural.

Are you a lead investor?

We are very happy to do that. We have a large network of syndication partners and continuously expand our network with investors where we have common values.

Do you syndicate with other VC’s and investors?

We want to learn how you operate and interact. We are super operational and because of that, the match in between you, as founders, and us are even more important than ever. But all that said, our preliminary decision process will typically take about 2-4 weeks. 
 
We like to be honest, if there’s something not adding up, we will give you our feedback without any filters. That will give you the best opportunity to learn from feedback and implement if you believe it’s relevant.

What is your normal procedure? (e.g., decision time)

In a future perspective, we expect to invest about 50-60% of our capital in Denmark (and entities majority owned by Danish founders), approx. 20-30% in the rest of Nordics and around 10-20% in other European countries.

Where do you invest?

Do you have an original idea with global potential? Are you an established start up with capital needs? 
What are you waiting for?

A crew of damn good people who see each other, and everyone else, as human beings with personalities, skills, strengths, and weaknesses. Digital natives, experienced innovators, curious engineers, tech-savvy marketeers, geeks and whatever– that’s right, we don’t discriminate – goes to work so you can go where no-one has gone before.
