Scale Capital

We are active partners from seed to exit and work closely with visionary founders and teams thoughout the different phases of scaling and internationalization. We find great value in ensuring mutual compatibility and alignment, as well as understanding the DNA of your company, BEFORE committing to working together. We focus on getting to know you and the team, typically during a 3-months period. We’ll work closely with you to understand what value we can bring, and to align expectations from both sides. Together, we will map out the opportunities, the challenges and the growth journey ahead Only then, after this “kissing period”, you and we will know if a partnership feels right. This makes the final decision and commitment feel easy. Introduction & fit People matter…and team dynamics are important to us. Every individual and team is unique and have their own strengths and perspectives, which is why our introductions are preferably done over a cup of coffee, where we can get to know one another. Throughout our interactions we look for fit and common values. We cherish people with strong convictions, with the background and experience to back them up. We do not take a transactional approach to investing, but see this as the beginning of a long-term professional relationship based on integrity and transparency…and yes, working together also needs to be fun! Experts & team building Scale Capital brings more than just capital; we bring decades of know-how, domain expertise and access to relevant networks and stakeholders in Europe and North America. We bring our Scale advisor and investor network into play, with more than 80 industry and domain experts that can bring strategic and operational value, even before we invest in your company. This is way for you, as founder, to assess our value add and expertise before making the big decision of bringing us on board as an investor and active partner. Term-sheet & 100-day plan We believe that term-sheets should be a kept simple, founder-fair and with the future scaling of the company in mind. That means no terms that hinder future fundraising or are misaligning interests of founders and investors. It has to be a win-win situation for all parties involved. Before we close any deal, we actively work with your team to develop an acceleration plan, a 100-day plan covering all aspects of your business. That way everyone is well-aligned by the time the investment is transferred into the company account and ready to be put to work. Access to the Scale network of advisors As a founder, you sometimes need someone to lean on, and learn from. Someone who has been in your shoes; made the mistakes, felt the pains and successes. We understand. That’s why we offer access to a wide network of more than 80 advisors and specialists, who can share operational expertise, industry insights and strategic advice to companies in our portfolio. FAQ Why focus on the US market? The United States is by far the largest economy in the world. It has one of the highest GDP pr. capita and a homogeneous market with 330 million consumers. The technology adoption is high, and the market for B2B technology products and services is the largest in the world. In many ways this is a dream market for ambitious tech entrepreneurs. However, it's a highly competitive market and the go-to-market strategy may look very different from what you are used to in your home market.

We help you win in the US market. What do we invest in? We invest in early stage technology companies at the growth inflection point between the Seed and Series A round and deploy $500k-$1.5M initially, with reserves for follow-on investments. Our sweet spot is B2B tech founder teams in the Nordics, who are determined to build global companies they can be proud of. How do we add value? We understand the entrepreneurs’ journey, as we’ve been down that road ourselves. We know how to listen and when to step in. We have been working with technology companies for over a decade and developed and tested approaches for acceleration and scaling in US market; this involves setting up operations, finding product/market fit and scaling teams, and together with our US partners provide the required growth capital for the journey. We are company builders focused on scaling businesses and empowering change. We are an active partner for the duration of your company's growth journey. Why the kissing period?

Frontier Ventures

Frontier Ventures is a venture fund investing in early-stage technology companies with network effects in the United States and globally. Our investment team is based in the United States. The fund was founded by serial entrepreneur Dmitry Alimov, co-founder of IVI.TV, the largest video service for Russian-speaking consumers worldwide serving over 60 million users globally. Frontier Ventures partners with talented entrepreneurs to help them build global market-leading businesses. We stand out by helping our portfolio companies scale globally in Europe and Asia where our partners have access to strong networks of technology entrepreneurs, investors, and tech company executives. We open these powerful networks to the companies we invest in, which helps them scale across borders faster. We also help our portfolio companies raise follow-on financing by giving them access to more than 1,000 US and global VC, growth funds, and family offices where we have long-term business relationships. Our founding team has more than 30 years of collective experience in venture investing, having backed over 50 early-stage companies. Frontier Ventures is backed by family offices, technology entrepreneurs, and financial investors as limited partners. Most of our limited partners are current or former technology entrepreneurs. WHY ARE WE CALLED “FRONTIER VENTURES”? In the history of the exploration of North America, the term “Frontier” was used to determine the boundary between inhabited and unknown territory, where from the 18th to the 20th centuries, settlers developed new areas. Unlimited free land in this zone was available, and thus offered the psychological sense of unlimited opportunity. This, in turn, had many consequences such as optimism, future orientation, and shedding of restraints due to land scarcity. The development of new land to the West and the North of the United States became a catalyst for the settlement of the North American continent and its subsequent rapid economic development. By analogy, the name of our fund – Frontier Ventures – is intended to symbolize the limitless possibilities that are open to entrepreneurs and investors in the development of the software and Internet. Our team and our entrepreneur partners share the spirit of optimism and belief in success, combined with a rational willingness to take risks to achieve great goals, which at one time united the North American pioneers, during their advance towards the unknown.
