byFounders

byFounders is a community-powered early-stage venture fund focused predominantly on the New Nordics, backed by some of the region’s most accomplished founders investing in and supporting the next generation of globally ambitious founders. We invest from pre-seed to series A (investments ranging between €0,5m - €4m) and are currently investing from our second fund. We pride ourselves on three things:

1. True founder compassion - We’re founders ourselves and our empathy for founders permeates our every interaction, where we strive for transparency and candor. We also have some of the most founder-friendly terms on the market ;)
2. Global tight-knit network We’ve built what we call the ‘byFounders Collective’ which consists of 50+ experienced founders and operators who are incentivized to help us with deal sourcing, evaluation, and most importantly: to help our portfolio companies succeed. These people are today - together with our 45 portfolio companies - spread across the US and Europe.
3. We care about Tomorrow - We believe in the future and recognise the power we hold in shaping it. We, therefore, put a lot of effort into responsible investing and help startups to make a positive impact on the world.
