Norte Ventures

Significado de Stamina: a capacidade de sustentar um esforço físico ou mental prolongado: o segredo dela é a resistência, e não a velocidade. Energia constante gerada pelas conexões criadas no círculo de confiança, que alimenta, inspira e recarrega o empreendedor, para que ele chegue nos melhores resultados de longo prazo. Somos um Venture Capital diferente: Dar tempo ao tempo não parece muito factível quando você tem que gerar resultados rápidos também, não é mesmo? Corrida contra o relógio, pressão, relações fugazes, voracidade. Desconfiança. Essa parece ter sido a energia dominante no empreendedorismo até hoje. Mas agora chegou a STAMINA para mudar tudo isso. Nós somos a energia que quer convidar o empreendedor brasileiro a enxergar e vivenciar o longo prazo. Como? Primeiro, mostrando que, na STAMINA, ele não está sozinho: aqui, fundadores das startups, parceiros e investidores criam laços profundos e duradouros, através da colaboração genuína em um ecossistema onde a confiança é a moeda mais valiosa. É à partir daí que ele ganha a resistência e a tranquilidade necessárias para recarregar as baterias e pensar no futuro, ao contrário do que se vê por aí. Na STAMINA não nos interessa ir rápido, nos interessa ir longe. E para isso é preciso ter senso de coletivo, confiança e energia e visão de longo prazo. É por isso que na STAMINA ninguém pára pelo caminho. STAMINA. The power of meaningful connections

We are an investment holding company with a long-term vision. Do not confuse us with an investment fund: our approach is different. We invest early and stay close to our founders through the turbulent first years. Naturally, we do not want to be forced into selling our shares once things start getting better and want to keep an ability to adapt our exit strategies and timelines to the reality of our portfolio companies. We are hands-on investors Our entrepreneurial backgrounds enable us to provide our entrepreneurs with insightful feedback and mentoring. Building a company is a tough journey, and founders are not omniscient. It is our job to help them learn and avoid mistakes.

We are firmly committed to living and working by these core values: Honesty: We are honest and transparent, informing each other, as well as our portfolio founders, exactly what we think about work and execution. We provide candid feedback in realtime, and we're straight-talkers. Kindness: We always try to remember that we can never know everything happening in someone's life, and try to approach every difficult situation with empathy and understanding. Ambition: In just three years, we have built the most active pre-seed and seed-stage VC fund in Sweden. Now we look across the world to find the technologies and business models of the future, backing the best founders in the Nordic region. Helpfulness: We endeavor to be as helpful as possible to every entrepreneur we meet, whether or not we ultimately invest in their startup. We also try to work with other investors to help them find relevant deals. We invest in founders who live and work by these values: Relentlessness: You have identified a problem to solve and you are absolutely obsessed with developing the solution. You will stop at nothing to solve problems for your customers, and inspire your team to act similarly. Resourcefulness: You leverage all of the tools, opportunities and advice at your disposal. You will always find a way to get the resource you need, even if it seems out of reach. Your hustle is your primary door-opener. Transparency: You never hide from bad news, always keeping your team and stakeholders informed of both your successes and your struggles. You never allow people to operate in silos, championing collaboration. Compassion: You are able to show empathy towards everyone in your organization, even through turbulent times. You never make disagreements personal, and prioritize the wellbeing of the people you work with.
