Approach
Capital paired with operational support.
Our model is simple: when we invest, it is a meaningful angel cheque at pre-seed or seed, alongside structured operational sweat equity in legal, finance and AI — the three disciplines early-stage Nordic and Baltic technology companies most often lack at senior levels. Capital is selective; the operational work stands on its own.
The model
Two things, done well.
We invest cash on standard, founder-friendly terms — typically as a SAFE or convertible at pre-seed, or alongside a priced seed round shortly after. We use Swedish, Finnish, Estonian or English standard templates depending on where the company is incorporated and what is most practical for the next round.
Separately, we contribute structured operational support: a defined number of hours per month from a partner with deep expertise in legal, finance or AI, allocated to where the company actually needs the help — not where it is most fun for us.
The two parts are independent. Founders are not obliged to take operational support to receive capital, and vice versa. But most founders who take both find the combination compounding — a good lawyer, a good finance lead and the right AI decisions are often worth more than the cheque itself in the first year.
Expertise
Where we go deep.
01
Legal
Incorporation, founder agreements, employment, IP, commercial contracts, and the legal architecture of fundraising rounds.
02
Finance
Financial modelling, controls and reporting, the first finance hire, fundraising materials and investor diligence.
03
AI
Architecture, model selection, evaluation, productionisation and the practical economics of AI features.
04
Strategic
Pricing, positioning, hiring at the senior end, and the sequencing of the next 18 months.
Process
How we engage.
01
Introduction
A first conversation, typically forty minutes. We come prepared. There is no formal deck requirement.
02
Diligence
A short, respectful diligence — focused on the team, the wedge, and the next twelve months. Days, not weeks.
03
Partnership
We close on standard terms and agree the shape of operational support. Then we get to work.
