Company mission
To help entrepreneurs solve the world’s greatest challenges.
Our take
Norrsken, that describes itself as an "impact ecosystem", supplies capital and knowledge for entrepreneurs, as well as access to a community network of their peers. The firm focusses on supporting startups that combine profit with positive global impact, working out of its award-winning Norrsken House hubs in Stockholm, Kigali and Barcelona.
The VC arm of the company has already raised over $500 million through five funds. This has enabled it to support companies such as Einride, that makes electric autonomous trucks; Elypta, a cancer detection startup; and fusion reactor manufacturer Renaissance Fusion. Interestingly, Norrsken also embarks on its own initiatives, which are often high-risk projects with the potential to make a huge impact, that the firm says would usually be avoided by other investors.
By supporting founders and businesses with a desire to improve people's lives, Norrsken is set to play an important role in tackling issues such as healthcare access and climate change. Moving forwards, it will continue to facilitate impact and help draw further attention to the people driving change around the globe.

Company values
- WE OPTIMIZE FOR IMPACT - We know that the world is facing catastrophic risks and massive suffering. We therefore need to make sure to prioritise the most impactful projects and initiatives, and drive them as quickly and effectively as possible
- I’VE GOT IT - We are a team of people that step up and say “I’ll do it, I’ve got it, don’t worry about it - I’ll let you know if I need support.” Ownership brings accountability and high standards to everything we do
- WE’LL FIGURE IT OUT - We’re doing a lot of things for the first time, so we usually have to learn by diving into the deep end of the pool and by being fearless. Even if we haven't seen or solved a specific problem before, we’ll figure it out together
- WE SUCCEED AS A TEAM - We believe that together, we can go further and faster. Our team is our engine, and we give it the care and maintenance it deserves - no part of the team can achieve our mission in isolation
- WE DON’T SHY AWAY FROM HEALTHY CONFLICT - We value openness and transparency and we strive for constant improvement. We give honest, respectful and useful feedback, we value diverse perspectives and welcome constructive and challenging ideas
