Welcome to the byFounders
Collective

Please meet our team and Collective members at byfounders.vc/team.

Please accept your invite to the byFounders Community WhatsApp Group where we’ll share urgent messages like recent investments. We’ll also send out emails with Collective-specific info like investment opportunities, founder asks, and event info.

We may also ask you specifically to help us evaluate investments. If we evaluate a company and believe that you might have some relevant insights, we would love to engage you in a call or similar with the founders.

If you meet great founders who are fundraising, please share with us. We’d love to meet the best founders of the New Nordics. It’s never too early for us to engage with a founder and we love to lead very early. And please remember, we have the most founder friendly terms on the market. Our mandate is very broad but we look for:

• Pre-seed & seed. Early is good. Our tickets range from €500K–4M.
• A connection to the Nordics & Baltics. Founders based in the New Nordics or from the New Nordics or founders who have a strong connection to the New Nordics.
• Elite founders with an insane ambition level. Looking for empire builders.
• Startups that are VC cases. We need to see that the startup can grow into at least €1bn in valuation within the next 5–10 years.

We host several events throughout the year. Founder dinners, The Shack Afterhours, events at TechBBQ, and of course our marquee events; the Summit, Basecamp, and the Voyage.

We ask you to show up to the majority of these and make sure you get face-to-face time with founders and community.

Your expertise, experience, and network can be invaluable for our portfolio firms. We greatly appreciate the hands-on advice you can bring. We may ask you to serve as

• A board member or advisor to a specific portfolio company.
• Being ready to join in on a workshop or call with a founder in need of help.
• Participate as a discussion leader. (E.g. at the byFounders Basecamp)
