Overview
What they do
Founded in 2016 by Niklas Adalberth, Norrsken Foundation was built on the belief that entrepreneurship and technology are the most powerful forces for positive global change. It operates physical co-working hubs and has incubated a suite of independent venture capital funds with a strict 'impact + return' mandate. Norrsken is distinctive in proving that purpose-driven companies can achieve unicorn valuations and top-quartile financial returns without compromising their mission.

What they look for
Norrsken's core thesis is to find, back, and empower "impact unicorns"-companies whose core business model positively impacts one billion lives while generating outsized financial returns. Every investment must be tied to sustainability objectives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They look for highly scalable, tech-driven businesses where impact is intrinsically linked to revenue, seeking companies where scaling the business directly equates to scaling positive impact.
