byFounders

We are a community-powered early-stage VC, proudly backing the next generation of globally ambitious and impact-aware founders. When we invest, we welcome you to our community. A crucial part of that is our Collective, consisting of 70+ of some of the most accomplished Nordic and Baltic founders and operators. Making up a tight-knit global community, the Collective and our Portfolio companies are available to support you and to provide you with everything you need on your journey to building a wildly successful company. We love to hear from founders and welcome cold intros. If you'd like to submit your pitch deck you can do so on the website but, before you do, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with our 8 T Investment Framework (https://www.byfounders.vc/approach). We look forward to hearing from you!

Key Risks

Dependence on the success of their portfolio companies poses a financial risk if startups fail to achieve anticipated growth or market traction.

Increased competition among venture capital firms for early-stage deals could drive up investment costs and reduce potential returns.

Regulatory considerations related to ESG and data privacy (GDPR) add complexity to investment decisions and compliance requirements.

Opportunities

Leveraging the byFounders Collective and partnerships with accelerators/incubators can provide access to promising early-stage companies and valuable expertise.

Expanding investments in AI, climate tech, and other high-growth technology sectors offers potential for significant financial returns and positive impact.

Focusing on impact-aware investing can attract mission-driven founders and investors, enhancing brand reputation and attracting sustainable capital.
