    Nordic Makers is a collective of seasoned Nordic entrepreneurs who invest their own capital in early-stage Nordic B2B software startups with a born-global mindset. They typically write first tickets of €500K–€1M and provide hands-on founder support rather than operating as a traditional pooled-fund VC.

    Average disclosed round size is $10.5M (across 6 rounds with reported amounts).
