- Birdsview
Participated · Equity · Aug 2026
Birdsview develops a platform that combines ground-penetrating radar, LiDAR and proprietary algorithms to turn sensor data into 3D models showing rebar position, thickness, cracks, voids and corrosion without drilling. The company launched its first concrete product in January 2025 and after beginning direct pre-sales in March 2026 customers in nine countries adopted the system within weeks. Birdsview started by building sensors to detect rot in wooden utility poles and expanded the approach to concrete; it was founded by Olav Skogen and Simen Husøy while students in Trondheim. The company operates from Bergen and Oslo and has 14 employees. Since launch it has scanned over 100 structures and counts clients such as Vinci, Bouygues Construction, EllisDon, Sweco, Asplan Viak and Rambøll. Customer examples include a Bergen contractor that used Birdsview to map rebar under a basement, saving about 200,000 NOK and two weeks of work.
- Atech
Participated · Seed · May 2026
Atech builds an AI-driven platform that lets users describe hardware concepts in natural language and receive working prototypes with the platform handling underlying technical complexity. The company brands its approach as "vibe-engineering," aiming to make physical creation as fast and accessible as modern software tooling. Founded in 2026 by CEO Tomas Erik Harmer, CCO Vladimir Baran and CTO David Stålmarck, Atech is based in Copenhagen. It focuses on lowering the traditional barriers to hardware prototyping that require specialized expertise or large engineering budgets. With a €681k pre-Seed raise announced in 2026, Atech is advancing development of its platform and positioning itself as an early-stage entrant in the physical AI and hardware tooling space.
- Kime
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
Kime provides marketers with an analytics dashboard that tracks how brands are cited, ranked, and described across major AI assistants and generative search platforms—a discipline it calls generative engine optimisation (GEO). The software surfaces metrics such as share of voice, competitor positioning, sentiment, and the online sources that large language models draw from, turning opaque AI answers into transparent, actionable insights. Since launch, the company has delivered more than 60 product demos (primarily to senior marketing leaders) and already serves brands from multiple industries, including via newly added agency-focused modules. Early users employ the platform for benchmarking, campaign reporting, and portfolio-wide AI visibility analysis. Founded by CEO Vasilij Brandt, Kime has deliberately started with an analytics layer but plans to evolve into a broader AI marketing management platform that lets teams optimise their presence across an increasingly fragmented landscape of AI assistants. The company recently secured €2 million in funding to accelerate product development and commercial expansion.
- Munchfam
Participated · Equity · Oct 2024
Munchfam offers a service platform that combines digital tools, plug ’n’ play brands and high‑quality ingredients to help restaurants improve efficiency and profitability. Its solutions support restaurants across dine‑in, delivery and takeout sales channels. The company was founded in Finland by Pertti Kallioinen, Wei Zhou, Henri Auvinen and Sauli Lehtovaara; the founders and team have over 50 years of combined experience in the restaurant industry and service business development across the EU, Australia and Silicon Valley. Team members have built and run their own restaurant chains and draw on that operational experience to design the service. Munchfam says its platform enables restaurants to adapt as more customers move online to ordering rather than dining in. With new capital, the company plans to continue scaling and developing the platform in its current markets: Finland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
- Pluto.markets
Participated · Equity · Feb 2024
Founded in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs trader Joakim Bruchmann and software engineer Oscar Vingtoft, Pluto.markets provides a commission-free investment platform aimed at retail investors across the Nordics. The company offers trading in fractional shares, exchange-traded funds and cryptocurrencies, and secured an EU-wide investment licence before beginning large-scale fundraising. Since opening to the public roughly 14 months ago, the platform has amassed more than 10,000 users in Denmark. Management plans to enter additional European markets and ‘disrupt the ETF’ space for both individuals and businesses with products it claims the continent has not yet seen. To drive this expansion, the startup has raised nearly $10 million to date, including the latest seed round. Pluto.markets aspires to replicate the success of Robinhood and Trade Republic while targeting Europeans who invest in local currencies. Its long-term goal is to become the preferred investment platform across Europe and reinvent asset management.
