Investment thesis
Butterfly Ventures focuses on seed-stage deep tech, hardware, and hardware-interfacing software companies with social or environmental impact, primarily in Finland and Sweden but also across the Nordics and Baltics. The firm typically enters early, when most portfolio companies have no revenue yet, and favors a co-operative, hands-on approach in which founders receive support from all partners. It always makes its first investment at seed but reserves significant capacity for follow-on rounds. Butterfly emphasizes societal impact and is noted as an early carbon-neutral European VC.
