Investment thesis

Crowberry Capital backs fearless founders building companies across the Nordics, focusing on the seed and early stage where it aims to identify value before market validation. The firm operates a 'company first' philosophy, making every decision in the best interest of the portfolio company, and follows through with continued support from seed to exit. It emphasizes inclusivity, viewing the market's gender gap as an untapped investment opportunity, and seeks founders solving real problems with a positive impact. With its second fund of €90M, Crowberry partners with the next generation of Nordic tech leaders, writing initial tickets of roughly €200,000 to €2,000,000.

4Di Capital

4DI Ventures was co-founded by repeat tech operator and ESET Southern Africa founder Justin Stanford, giving it unusually deep cybersecurity and software operating experience rather than a purely financial background, and originated from Stanford's own angel-investing experiments that directly led to both the firm's creation and the launch of the Silicon Cape Initiative. The firm explicitly describes its style as "nurture capital" with intensive, hands-on engagement, and Stanford is vocal about avoiding the "unicorn at all costs" mentality in African tech, instead emphasizing sustainable market readiness and fundamentals in a more conservative, durability-focused investment approach.
