Investment thesis
Iceland Venture Studio operates as a company builder that partners directly with founders from idea stage through exit. Rather than simply picking founders, the studio takes an active role in mentoring and coaching teams across technology design and development, strategy, business development, recruiting and operations. It offers a 'Developer's Ecosystem' of multidisciplinary talent and a 'Capital Ecosystem' of VCs and angels who invest alongside the studio. Its philosophy centers on a changing technology landscape driven by customer centricity, viewing personal data, privacy and security as mega-trends ripe for decentralization.
