Investment thesis
Vendep Capital invests in a small number of high-conviction, AI-native B2B software teams across the Nordics and Baltics each year. The firm deliberately backs fewer companies to give each one full focus and support, providing meaningful follow-on capital, firsthand founder and operator experience, and access to a community of founders. It aims to stay close as companies scale, helping with difficult decisions and providing introductions that lead to A-rounds. The firm reviews every pitch itself and prefers founders with early traction.
