Profile

Norrsken Launcher is an impact-focused investment firm headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded by Klarna co-founder Niklas Adalberth. The firm takes a unique approach by providing deep operational support to a small number of companies to help bring scientific and technological innovations to market. The team includes partners Erik Engellau-Nilsson and Anna Fredrixon, and they emphasize having industrial partnerships before investing, marking a deviation from typical VC models.

Norrsken Launcher invests globally, targeting pre-seed and seed stages with a focus on impactful innovations that have confirmed industrial interest. Their typical initial check size ranges from $1 to $3 million, and they follow an 'impact-agnostic' investment strategy. The total assets under management are supported by Fund I at approximately €62 million and the newly closed Fund II at €80 million. Prominent LPs include European family offices and the Swedish state-backed investor Saminvest.

Notable investments include Cler - an air purification company, Renasens - a textile recycler, and Blykalla - a company engaged in energy innovation. The firms they work with often begin with a proven technology and industrial partnerships already established, ensuring low technology risk and scalability potential.
