Successful applicants will receive US$125,000 in equity funding and participate in an intensive eight-week “sprint” at Norrsken House, providing round-the-clock access to a tech-centric workspace. Tailored programmes and one-on-one sessions with industry mentors and experts will be provided to support participants in scaling their impact-driven businesses.
The programme culminates in Norrsken Investor Day, where participants will have the opportunity to pitch to a diverse audience of investors, potential partners, and clients. Beyond the programme’s conclusion, Norrsken remains committed to providing ongoing support as a platform for peer collaboration, feedback, and valuable connections with investors and partners.
Norrsken, founded in 2016 by Niklas Adalberth, supports entrepreneurs addressing global challenges. With Norrsken House in Stockholm hosting over 350 impact-driven entrepreneurs, Norrsken has expanded to Kigali, Rwanda, investing in East and Central Africa. It closed a $205 million African technology growth fund in November, showcasing dedication to the region’s startup ecosystem.
