Espen Malmo is a Norwegian venture capitalist at Skyfall Ventures who was investing in blockchain and crypto earlier than most Nordic investors, with a focus on companies like Nansen.ai, bitcoin, and DeFi, and who now centers his public interest on deep tech areas like AI, robotics, climate, and cybersecurity. He's known for backing founders very early, screening around 1,000 companies a year with the help of AI, and speaking publicly about how to find great Nordic founders and build a venture fund, reflecting his focus on process and the growing strength of Norway's startup scene.

Skyfall Ventures is an early-stage fund that focuses on Nordic startups with a strong software component and usually looks for teams with at least one technical founder, and it has built its investor base with successful operators and founders from companies like OptoScale, Tise, Sky Mavis/Ronin, and Ardoq so portfolio companies get help from people with a real financial stake in their success. The fund reviews about 1,000 companies a year but only invests in 5–8, aims for each investment to have the potential to return 50 times its money, and points to a track record that includes ranking in the top 10% of global funds in its vintage years and early bets on companies like Oda, Otovo, Tise, and Nabobil.
