Notable Investments
Scale Capital is a Copenhagen/Silicon Valley-based fund that specifically invests in early-stage Nordic and German B2B and deeptech startups with the explicit requirement to enter and win in the US market rather than being broadly global. The fund positions itself as company builders providing hands-on operational support during US market entry and scaling crises, while founding partner Lars Jensen serves as a Denmark-US bridge helping Nordic startups navigate US capital markets and avoid selling their crown jewels too early to US buyers.
