Sparkmind.vc is the first Nordic venture capital firm focused exclusively on the learning and education sector, with three partners bringing ~50-80 years of combined experience across learning industry operations, fintech VC, and sector-focused fund formation. The €55m fund targets 20-25 companies across the full learning lifecycle from early childhood to corporate training, with typical first investments of €0.5-1.5m and capacity for up to €5m per company, positioning itself to lead rounds for high-conviction education bets rather than spreading thin across dozens of startups.
