We are a non-profit foundation built on the belief that entrepreneurship and technology can be forces for good.
We live in the best
of times
Human ingenuity has created a world of abundance.
Rapid advances in technology have made things possible that, just a few decades ago, we could not imagine in our wildest dreams.
There’s never been more of us. We’ve never had greater powers to shape our world than we do today.
We live in the worst
of times
Our obsession with growth is killing the substrate on which life depends. We are currently overshooting 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries. Species extinction rates are >x higher than the historical average.
An abundance of feel good distractions have led to an explosion of addiction, obesity and mental health problems. million people worldwide are suffering from depression.
We are building a global ecosystem that gives founders the knowledge, capital and network they need, to make sparande the planet their business.
Because if they win, we all win.

Investing in Africa is inherently transformational through employment generation, market-enabling solutions and the provision of accessible services. Norrsken22 is focused on investing in Africa exclusively, with a specific focus on sub-Saharan Africa.
Identifying impact targets upfront and building processes to assess social/environmental impact, Norrsken22 will establish impact KPIs at IC with targets set for each investment period.
Norrsken is deliberately focused on healthcare, education, financial services and market enablement. These are sectors at the confluence of economic growth, investable opportunity and positive impact on wider society.
Focusing on impact for underserved markets, particularly at the “bottom of the pyramid”. Norrsken22 will focus on partnering with companies who are improving access to services or products, or creating employment for low- and middle income earners.
