Speaking about fintech at Arctic15

Tomorrow I’m participating in the Future fintech transformations panel at Arctic15 in Helsinki.

Fintech is a strong and exciting sector in the Nordics with startup successes like Klarna, iZettle, Tink and Pleo and many, many more. This heritage I believe makes the Nordics a great place to build the next generation of fintech companies.

Alliance VC has invested in several fintech companies like Ark Kapital (data-driven lender), Two (buy now, pay later for B2B), Bits Technology (KYC/KYB orchestration layer), IndyKite (digital identity solutions/identity and access management), (Apexx (payment orchestration layer), and Aprila Bank.

We hope to continue to partner with Nordic founders building the best fintech companies going forward. If you are building something interesting, please contact me either digitally or at Arctic15!

Trying to be a true partner

There are many ways to invest in private companies. Early-stage venture capital is one way to do it (and the best way for a very specific type of companies). But even within early-stage venture capital there are different approaches. At Alliance VC we have our point of view on how it is best done. We believe a partner-centric approach is the best way both for founders and investors and have expanded our thoughts on how to approach being a true partner in this Medium post.
