Failup Ventures is a new globally operating early-stage venture capital fund. Founded by three previous Finnish entrepreneurs and angel investora – Failup Ventures backs early-stage startups with strong, mission-driven teams. Failup’s typical initial investments range from 200K€ to 1M€ with the capability to follow up with larger tickets.
Failup Ventures sets itself apart from other funds in the Nordic region through its strong footing in the United States. With extensive networks, international deal flow, and access to top cases both locally and across the pond, the team is uniquely positioned to identify and support promising startups both in the Nordics and in the US. This global perspective, including rare access to US-based startups, has attracted interest and commitments from a diverse group of fund investors, many of whom are entrepreneurs themselves.
Failup Ventures prioritizes empathy towards founders as one of its core values. The fund’s approach is sector-agnostic but focuses on investing in mission-driven founders who have a positive impact on society, work, health, or the environment. By offering peer support, strategic guidance, and access to networks in Finland, Europe, and the US, Failup Ventures is uniquely equipped to support startups in their global growth journeys.
