Overview

The story goes back to 2019, when a global venture was set to feed Japan’s hunger for digital innovation. NordicNinja VC was established to operate locally to invest in the most promising technology companies and scale these internationally.

The largest Japanese VC in Europe backing companies tackling the world’s carbon footprint with a focus on climate tech, deeptech, and digital society.

From self-driving electric trucks to AI-driven identity verification; from brain scan analytics predicting Alzheimer’s to mixed reality headsets training astronauts for their Mars mission; from seamless urban mobility to end-to-end transparency of sensitive supply chains, NordicNinja is searching for #1 teams in the world who are based in Northern Europe and contributing to a more sustainable and digital society.

From its first €101 million Fund I launched in 2019, NordicNinja has made tens of investments, three of which have achieved unicorn status, with a handful showing similar potential.

The portfolio includes companies that transformed industries including Bolt, Einride, Veriff, Voi, Starship, to name only a few.

Half of the first fund’s investments are in mobility and transportation – an area with a massive carbon footprint, as well as inefficiency and poor user experience.
