Our company

Founded in 2013, Stonehaven Ventures is a privately owned, multi-stage investment firm based in Oslo, Norway.

We invest in and partner with founding teams across Europe at an early stage, and support our portfolio companies from pre-seed to growth as investor, board member and advisor.

Our investment strategy is not based on predictions of the future. Rather, we prefer to work with analytical, adaptable people whom are eager to understand and respond to change quickly and repeatedly.

As the shockwaves that follow deep shifts in society ripple across industries, opportunities large and small emerge. Challenged by a novel business model, inefficiences previously percieved as unavoidable speedbumps in the status quo set the stage for rapid growth and outsized value creation. Digital platforms are the operating system on which new business models are deployed at breakneck speed.

We attempt to understand the world we live in today and invest in those companies that tap into existing trends with huge growth potential. More often than not, broad based transformation in society and the economy are matched with the emergence of massive  shifts in consumer behavior. We invest in and support those teams that demonstrate unique insight into their industry, and whom possess motivation to respond to these changes. 

Continuous adaptation through trial and error is the foundation of success at any stage in a business’ development. For Stonehaven this analytical humility, matched with a vision of positive change in the world is key to gaining our backing.
