Nysn\u00f8 invests in Startuplab Founders Fund V<\/h1>\n\n\n

Stavanger, February 3, 2025 – Nysn\u00f8 partners with Startuplab on climate technology and invests NOK 30 million in Startuplab Founders Fund V. Startuplab, Norway\u2019s most active early-stage investor, is now increasing its focus on climate and environmental investments driven by strong deal flow. In addition, Nysn\u00f8 and Startuplab are strengthening their collaboration to promote Norwegian early-stage climate technology companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startuplab is a pre-seed investor that has raised five funds and invested in over 180 companies since 2013. In addition to being an investor, Startuplab operates Norway\u2019s largest incubator, housing over 100 startups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startuplab has experienced significant growth in climate-related investment opportunities. With its fifth fund, approximately half of the investments will be directed toward climate, environment, and energy. To accelerate the growth of Norwegian climate technology companies, Nysn\u00f8 is investing NOK 30 million in the fund. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 We see this as an opportunity to invest in a leading incubator and accelerator with unique deal flow, a strong brand, and a refined, proven investment strategy that has historically delivered strong return<\/em>s, says Paal Rogdeberg, Investment Manager at Nysn\u00f8.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A broader climate collaboration<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nysn\u00f8 aims to support Norwegian climate tech startups in the pre-seed phase and create greater growth opportunities for these companies. Therefore, Nysn\u00f8 is expanding its collaboration with Startuplab by contributing to platforms where companies and investors can meet. As part of this, Nysn\u00f8 will co-host Startuplab\u2019s flagship conference, Climate Summit 2030, in October during Oslo Innovation Week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 Startuplab has systematically built a strong network for its companies and investors. We appreciate this effort and want to further strengthen it. We look forward to closer collaboration with Startuplab in the future<\/em>, Rogdeberg adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u2013 At Startuplab, we are thrilled to have a solid climate-focused fund investor like Nysn\u00f8 on board. For our companies, this means easier access to highly competent international climate funds in addition to Nysn\u00f8\u2019s expertise, network, and capital. It is a pleasure to collaborate with Nysn\u00f8 on key events like the 2030 Climate Summit, and we expect that together we will strengthen Norway\u2019s position as a global leader in climate tech. Nysn\u00f8\u2019s investment is also an acknowledgment we deeply appreciate,\u00a0<\/em>says Gisle \u00d8stereng, Head of Investments at Startuplab.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
