Wave Ventures

Student-run venture fund backing young Nordic founders at the earliest stage

Wave Ventures cover

About Wave Ventures

Wave Ventures is a venture capital fund run by university students in the Nordics. It backs young founders very early, before most investors would, and it describes itself as the first student-run venture fund in the region.

What Wave Ventures offers

  • Early backing: investment in Gen Z founders at a formative stage.
  • Second fund: Wave II, which plans to back 25 to 30 teams.
  • Student leadership: management passes to new student teams regularly but gradually, so the fund continues.

Who it works with

The fund targets Nordic Gen Z founders with strong ambitions. Its first fund included Carbo Culture, which turns waste biomass into charcoal and other carbon products using a patented process. The firm also recruits university students interested in entrepreneurship and venture capital.

Key facts
