NOON Ventures is a Copenhagen-based, early-stage investor established in 2020. We invest in proven transformative technologies with the potential to significantly impact environmental or climate challenges. Our aim is to become the preferred partner for green entrepreneurs, and we do so by limiting our investments to few companies and working day-to-day with each of them – a fundamentally different approach than traditional early-stage investors. We believe that it takes much more than capital for companies to succeed - commercial experience, execution power, access to the right talent, network, and partners to name a few. We typically engage ourselves in all aspects of the business and do real work together with the founders applying the experience of our team, investors, and specialist advisors across mission-critical disciplines from strategy to customer introductions, and financing activities. NOON Ventures aspires to be true co-developers of businesses alongside the entrepreneurs, and we dedicate the time required to build lasting businesses.
