The founding cohort

Be early — and own the front of your cell.

We’re courting a first, dense Nordic cohort — founding investors, founding anchors, founding companies. Founding terms are compensation for being early, never a discount on a finished product.

Who we’re courting

Three founding places.

Founding investorsEmerging managers and micro-VCs raising a first fund. The full workflow on founding terms — that rate is yours to keep, and watching the market costs nothing.See the detail
Founding anchorsOne per cell and geography — the front of the line, 48–72 hours before the open market. Access, never the grade. An annual instance fee, never a success fee.See the detail
Founding companiesGrowth-OS graduates and cohort teams: graded on connected evidence, and seen by the capital that actually fits — for the price of a subscription, never a listing fee.See the detail

What founding means

Compensation for being early.

One founding anchor per cell and geography — enforced by a database constraint, not a promise. Be early, and if your cell fires, you own the front of it.

Every founding term is set with the cohort itself — rendered here, honestly, as “founding terms, by enquiry.”

  • Founding-anchor scarcity terms — one anchor per cell (a sector × stage segment) and geography.
  • Founding pricing, held for as long as you stay.
  • The §6-53 angel deduction, surfaced and prepared for you — the conditions are the Tax Act’s, not ours.
  • White-glove onboarding — we set it up with you, personally.
  • High-signal curation: we would rather have ten right than a hundred loud.

Honest status

No investor courted, no anchor signed — yet.

This is the invitation, not a report of a pipeline that exists. The founding terms exist precisely because the loop is unproven — you’d be helping prove it, and we think that is worth being paid for in terms, access and permanence.

Scarcity here is structural, not a tactic. One anchor per cell and geography is a database constraint. When a cell is taken, it is taken.
