3 VCs and 0 funds investing in European Technology
Partner & Head of Platform
Northzone (Web3)
Check: No Elena-specific check size or allocation authority is public. Northzone's fund-level parameters must not be presented as her personal discretion. Founders seeking capital should approach the relevant investing partner; portfolio leaders and pre-deal teams can engage Elena on talent, organization and leadership needs.
Elena's platform thesis is that talent and portfolio development are continuous with investment quality: assess critical hiring and organizational needs before a deal, then help founders build teams and leadership systems through growth. She looks beyond conventional credentials for potential and studies the psychology and behavior that shape leadership and performance. Her recent published work treats forward-deployed engineering as a product-discovery function only when complexity and customer edge cases justify it, with success measured by product learning and improving leverage rather than individual services revenue.
Founding General Partner
Norrsken VC
Check: Norrsken VC currently states €1M–€10M early-stage and growth tickets. This is the firm's range, not Tove's personal promise. Confirm initial ticket, follow-on reserves, ownership and stage with the team.
Tove backs ambitious European technology companies whose commercial growth directly improves outcomes for people or planet. Her Bain private-equity background and early impact roles add rigorous market and diligence discipline. Current health-AI work highlights companies that combine deep sector expertise, proprietary data and measurable time or cost improvements in critical systems such as clinical trials.
Senior Principal
Big Pi Ventures
Check: Growth-fund level: Big Pi Growth I states that it leads with €7M–€20M+ per company. Big Pi's overall platform spans €0.5M–€30M across funds. Neither range is published as Fanis's personal allocation authority.
Fanis supports European technology scale-ups moving toward market leadership with growth capital plus operational and financial expertise. His background in TMT investment banking and as FlexCar's finance leader supports a value-creation lens centered on financing structure, valuation, capital efficiency, international expansion, organic growth, and selective M&A rather than capital alone.
