Senior Investment Manager
Norrsken Impact FundCheck size: Norrsken VC publicly states €1M–€10M early-stage and growth tickets. This is the firm's range; no source establishes a personal range or unilateral authority for Cecilia.
Cecilia applies investment-banking and growth-investing discipline to Norrsken's early-stage impact mandate. Her remit is high-potential UK and Irish startups whose core product tackles a large societal or planetary challenge and can scale into a venture-sized company; her prior BeyondNetZero and Ares experience adds a later-stage lens on capital needs and scaling risk.
Inferred from her remit and background: ambitious teams solving a large, urgent problem; a clear connection between adoption and impact; evidence that the business can absorb growth capital productively; thoughtful market and financing plans; and founders who can navigate both early product risk and later scaling complexity.
No personal pass list is public. Likely screens include impact that cannot be measured or is detached from revenue, small addressable markets, capital plans that do not match deployment needs, weak unit economics, and teams without a credible route from early proof to scaled operations.
Use investments@norrsken.vc and make the UK/Ireland relevance explicit. Present the hard problem, product wedge, impact metric, customer proof, market size and financing roadmap. Show how early-stage evidence de-risks a much larger outcome and explain the operational milestones that future growth capital will fund.
Evaluate whether seed-stage product and customer evidence can support later institutional growth, including capital intensity, unit economics and milestone sequencing.
Tie the impact metric directly to product usage or revenue so commercial growth reliably expands the desired outcome.
