The Norrsken Accelerator is the world’s leading accelerator for impact startups. Every year, we hand-pick 20 of the world’s most promising early-stage impact startups, sourced from thousands of applications. We invite them to an intense 8-week sprint at Norrsken House in Stockholm, Sweden, designed to scale their growth and impact world-wide.

We target pre-seed to early-seed startups that leverage technology for innovative solutions to new and old societal and environmental challenges. We are sector agnostic and work with startups in any area of impact. We’ll invest $125k in return for 7% of your company using a “post-money” simple agreement for future equity (the “YC Safe”) or equivalent. The accelerator program culminates in an Investor day, where we invite startups to pitch for 100+ investors and potential customers and partners.

During open application periods, you can apply for an average investment of $500K and design support. We’ll respond within 1-2 weeks with a status update if it makes sense to setup an intro meeting. We’re looking for early stage companies, Pre-seed to Series A, that use design to improve health, prosperity, and sustainability for all. Our average investment is $500K for 5% but we understand that may not make sense for every company. Depending on your traction and funding to date, we can adjust our investment terms. We recommend that you apply regardless of your stage, location and fundraising timeline.

After we invest, we have a kickoff meeting and then are available for monthly design help tailored to what you need throughout the next 12 months. We’re not an accelerator and we don’t have a curriculum you have to follow. Rather, we focus on the following types of collaborative work sessions when you need them most: hiring, design management, design advice, community, fundraising support.
