Dreamcraft Ventures launches €66 million fund for SaaS and fintech
Dreamcraft Adventures has closed its €66 million Fund II to invest in B2B software companies.
Its portfolio will have 3 main themes: B2B SaaS (e.g. Playable), Digital Entertainment (e.g. Hiber) and FinTech (e.g. Banking Circle, acquired by EQT). This focus doubles down on the verticals Dreamcraft has previously invested in.
Investments so far include:
- Reg.dev (Denmark) an open source application platform for Kubernetes
- Hakio (Denmark) an AI-based forecasting platform for the fashion industry
- We are learning (Norway) a SaaS platform that enables immersive learning content.
- Inceptron (Sweden) redesign IT infrastructure by building heterogeneous hardware accessibility while increasing efficiency and reducing costs
- Tilta (Germany) an integrated lending infrastructure for B2B e-commerce transactions
- Neoke (Netherlands) a digital identity hub that enables seamless travel experiences and lets travelers stay in control of their data
The limited partners of Dreamcraft’s new fund consist of institutional investors from the Nordic countries such as Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker, as well as family offices and well-connected entrepreneurs.
Dreamcraft follows a graduate-focused structure and supports its portfolio founders on critical operational topics from the first engagement. The company has already made several investments in Germany and will continue to build the bridge between the Nordic countries and Germany with the ambition of investing in wider Europe.
“We are pleased to have the continued support and trust of our LPs to bring our approach to investing and adding value – what we call venture engineering – from the Nordics to the European ecosystem.” said Carsten Salling, general partner at Dreamcraft Ventures. “We believe that venture capital is a craft, not an art, and we are excited to support the most ambitious founders across Europe with our structured and trusted investment approach.”
Managing partner Daniel Mariussen said: “It’s about being a reliable partner for founders. We firmly believe that early stage investing is a craft and that it means getting the job done. We work side by side with the founders to build successful initiatives and support them towards Serie A, even in the most concrete things. Founders can rely on us to get the missing pieces to build what is needed to move to the pre-seed and seed stages.”
