Investor Details Founded: 2012
Gorilla Capital is a Nordic institutional super angel firm that focuses on investing in resilient, capital-efficient startups across Northern Europe. The firm emphasizes backing 'camel' startups—those that are ambitious yet resilient, aiming for sustainable growth rather than rapid, high-risk expansion. This approach allows them to support companies with clear paths to profitability and adaptability in diverse market conditions.
The firm's investment strategy is data-driven and disciplined, aiming to reduce risk through diversification across approximately 100 portfolio companies. This method enables more reliable projections regarding potential returns, offering investors greater predictability in the startup ecosystem. Gorilla Capital's hands-on mentorship model includes assistance with international expansion, subsequent funding rounds, and potential exit strategies, contributing to their above-average success rate.
Gorilla Capital has built a reputation for identifying resilient ventures across the Nordic region, particularly in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Estonia. Their portfolio reflects a commitment to supporting founders who demonstrate both ambition and resilience—qualities they consider essential for long-term success. By offering a 'rational alternative' to traditional startup financing, they appeal to entrepreneurs who seek partners aligned with building durable businesses rather than chasing rapid exits or unsustainable growth metrics.
