60°N Investor Network
International investors. Nordic opportunity. Trusted relationships.
60°N is an invitation-only international network connecting active investors with the Nordic innovation economy and with one another.
Nordic connections. International capital. Trusted participation.
Created for active investors, allocators and investment decision-makers.

Why 60°N Investor Network
Strong investor relationships are built through trust.
Investors are often separated by geography, institution and investor type. Angels meet angels. VCs meet VCs. Family offices and LPs operate through their own private relationships.
60°N brings selected investors together around a shared interest in Nordic innovation, private capital and international relationships.
Nordic connections
Direct relationships with people connected to Nordic startups, growth companies, research-based innovation and private capital.
International relationships
Relevant connections between investors across markets, geographies and investment backgrounds.
60°N creates relationships and conversations. Every investment decision remains independent.
60°N
