Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

Link Capital is most relevant for founders raising Pre-Seed, Seed, and Series A rounds in Climate/Cleantech, Energy, Mobility/Transportation, and Enterprise SaaS, especially across Europe, Nordics, and Norway, with public check-size signals around $110k to $5.5m.

Focus statement

Link Capital focuses on early-stage (pre-seed to A) investments across the Nordics and Europe in the energy transition and adjacent tech: electric vehicle value chain, clean energy, energy storage, mobility, smart energy solutions and software, typically investing €100,000 to €5M and often acting as lead investor with board seats.

Value Add

Deep, sector-focused mandate: a clear energy-transition specialization across multiple, related verticals (EV charging, solar, wind, storage, smart grid, mobility and software) — described on the site as investing in “electric vehicles, clean energy, energy storage, mobility, software and others.”
Early-stage anchor investor preference: they state a preference to be among the first professional investors and to invest from pre-seed to A (site: “We invest in pre-seed, seed- and A, with a preference for being one of your first investors in.”).
Hands-on, value-creation approach: emphasize active support and governance — “Lead Investor: Yes, often” and “Active Support and Board seats.”
Track record and scale within the space: >70 investments and multiple exits including five IPOs since 2016 (site claims more than 70 investments and five portfolio companies to IPO), demonstrating repeat experience building and exiting energy-transition companies.
Nordic / European network focus: a geographic emphasis on scale-ups within Europe (site: “We focus on scale-ups within Europe”), leveraging local market expertise and relationships.
Diverse leadership and programs: team-led funds with multiple female GPs (three of five GPs are women in Link III) and bespoke programs like Link Sprint and an internship program to source and develop talent and founders.
