Venture Capital
CAN YOU GET THIS?
YOUR REAL ODDS
Specific acceptance rates are not published, but this is a competitive VC program embedding deeply with a small number of portfolio companies.
Because Launcher provides hands-on operational support rather than passive capital, it backs fewer companies than a typical fund — expect high selectivity. Rolling applications mean no single deadline bottleneck, but competition is ongoing.
WHAT IT TAKES
Review Norrsken Launcher's focus at norrskenlauncher.vc and confirm your venture fits pre-seed/seed and has a science or research foundation — 1–2 hours
Prepare a pitch covering your technology, market, team, and impact thesis — 1–2 weeks
Submit application via the Norrsken Launcher site — Under 1 hour
WORTH KNOWING
Norrsken Launcher explicitly 'embeds deeply' with founders — emphasizing your need for operational support alongside capital (not just money) is likely to resonate more than a pure fundraising pitch.
