Hersir Ventures is a syndicate led by Oliver Rye.
A Hersir was the local commander who led warriors into new territory.
We do the same with investors.
Every startup is its own expedition. Every investment, its own crew.
I build syndicates around founders, deal by deal.
The best founders do not need more capital, they need the right people around them.
I start with who founders want at the captable, then assemble the syndicate accordingly.
This is not a fund, there are no management fees and I co-invest in every deal.
The focus is full alignment between founders, investors and syndicate-lead from first investment to exit.
Investors choose their battles. Founders choose their allies.
We do syndicated investments from €100-€500K+ in Pre-seed to Series A, mostly in the Nordics and Europe, but with the right Nordic/European ties we will invest anywhere.
We invest in exceptional founders that are building game changing VC-backable startups.
The syndicate network
Our network includes 150+ active founders, exited entrepreneurs, investors, executives, operators, specialists, and family offices who actively support portfolio companies through scaling, recruitment, partnerships, customer introductions, and future fundraising.
I welcome all likeminded investors to join the syndicate.
