Nordic Makers is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage technology companies.

Nordic Makers

Early stage companies need angels who invest on founder-friendly terms and advisors who have made the whole journey – from garages to exits and IPOs. We invest our children's money and our expertise and network to help entrepreneurs build great and enduring companies.

I’m excited to share that Lemonado has raised $1,4m pre-seed led by Christopher Albinsson at node.vc and with participation from Alexander Aghassipour, co-founder of Zendesk and partner at Nordic Makers, among others. 🎉🚀

Together with Daniel Angelhoff and Rikard Javelind, we founded Lemonado to give people the tools to solve their business problems, without having to involve developers. We know how frustrating inflexible software and repetitive tasks can be.

A big thank you to our early customers, Antler and early backers, who believed in Lemonado, even when our product was just starting out 🙏. It's amazing to see the creative solutions you've built. When the people who experience the problems are the ones building the solutions, the results are truly special. 🌟✨

Lemonado is free to try (https://lemonado.io/) and we love your input, just keep in mind that it is early 😅. Also, we're hiring, so if you are as excited as we are shoot a message! 📩
