About Dreamcraft Ventures

Dreamcraft Ventures is a Copenhagen-based venture capital firm founded in 2019 by Jesper Søgaard and Christian Kirk Rasmussen, both co-founders of Better Collective, the Nasdaq Stockholm-listed sports betting media group. The firm operates as an independent venture capital house and positions its team as hands-on venture engineers who pair institutional capital with operating experience. As of 2024, Dreamcraft manages two fund vehicles, with Fund II closing in June 2024 at €66 million anchored by Nordic institutional investor Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker alongside family offices and entrepreneur-limited partners. Total committed capital across both vintages places the firm in the €100 to €130 million range. The leadership team includes General Partner Carsten Salling and Managing Partner Daniel Mariussen, complemented by people-and-culture practitioner Nico Blier-Silvestri. Dreamcraft is registered with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority and had backed roughly 30 companies across two vintages by the end of 2024.

Investment thesis

Dreamcraft invests at pre-seed and Series A stages in tech-driven companies based in the Nordics and the DACH region, with selective expansion into other European geographies. Sector focus from Fund II covers four verticals: B2B SaaS, digital entertainment spanning gaming, esports and the creator economy, fintech, and decarbonisation. The firm typically leads or co-leads first-cheque rounds and reserves meaningful follow-on capacity through Series A. Initial cheques are calibrated to a €66 million fund deploying across approximately 16 platform companies, implying typical first cheques in the €1 to €3 million range with subsequent capital reserved for pro-rata participation. The limited partner base is concentrated in Nordic institutional capital supplemented by family offices and entrepreneur-investors drawn from the founders' Better Collective network. Value creation is delivered through what the firm calls venture engineering, combining active board engagement, founder coaching, go-to-market optimisation and senior recruitment support.
