About Goose Valley Ventures

Goose Valley Ventures AB (also branded GVV) is a Stockholm-headquartered independent Nordic venture capital firm specialising in FinTech. The firm operates from Sweden with a small operating team. The firm is led by founders Robin Egerot (Managing Partner, formerly of Open Payments, ReceiptHero and Rivr) and Peter Larsson (Senior Advisor and Investor with prior financial services investment experience). The name derives from Lapporten, a U-shaped Swedish mountain valley known in Northern Sami as Čuonjávággi or Goose Valley, symbolizing the firm Nordic identity. The firm runs three distinct investment programmes (Springboard, Momentum and Thrive) functioning as separate strategy vehicles rather than discrete sequential fund vintages. The Snow Fund is referenced as an active fundraising vehicle within this architecture, sized in the €5 million-plus range. Aggregate assets under management are not publicly disclosed in primary sources. Goose Valley Ventures was recognised in 2025 as a Nordic and Baltic FinTech Top Investor by the Sifted 100 Nordics and Benelux leaderboard.

Investment thesis

Goose Valley Ventures pursues an early-stage venture capital strategy structured across three differentiated programmes. Springboard targets pre-seed and seed-stage FinTech with ticket sizes up to €50,000 supporting companies at the idea, patent or prototype stage. Momentum extends into seed and Series A with ticket sizes up to €800,000 for companies generating early revenue. Thrive captures secondary equity and pre-IPO opportunities outside core venture capital strategies, providing private investors access to later-stage Nordic FinTech and tech holdings with no geographic restriction. Overall ticket sizes range from USD 100,000 to USD 1 million per investment across the three programmes. Sector focus is FinTech and impact-driven financial services innovation, with adjacencies into broader Nordic tech. Geographic scope concentrates on the Nordic-Baltic axis covering Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Estonia. The limited partner base comprises private investors, qualified family offices and selected institutional backers. Value creation rests on FinTech-specialist sector expertise, operational and fundraising support, and a proprietary AI-powered dealflow platform.
