Greens invests in Nordic pre-seed startups with founders who are alumni of Nordic Unicorns. We’re over 50 Spotify alumni who’ve joined together to help the next generation of Nordic startups succeed. Most of us are still active operators at some of the quickest growing companies in the Nordics and across a full spectrum of disciplines. A big part of our motivation is to share hands-on experience, domain expertise, open our collective network of talent & early customers, and pay it forward. Ideally, we’re your first investor - joining you as an early partner together with friends & family while you’re still in stealth mode and based on personal recs from previous colleagues who we know.

We are a tech recruitment firm that empowers African tech talents for global success, offering international opportunities and a better quality of life. TalentUp Africa was founded in 2020 by Dr. Cecilia Varendh Mansson. In 2017, Cecilia decided to spend the summer researching skills challenges in West Africa. Insights from that summer laid the foundation for what is TUA today, a recruitment firm with the mission to empower youth in Africa, to give them a better quality of life, by connecting them with global tech companies that need to hire top tech talent.
