@creandum @_fredrik @OsloIW @AntlerGlobal @espen_malmo ❤️

Event season 🌟 Here's @_fredrik at @OsloIW with Anne Solhaug Tutar @AntlerGlobal and @espen_malmo @skyfall_vc

Yesterday, we kicked off this year's @OsloIW with an @AntlerGlobal + @skyfall_vc + @creandum panel discussion labeled 'From Idea to Series A'. Great insights from @_fredrik, @espen_malmo, Anne Solhaug Tutar and Kristian Jul Røsjø 👏

But what is @DatabuttonHQ? Databutton is a low-code platform to build AI apps, that take care of the “must haves” (like hosting, compute and orchestration) so you can focus on the app's functionality. You also get AI assistance to code - build AI apps with the help of AI 👀

The Databutton founders @TrygveKarper, @v_ax and @martolini has also brought other strong investors onboard like @Global_Founders, @sondocapital, Arkwright x and @supercell founder @ipaananen💥

💥We're thrilled to announce that @skyfall_vc and @MakiVentures has co-led @DatabuttonHQ’s $5.1 million seed-round. Databutton let’s you “Build AI apps at the Speed of Thought”💥 tech.eu/2023/09/14/osl…

We’re thrilled to announce our investment in @deckmatch, a generative AI-powered co-pilot designed to handle inbound business opportunities. Think investment offers, job applications, or procurement proposals. Their initial focus area: Venture Capital 👀 techcrunch.com/2023/08/15/dec…

While we are pleased with our first fund's 4x return so far, we aim much higher. However, it's the realized returns that count, real money in the bank for our investors, so the final verdict is still some years down the road.

Over the weekend, @Finansavisen featured @skyfall_vc in an interview with our Managing Partner, @espen_malmo. The piece underscored our dedication to partnering with top-tier Nordic founders in areas such as AI, climate tech, and blockchain/web 3. finansavisen.no/teknologi/2023…
