People Ventures

People Ventures is an operational venture capital firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark, that partners with early-stage founders across the Nordics. The firm focuses on pre-seed and seed investments, with some Series A involvement, primarily in technology-driven opportunities within digital health and enterprise software sectors. They emphasize a hands-on approach, providing not just capital but also operational clarity and go-to-market support to help companies scale faster.

Founded in 2016, People Ventures was established with the belief that the most successful companies are built when founders are surrounded by individuals who genuinely care and offer real presence, rather than just money or advice. The firm's philosophy centers on investing themselves alongside capital, working closely with founders to support their decisions and operations.

People Ventures has built a diverse portfolio of early-stage companies. Their investments include firms like Avido, which focuses on AI deployment in finance; Tiimo, a daily planning app for neurodivergent individuals; and Onomondo, providing connectivity for the physical world. Other notable portfolio companies span areas such as automated compliance (Klaay), legal research (Pandektes), digital onboarding (Uniify), inventory forecasting (Hakio), and employee wellbeing (Zoios).

The team at People Ventures comprises individuals dedicated to listening, challenging, and showing up when it matters most. Key team members include Jerrit Jungmann, Magnus Stagsted, Laura Bjerregaard, Jan Ankjær Jensen, Mathias Hansen, Anders Frederiksen, Claus Zibrandtsen, Martin Bjørn Madsen, and Dylan Bezonsky. They aim to be the kind of partners founders would want on their side, bringing structure and focus to help accelerate growth.
