TRANSFORMING COMPANY BUILDERS INTO BRAND BUILDERS

Bust is an early-stage investor and brand builder. We deploy capital and creativity.

Favorable market economics, an innovative product, initial funding and a great team is not enough anymore. We believe the ability to build a sticky brand at an early stage has become the decisive competitive advantage of 2020's.

At Bust, we are uniquely positioned to help build the next generation of transformative businesses. By bringing capital and creativity together under one roof, we transform company builders into also becoming brand builders on their journey to market leadership.

OUR APPROACH

INVESTING EARLY

We prefer to invest in the Pre-Seed & Seed stage initially, in businesses that are post-product and ready to meet their audience.

GENUINELY LONG-TERM

We are not a fund, but a family-backed investment firm. Our evergreen capital means that we invest for as long as is necessary, sometimes from early stages to IPO and beyond.

OPPORTUNITY OVER SECTOR

We focus on technology enabled businesses and are extremely open-minded to propositions that are innovative and connect to an societal and cultural need.

LOCAL FOCUS

We focus on partnering with founders and companies based in the Nordics, while having the capital and expertise to help scale operations internationally.

DISRUPTING VC WITH CREATIVITY

Bust brings a unique active partnership element to early-stage investing. More than a regular venture fund, we work actively with our founders on building the brand within the business early on.
