The Norrsken Foundation is a non-profit, non-partisan, and non-religious foundation founded by Niklas Adalberth, co-founder of Klarna. It operates as an impact ecosystem that connects entrepreneurs with capital, knowledge, and networks to build businesses addressing global challenges. The foundation runs hubs including Norrsken House in Stockholm, Sweden; Kigali, Rwanda; and Barcelona, Spain. Norrsken Foundation has been active in African fintech investments from March 2020 to October 2021, participating in four funding rounds totaling $6.3 million. It focused on seed stages for three investments and one venture round, targeting companies in South Africa, Nigeria, and Côte d'Ivoire. Backed startups include Stitch for enterprise payments in South Africa, Bamboo for US stock investing from Africa in Nigeria, and Djamo for mobile money management in Côte d'Ivoire. The foundation co-invested alongside notable players such as First Minute Capital, Village Global, and 500 Global, often with individuals like Tom Blomfield.
