Scale Leap Capital

Investment decisions are made by the three founders: Rolv-Erik Spilling, Andreas Solberg and Nicolai Bodd. The firm does not list a separate investment committee or external advisors on its public materials, indicating the founders retain direct control over capital allocation and portfolio-company engagement.

Scale Leap screens businesses through its partner network and dedicated teams in Oslo and Stockholm, tracking companies that have demonstrated a solid track record through their early phase. The website describes a deliberate follow-and-interact model — the founders rely on their historical ties from earlier vehicles Gvalueinvest, BoddCo and Stayer Invest to surface scale-up opportunities in the Nordic region.

The firm operates a single direct-investment fund, Scale Leap Capital 1, which backs companies directly with equity capital for rapid scale-ups. No fund-of-funds or LP commitments to external managers are disclosed; the model is built around hands-on, active board involvement in each portfolio company.

Scale Leap focuses on the scale-up phase — companies that have already achieved market fit and steady growth in their home market and are ready to expand internationally. The founders explicitly describe this as a move beyond the early-stage focus of their prior vehicles, positioning them in late venture and early growth.

No philanthropic foundation or separate charitable vehicle has been publicly disclosed. The firm’s sustainability commitment is instead embedded in its investment process through an ESG Investment and Risk Policy and Article 8 classification under SFDR for Scale Leap Capital 1.

The firm has not publicly described a co-investment program. Its website and operating history suggest a concentrated direct-investment approach where the three founders work hands-on with portfolio management teams, with no mention of co-investment rights offered to or taken alongside external general partners.

The firm publicly targets B2B SaaS, marketplaces and technology-platform businesses. It has not published an explicit avoidance list, but its mandate excludes non-tech business models; its ESG policy notes that its target companies generally have few negative societal consequences and that sustainability is used as a strategic tool for financial returns.
