ID8 Invests Strategic & Financial Capital in Early-Stage Companies
We bring a global network, decades of experience, and capital to startups.
Companies we Invest in
ID8 Invest provides strategic capital and financing to startups sharing our own DNA: FinTech; Crypto; & Gaming. These are areas we live and breathe, work in and play with.
We have deep insights from decades of our own lived experience, as well as a large global network. This is how we add value to our portfolio companies and their founders.
Our MD is Jeffrey Haas, a Copenhagen-based Canadian & British Angel Investor. As such, we focus on companies in our ‘home’ markets of Scandinavia, UK & Canada.
Our portfolio companies – held directly or via our MD – are from across a range of technology themes: Metaverse (TheFootballCompany & Valkyrie Industries); Esports (Fnatic); Gaming (Low6); Fiat/Crypto Payment Rails (Januar.com); DeFi Yield Generation (CoinChange.io); Personal Finance (Freetrade.io & GetChip & bnext); NanoTech (Graphene Composites); Consumer Tech (Nothing); GeoCoding (What3Words); Web3 Recruitment (TeamWay.io); Web3 Domains (UnstoppableDomains); Cryptocurrency exchanges & marketplaces (CoinSmart & Limewire); and NFTs (OnChain Studios (Cryptoys) & Niftify).
As well as equity funding, we also participate in token offerings for Web3 games (i.e. MonkeyLeague.io), and invest in select digital assets.
We have experienced two notable exits to-date. The first was when our friends at world-leading AI CRM specialists VAIX.ai sold their business to Sportradar in April 2022. The other was when Nutmeg.com sold to JP Morgan in June 2021.

If we believe in you as founders, if we love your idea, conviction, energy and market potential, we will help you along the way. That includes introducing you to VCs around the world, connecting you with potential partners and advisors, and being available for brainstorming over a meal, coffee or beer.
We know some incredible places to eat in Copenhagen! 🙂
