The Nordics: A New Unicorn Factory? 🦄❄️ Did you know the Nordic region has one of the highest concentrations of unicorns per capita in the world? I didn’t just hear that. I felt it this week at the Nordic Innovation House. 👉 Magnus Bergman from Luminar Ventures shared how the Nordic Venture Performance Index (NVPI) is beating benchmarks 🏆🥇💪 But more importantly, he spotlighted a wave of startups that are quietly building the future. Yes, we all know the hits: Spotify, Klarna, ŌURA, and now Lovable. But the next generation? They’re building AI products rooted in real-world pain points. If you’ve ever joined one of my talks, you know where I stand: Vertical AI is where the real value lies. Not broad tools but targeted solutions that go deep into specific industries. Nordic founders are going deep into sectors and winning by solving hard, expensive, often unsexy problems. 🔹 Legora (formerly Leya) – transforming legal workflows 🔹 Tandem Health – medical notes that write themselves 🔹 Lightbringer – fixing patent ops 🔹 IPercept – cutting unplanned downtime in factories And beyond the slides, the real magic was in the room: Founders working on AI agents for healthcare, dual-use spacetech, and tools that rethink entire workflows from scratch. These founders aren’t obsessing over how to get better at prompting ChatGPT. They’re focused on something far more important: What do our users actually need? That’s the mindset. That’s the edge. Big thanks to Inger Gustafsson (Vinnova), Magnus Bergman, Thuong Tan, and many others for hosting and for building real bridges between Nordic investors, corporates, entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley.
