PSV is a venture house built to clear the path for founders who build companies that matter.
PSV Foundry, PSV Tech and PSV Hafnium operate independently, but are built on the same underlying way of thinking. Different mandates, same ambition: to help founders build companies that matter.
PSV was founded at DTU and shaped through decades of close collaboration with researchers, founders and the Danish innovation ecosystem. Our roots at DTU still define how we work today. We believe meaningful innovation takes time, proximity to knowledge and patient capital. That perspective guides how we support founders across all three units.
Together, we can punch above our weight.
The PSV legacy is our unfair advantage
From taking the startup journey with 450+ founders, we know startup life way beyond metrics and facts.
We operated as a state-funded tech investor for two decades, willing to take bets on founders before anyone else. Over the years this has given us a front-row seat to the Danish startup ecosystem.
More than 75% of the companies in our portfolio have gone on to raise follow-on funding. Today we see almost every new startup emerging from Denmark. With visibility into 98% of the market, we get an early read on where the ecosystem is heading next.
This is the legacy we have leveraged to build a venture house with the vision to multiply our impact beyond any individual fund or investment.
Across PSV Foundry, PSV Tech and PSV Hafnium, we work as one extended team. Beyond capital, we contribute experience, operational support and long-term partnership, tailored to each founder’s journey.
Our approach is shaped by years of building, testing and refining what founders actually need when building companies from first proof to global scale.
This is where our shared capabilities live — from brand & communication to legal, finance, people & culture and ESG & impact integration.
Not as a fixed program or playbook, but as a flexible way of working that adapts to different stages, technologies and ambitions.
