Scale Capital

Scale Capital is a Copenhagen-based venture investment firm backing early-stage European technology companies, especially Nordic B2B businesses. Its strategy spans enterprise software, AI and computing infrastructure, industrial robotics, energy and climate technology, and defence/security, with a focus on helping European companies grow internationally while retaining their technology and ownership in Europe. It combines investment staff with venture partners in US and European technology hubs. The firm’s current team biography dates its founding to2012. Its own FundIII key-information document names the legal manager Scale Capital Management ApS and the Danish regulator registration FT23177; earlier materials name SC Management ApS for older funds, which are separate legal entities rather than interchangeable fund IDs. Its EUR12m Six Robotics seed-round participation is explicitly confirmed by the company and its own portfolio page. Own2026 newsletter attributes the Six investment to FundIII. FundIII’s launch/close occurred before the requested October2023 window; no new in-window fund close is proved.

Funds2

  • Scale Capital Fund IV—

    Announced development of Scale Capital’s fourth fund, publicly discussed in the manager’s July15,2026 newsletter. The planned strategy focuses on European critical technologies including deep technology, defence and AI, with institutional investors expected to have a larger role. The source says the firm is building FundIV, rather than reporting a first or final close. No committed capital, target, first-sale or exact legal form is established in this primary release. A secondary Danish registry index identifies a similarly named FundIVK/S formed inAugust2026, but that incorporation date and suffix are not substituted for the primary public announcement or treated as capital raised. No current Six Robotics investment is allocated to FundIV; the firm expressly attributes it to FundIII.

  • Scale Capital Fund III K/SDKK 400M

    Historical third Scale Capital venture fund, legally named Scale Capital FundIII K/S in its own March6,2023 PRIIP key-information document. Scale’s own company announcement, reposted by managing partner Lars Jensen on August9,2023, states the new Nordic B2B fund closed at DKK400m, also described as$60m. DKK400m is the primary explicitly denominated amount; the dollar equivalent is not added as separate capital. The exact legal close day is undisclosed, so August9 is the public announcement date. This announcement precedes the requested October6,2023 window and is retained as historical context for the manager’s explicitly FundIII-attributed Six Robotics investment. The July2026 newsletter describes sharpening the existing fund around European critical infrastructure, deeptech,defence and AI. The separate FundIII VSO A/S product is not merged with this K/S or assigned its corpus without proof.
