Steering committee
Finance
The committee that closes the distance between Nordic blockchain founders and the capital that could back them.
Mission
To make the Nordics a place where a good blockchain company can raise money locally: a visible pipeline of fundable companies, an investor base that knows how to assess them, and a route from first pitch to term sheet that runs through NBA.

Read the draft charterWhat it works on
- The Nordic Blockchain Pitch Competition. Held at the Nordic Blockchain Conference – early-stage companies selected by open application, a jury of active investors, and prizes that matter.
- A year-round online programme. Recurring virtual pitch events feeding the annual competition, the next on 5 November 2026: four investors, short pitches, jury feedback and open discussion.
- Educating the capital side. Sessions for LPs and allocators on blockchain as an asset class, and VC-insights sessions on how investors actually assess these companies.
- Educating the founder side. A founders' roundtable where Nordic founders share real fundraising experience – valuations, terms, what closed and what did not.
- An investor network. A standing, maintained list of VCs and angels active in or open to the Nordics.
