Heartcore Capital
Venture Capital · Copenhagen, Denmark
Heartcore Capital is a Copenhagen-headquartered early-stage venture firm founded in 2007 as Sunstone Technology Ventures and rebranded to Heartcore in 2019 around a consumer-first thesis. Operating from Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris and London, it backs European founders from inception through Series A, deploying €250K–€6M as first institutional capital, and has become one of Europe's highest-ranked seed and Series A investors. Across five early-stage funds, two growth vehicles and a Web3 fund, Heartcore manages roughly €800M; Fund V closed at €170M in December 2024, signalling a broadening from pure consumer into AI and software infrastructure, climate tech and synthetic biology while retaining consumer and travel exposure. The firm's track record includes Tink (acquired by Visa for €1.8bn, 2022), Peakon (Workday, ~$700M, 2021), Trustpilot (LSE IPO, 2021), Boozt (Nasdaq Stockholm, 2017) and Kaia Health (Sword Health, 2026), with a portfolio spanning GetYourGuide, TravelPerk, Podimo, Natural Cycles and Vivino. The partnership is led by co-founders Jimmy Fussing Nielsen and Christian Lindegaard Jepsen alongside Max Niederhofer (Berlin) and Yacine Ghalim (Paris).
