Or find every investor that fitsNorthzone lists 121 checked portfolio companies on its own site and is named in 31 funding rounds, 7 of them as lead. Its most frequent entry is Series B, 31% of the companies with a known first round. Its largest themes are Fintech (19%), AI & Machine Learning (17%) and Enterprise Software (10%). It invests most often alongside Accel, Y Combinator and Seedcamp.
Counts come from funding rounds that name Northzone, complete from mid-2025: earlier rounds appear only when they were reported later. Round amounts and full round histories are on Fundup AI.
Round figures show recent activity, not Northzone's whole history. Rounds on record name 30 companies; its own site lists 121. Funding rounds are complete from mid-2025, so counts and the yearly trend undercount a firm that invested before then. The portfolio, themes and places come from its own site and are not affected.

Rates come from what VCinfo has observed since observation_start. Firms tend to remove companies that closed, so early rates understate reality. A company leaving a portfolio page does not mean it closed or exited. An unreachable site means our checks failed, nothing more.
