About Investor

Natalie Kolbe is a Managing Partner at Norrsken22 focused on backing growth-stage African technology companies. Their firm focuses on growth-stage African technology companies across fintech, marketplaces, healthtech, software, and digitally enabled services. The Managing Partner role indicates meaningful involvement in sourcing, diligence, investment decisions, portfolio support, or firm strategy depending on seniority and mandate. Founders should consider this investor when the company's stage, sector, geography, and technical depth align with the investor's direct experience and the firm's established investment thesis. Their background can be especially useful around product-market fit, go-to-market planning, hiring, fundraising, strategic partnerships, and the milestones required for the next financing round. They may also provide access to domain experts, experienced operators, prospective customers, co-investors, and later-stage capital through the firm's network. For founders comparing investors, the strongest fit is where the investor's sector knowledge, decision-making authority, and operating or investing background match the specific challenges the company expects to face after the round.
