Our story

Norselab has roots back to 2015 when serial tech entrepreneur Yngve Tvedt launched a venture studio focusing on a co-founding model for meaningful technology companies. With a handful of fellow investment professionals, he successfully invested in- and built a dozen technology companies.

From 2018 onward, Yngve Tvedt started reflecting on how to scale the business further and expand opportunities for impact. He then joined forces with Erik Syvertsen, bringing more than two decades of governance experience in international asset management, and Maria de Perlinghi, a seasoned executive with experience across sustainability and communications. Together with the team, they set out to become part of a new breed of asset managers that are purpose-built for impact investing.

In 2020, the new Norselab emerged. Having invested heavily in building a governance rig suitable for institutional investors and structuring the impact philosophy and framework, the team launched its first growth equity fund on the platform in mid-2020.

The model soon attracted the interest of Capricorn Investment Group and its Sustainable Investors Fund, which supports a new generation of impact-oriented investment management companies. Capricorn invested in Norselab's platform in 2021, providing backing and capital to further build the business.

Since then, Norselab has expanded its offering to credit, with the launch of a Nordic high-yield fund in late 2022, as well as a thematic high-yield credit fund at the end of 2023. Read more about our strategies here.

The team is currently exploring potential new initiatives both in private and public markets. Through partnerships with outstanding investment teams that want to prove that high returns and meaningful impact can go hand in hand, Norselab works relentlessly to offer a range of commercially attractive impact products across asset classes.
