Stockholm-based Spintop Ventures is expanding its footprint in Denmark with a new office in Copenhagen and the addition of Jasenko Hadzic as Principal. The firm, which has invested in Nordic early-stage startups for 15 years, focuses on software-driven companies with long-term sustainability impact. Hadzic, formerly at BackingMinds, has worked across SaaS, cybersecurity, and energy, and has also co-founded several Nordic startup initiatives. In his new role, he will work with Senior Advisor Mads Mikkelsen to increase Spintop’s involvement in the Danish startup ecosystem as the firm continues to grow its presence across the region.
Founded in 2009, Spintop Ventures has built a reputation as one of the Nordics’ leading seed-stage venture firms. With four funds under management, the firm has invested in software-driven technology companies across the region, often with a focus on businesses tackling sustainability, diversity, and economic development challenges. Over the years, Spintop has seen a number of portfolio companies acquired by major international players, including Cisco, Klarna, Zynga, Synopsys, and Bentley Systems, alongside several successful IPOs.
By establishing a local presence in Denmark, Spintop is aligning with its long-term strategy of deepening engagement with entrepreneurs and strengthening its deal flow across all Nordic markets.
“Jasenko brings a combined 10 years of experience within venture capital and scale-ups. He’s well-known in the Danish ecosystem and is passionate about pushing the Nordic’s forward – having formerly founded initiatives such as The Investor Series, CPHFTW, Angel Next and Nordic Startup Conference. His experience on the investment side and as a former co-founder of a fast-growing startup, will be a great compliment to the team and a value-add to our portfolio companies.”, says Sami Niemi, Partner of Spintop Ventures.
Hadzic joins Spintop after several years at BackingMinds, where he led investments in SaaS, cybersecurity, and energy. He also has a track record as a founder and ecosystem builder, having co-created initiatives such as The Investor Series, CPHFTW, Angel Next, and the Nordic Startup Conference. His dual experience as both a venture investor and startup co-founder is expected to complement Spintop’s hands-on, founder-focused investment approach.
Based in Copenhagen, Hadzic will collaborate closely with Spintop’s Senior Advisor Mads Mikkelsen to grow the firm’s reach in Denmark.
“I’m genuinely excited to join the team at Spintop Ventures, where a founder mentality and hands-on approach are at the core of how we support our portfolio companies. This is reflected in our track record, long-term value creation and on the investment team itself, where every member brings firsthand experience as either a founder, operator or executive. In VC, this combination is unique and I believe we’re well-position to be the best partner for the most ambitious teams in the region.” says Jasenko Hadzic, Principal of Spintop Ventures.
