The venture playbook is changing.

AI is changing how companies build, scale, and compete. Smaller teams can achieve more. Traditional moats are being challenged. Investors are rethinking what makes a startup worth backing.

So what makes a company venture-backable today?

At Nordic VC Nights, we bring founders and investors together for candid conversations, live feedback, and meaningful connections.

For our November 2026 Edition at Epicenter Stockholm, we explore The New Rules of Venture, hear directly from active investors, and put their perspectives to the test with founders on stage.

Whether you're building, investing, or supporting the next generation of startups, we'd love to have you in the room.
