We build companies.
Every layer of the company, built with founders.
Amplitude Ventures is a venture studio based in Stavanger, Norway. We start companies with founders and do the work alongside them: the code, the sales engine, the raise and the systems behind it. Then we keep running the parts a young company can't staff yet.
Our thesis is simple: most early-stage companies don't fail because they can't raise or can't ship a product. They fail because they can't execute across everything else a company needs at the same time. We close that execution gap by building every layer with the founder.
With a distributed team across Europe, Africa and Asia, we cover engineering, design, marketing, sales, research and investor narrative in one place. Founders get what a whole company can do before they have to hire one.
Every engagement starts with due diligence we do together. We test the assumptions, map the competition and agree on what success looks like. Where the thesis and timing line up, we go further: we co-found, take equity and build the company as a co-owner.
