At the seed stage, investors expect first paying customers, early revenue, signs of retention and a realistic go-to-market plan. If your startup meets these criteria and fits one of our focus verticals, N1 can be the investor you're looking for.

We're looking for founders who are building scalable businesses with strong early momentum. If you're looking for more than funding, NI could be the right partner to help you grow.

Founders usually find investors through warm introductions, accelerators, angel networks and direct outreach to early-stage funds. NI accepts direct pitches from European founders — submit yours through the "Pitch your startup" form, no introduction required.
