Interaction with Mr.Simon Morgan, was friendly and direct, and as a friend once told me, no is the second best answer, so with that in mind, REV Group will continue to present its portfolio to folks and groups, who are themselves, seeking to flow like golden honey.

I did not get the investment, but they are helpfull.
My experience was brief due to not qualifying, but they went above and beyond and steered me down another path that I believe will be very helpful!

Kjöller gave us a thoughtful and professional response. Although they decided not to proceed at this stage, they explained the reasons and took the time to provide relevant investor and partnership suggestions for our renewable-energy project. The feedback was constructive, respectful, and genuinely helpful for our next steps. We appreciate the transparency and encouragement.
Very quick, accurate, to the point. Not a difficult conversation at all. The online questionnaire was very suited to the early revenue stage we are at. Recommend to others to submit and see if it works.
My experience with Kjøller was professional and straightforward. Although SAFAN LLC was not a match for their investment criteria at its current early stage, their team reviewed my application and provided feedback and suggestions on potential funding opportunities to explore.
I appreciate the time taken to consider my project and share guidance that may help me as I continue developing SAFAN.
I honestly appreciate the swift response time and detailed analysis of our financials. Even though our request was turned down, Kjoller offered alternatives.

I’m a founder from Mauritius!! I approached kjoller to check if any investors would be interested in my projects., but their response was terrific and the assistance they provided me by sending contacts and also giving me free access to KPI Softwear, it was all great!! I wish kjoller a very good luck for their future!!!!
We approached Kjøller for Elyvato’s seed round and found the process quick, transparent and professional. The team asked sharp questions, understood our business well. While their investment structure wasn’t the right fit for us at this stage, they closed the conversation respectfully and even shared useful investor leads for our raise. I’d recommend founders engage with them.
indeed this company— Kjølleris the fastest, precise and so ethical in their attendance and addressing of founders/ applicants issues in a way when you're a no match to them they at least refer to top 10 funders which suit you/ your startup stage
Being a founder is one of the toughest challenges in the world. I was shocked that KJOLLER was able to review my application within hours and even though it was a pass they were able to add a personal touch, value and humanity to the decision. They, in my opinion have set a very high bar.
I enjoyed the application process from start to finish, communication was clear, timely and useful. I was especially impressed by response time , and appropriate feedback that included recommendations, which I found very useful

I have never experienced such organisations do exist to help and support other businesses. Many thanks and very much appreciate the opportunity to experience your time and effort through this medium of communication. Cheers!
At first when I reached out to your company, I did with some doubt in my mind but much to my surprise, you responded. You took up my request with so much interest, responding to me with such persistence. I am still amazed. You followed up intentionally with so much guidance, even when I wasn't responding at some point, you were patient with me. Thank you so much. In the end, despite the fact that my request didn't fall through, you still shared some other links that could be beneficial to my company's request, thank you. Please keep up the good work.

I had a really good experience with Kjoller. They responded within 24 hours, just as they promised, which I appreciated. Their feedback was detailed and helpful. Although they don't invest in startups at my current stage, they didn't just leave me hanging. They actually gave me a list of potential investors I could reach out to, which I thought was really thoughtful. I appreciate that they took the time to review my startup and point me in the right direction.

????? 5-Star Review – Excellent Professional Investment Advisory Services My Experience Working with Kjoller Company
As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Manikongo Engineering Contractor SARL (MEC), based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, I am pleased to share my positive experience working with Kjoller Company.
I sincerely appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and valuable guidance provided by the Kjoller team.
Throughout our engagement, they have demonstrated a strong understanding of investment opportunities and have advised me on how to approach potential international investors, prepare for investment discussions, and present our infrastructure and energy projects more effectively.
What impressed me most was their willingness to guide us toward other international investment companies interested in exploring business opportunities in Africa.
Their advice and professional support have been valuable to our company's international investment outreach.
I am pleased to recommend Kjoller Company to African businesses, project developers, entrepreneurs, and companies seeking professional guidance in identifying and approaching potential investment partners.
As a demonstration of our appreciation and confidence in their services, we also intend to feature and link Kjoller Company on our official MEC website.

My experience with Kjøller was a valuable learning opportunity for REJOICE HOME DECORATION.
Although our application was not successful, the process provided useful insights into investor expectations, business readiness, and the importance of building a scalable business model.
I appreciate the opportunity to present our business and the feedback received. I believe constructive engagement between investors and early-stage founders plays an important role in developing sustainable businesses.
I look forward to continuing to grow REJOICE HOME DECORATION and exploring future investment opportunities.
I had a positive experience in terms of instant response. The advisor provided me with information regarding the platforms and companies that are supposed to fit best with my requirements and the current stage of the project.
When I applied for funding for my startup AgricTrail.Africa, I was not funded because i didn't meet the funding criteria. what i appreciate the most was the prompt (less than 24 hours) response with meaningful advise and beneficial references. Thank you Kjoller.
As the team behind Talabxy, we appreciate Kjøller's efforts to support startups and empower founders to turn their ideas into growing businesses.
Initiatives like Kjøller's provide valuable opportunities for startups like Talabxy to gain visibility, showcase their solutions, and connect with potential investors and partners.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback you provided. I believe that building meaningful connections and partnerships is essential for creating opportunities.
My experience with Kjøller was professional and positive.
I submitted an investment application for AglanSuite, my digital archaeology and cultural heritage software initiative. Although Kjøller decided not to invest at this stage, I appreciated their clear communication, constructive feedback, and respectful approach.
Their investment manager explained the reasons behind the decision, particularly the need to demonstrate paying customers and validate commercial demand.
I also appreciated the recommendations of alternative investors and funding opportunities.
Overall, the application process was straightforward, and the feedback was useful for identifying the next steps in developing my business.
Thank you to the Kjøller team for their time and consideration.
My experience with Kjøller has been positive and encouraging. Although CABAX ENERGY LTD is still at the pre-revenue stage, Kjøller provided an honest and constructive review of our business and helped us identify other potential investors to explore.
I appreciate your transparency, valuable feedback, and willingness to guide us toward alternative opportunities. We hope to build on this relationship and explore a potential partnership with Kjøller in the future.
Thank you, Kjøller, for your support and encouragement.

First of all I would like to appreciate the kind responses of kjoller, the name is tough to pronounce it, second is caring, I found your information on LinkedIn, predict this this is the best person/ institution to work with you. Ikemefuna green club limited an agribusiness company is seeking project funding range $500000 to 1000000 USD
It was a pleasure working with Kjoller. Although we weren’t selected for their program, I’d like to share how impressive their process was: transparent, honest, and genuinely supportive. The feedback and the lead they shared with us after the review were especially valuable. We strongly recommend Kjoller to any startup

At first, honestly, I didn''t take any of this seriously. So I filled out all the forms, thinking I had nothing to lose. Then, when I got the response the very next day, I realized it was really serious and wondered where I could have explained myself better... Thank you to the whole team, and good luck to everyone who discovers you in the future…

No delay response, pretty straight forward. But I think there should be deep thinking analysis decision when reviewing applications. Using AI Agent only processing submission without no human verification on each layers is kinda not appropriate.

Kjøller communicated clearly, professionally, and respectfully throughout the application process. As the founder of NutriFlex AI, I appreciated their transparency, timely feedback, and support for founders navigating fundraising.
Although our company was not an investment match at this stage, I valued their consideration and the resources they provided, including continued access to our submitted application to help prepare for future investor opportunities.
A positive experience with a team that treats founders with courtesy and respect.

Disclosure: Kjøller offered a website backlink in exchange for submitting a review. This review reflects my own experience.
I approached Kjøller on behalf of a client seeking financing for an African logistics opportunity. Their assessment process was structured, responsive and transparent. Although the proposed investment structure was not suitable for the client, the team communicated its position clearly and professionally, allowing us to reach a decision efficiently.

My experience using the Kjøller platform to complete the various forms and queries was an opportunity to explore the process of presenting my proposed business plan and seeking potential investment. The process helped me reflect on my business objectives and the information required to communicate my investment proposition. I would appreciate further guidance on the next steps, the evaluation process, and the possibility of connecting with suitable investors for my proposed SmartX Facility Services venture. Overall, I look forward to understanding how Kjøller can support entrepreneurs in converting promising business ideas into viable investment opportunities. Regarads, Oswin Issac, Director, DroneX Facility Services
I found the application process user friendly and quite interactive. Kjoller is not just interested in a business for its numbers, but also tries to find out the value-propsition a company has to offer and the story behind the Comapny. Their selection team is kind and offers assistance and guidance within the application process and beyond the application. I look forward to future opportunities with Kjoller. Purely an AMAZING experience!
Kjøller Venture is indeed awesome. I pitched and even though they couldn't invest in our startup “Mustard Biopharma” at this time (as it's too early), they still gave us awesome feedback and even suggested other ventures we could reach out to. That's rare. In a nutshell, Kjøller is very transparent and moves fast.
I am very happy to communicate with them. they are very cordial and professional.

Ronald Natyetye
The team is knowledgeable in supporting applicants. I got extra guidance on additional fundraising strategies and available alternative sources for my start up. Thanks to the team.
The submission process was smooth and highly professional. Even though our investment models didn't align this time, I appreciate their clear communication and structured approach to evaluating businesses.
I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this experience genuinely deserves one.
I reached out to Kjoller.com hoping for some guidance, and what I received went far beyond anything I had expected.
They took the time to listen, understand what I was trying to achieve, and point me toward valuable resources, contacts, and possible solutions that I would probably never have discovered on my own.
I am truly grateful for their kindness, and time.
Thank you sincerely. I hope our paths cross again someday, and, in the event of success, I will gladly invite you in Luxembourg!
Their communication is clear, prompt, and professional throughout. We appreciate their structured approach and dedication to supporting start-ups. We appreciate the opportunity to share our case with you and wish you all the best.
The application process clear, simple and concise. Kjøller took real time to respond, without leaving us 'hanging', a warm, specific rejection, seven relevant investor leads (cybersecurity-focused), and a free tool suggestion. That's far more than most passes, and it signals Kjøller are worth staying connected to. The "pre-revenue, doesn't fit our scope" reason is also honest and useful.

My experience with Kjøller was professional and informative. Although my previous application was not successful, I appreciated the feedback and recommendations provided.

Quite simple and easy to navigate through. Highly recommended
Although we weren’t the right fit for their investment stage, the team responded with kindness and thoughtful recommendations for earlier-stage firms that might be a better match. I genuinely appreciated their time, transparency, and willingness to help—even when they weren’t investing. A very positive experience.
Even though our current stage didn't match their exact investment thesis, the Kjøller team went above and beyond. Instead of a standard automated rejection, they provided exceptionally detailed feedback and curated a customized list of relevant African VC resources to support our campus hub build-out. Highly professional team.
The team was highly receptive and demonstrated a genuine willingness to engage with us. Their response time was excellent, and they showed a keen interest in understanding our business model, our financing needs, and exploring a suitable financing arrangement tailored to our business requirements.

Bob SamManaging Director Solbisons Investment Limited
Your organization really helped my company out to point out to the organizations that has pontential to invest in my company's operations which is very helpful and appreciated
I was impressed by how quickly and expertly the Kjoller team responded, providing thoughtful criticism even when it wasn't a good fit. They make an effort to be courteous and avoid damaging relationships.
I will always recommend Kjoller because my experience with the application process was top notch. No jargon and everything went smoothly. I have already put this platform link to my LinkedIn profile for anyone to explore. I will reapply when my company starts generating revenue . Their customers is so fast that my application was reviewed and replied by them under an hour.

I had asked kjoller.com for a finance/invest for our two construction projects. We didnt received invest but Kjoller gave us good consultation on this way. Thanks Kjoller team.
I appreciated the opportunity to present FMTech to Kjøller and the clear, constructive feedback we received. Although FMTech was not a fit for their investment criteria at this stage, the feedback helped us better understand what we need to demonstrate as we move forward, particularly in converting municipal validation into paying customers and building a repeatable path to revenue.
I value their direct communication and the time taken to review our case. I would recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a straightforward assessment of their startup’s fit with an investment thesis.
As an entrepreneur we have many problems that we have to deal with either supply, logistics, marketing and especially funding. These people helped me a lot in the last one
Once I submitted the required information and data when applying for funding, I did not expect any further meaningful engagement with Kjøller. From past experience, outcomes would range from no response to a brief statement of regret urging us to try next time. Kjøller did not only follow up immediately with a reminder to submit outstanding information but patiently guided us at a granular level on what and how to submit. The response was instant with clear explanations on why we did not meet the criterial and recommended generous list of potential investors. This gesture gave us a lot of hope to keep trying. We felt like real partners already. Thank you very Much Kjøller.
Thank you for providing the links to potential financiers. We appreciate your support and guidance. However, we were informed that the VASKO project is very large in scale and that some financiers may find it difficult to fully understand or evaluate the entire project at this stage.
We would appreciate your guidance in connecting us with suitable investors or financial institutions that have the capacity and experience to evaluate large-scale industrial and green hydrogen projects. We are ready to provide a structured project report, financial projections, technical details, and a phased implementation plan to make the project easier to assess.
We look forward to your continued support in identifying the right financing partners for VASKO.
Although we were not the right fit for the investor, we appreciated their prompt responses, insightful feedback, and valuable suggestions for alternative investment opportunities.
KJOLLER has been an inspirational source of clarity for us - especially after reading the founders book that gave us a mirror to see what we would look like to others.

Kjoller team gave me a very helpful adverse and positive feedback that my business needs. I was also given some helpful resources and recommendations which I am presently implementing. I really the work they do .
Although we were not a match for funding on this project, the representative I worked with was very forward with communication, was very honest so my expectations were not ahead of myself and gave very insightful insight on where I could strengthen my ask. Never did they lead me into thinking anything that was untrue and were very forthcoming. Transparency was key and even though we did not reach a funding deal, I walked away with great information and was always treated very professionally. If you have a year or two of established business and are looking for funding, i would certainly suggest talking to them

I submitted our case, Langues Des Champions Limited, to Kjøller and found the initial communication clear, professional and respectful. The team was transparent about their investment framework and the questions they asked were thoughtful and commercially sharp, the team clearly took time to understand our model before deciding. Unfortunately, the outcome was not a match. My one suggestion for improvement would be to include at least a short virtual meeting or call. This does not need to happen at the very start, it can come after discussions have begun, even through a customer service. A 20-minute conversation gives a clearer picture of who you are working with and makes the process feel more human. That said, I appreciated the directness and the feedback. I would still recommend Kjøller to founders who fit their mandate.

Extremely fast response time, amazing communication.
I applied to Kjøller for investment for my startup, CUTNOW. Although my application was not a match at our current stage, the team provided clear feedback and suggested other investors and programs that may be relevant to us. I appreciated the straightforward communication and the practical recommendations. I plan to continue developing CUTNOW and revisit fundraising opportunities as we make progress toward launch and revenue.
My experience with Kjøller was straightforward and professional. I submitted Silicon Shaman Innovations Ltd. for investment consideration, and although our company was not selected, I appreciate the communication and the opportunity to present our business.
As an early-stage founder building SSI DATA, a platform focused on human-powered data collection, quality assurance, and verified datasets, I understand that not every startup will be the right fit for every investor.
I appreciate Kjøller’s effort to engage with founders and its willingness to receive feedback. I hope to see the platform continue creating opportunities for startups and investors to connect with the right partners.
Thank you for considering Silicon Shaman Innovations Ltd.
I recently submitted VXM to Kjøller and had a very positive experience throughout the process. The team was professional, responsive and thoughtful in evaluating the opportunity. Although VXM is currently pre-revenue and the investment was not pursued at this stage, the feedback was constructive and focused on exactly what an early-stage founder needs to prove repeatable commercial traction. I especially appreciated the transparency and practical guidance throughout the process.
I approached Kjøller for project financing. Although we did not reach an agreement, the team left a very positive impression with their responsiveness, clarity and commitment to building long-term relationships. Thank you for your professionalism!

All good but terms and conditions can be little bit more flexible
Very professional, efficient and transparent investment process. Although Kjøller ultimately decided not to invest in Prolink at our current stage, the application was reviewed carefully and the communication was fast, direct and constructive. I particularly appreciated receiving a clear explanation of their decision and useful insight into the criteria they consider when evaluating an investment. A very positive experience and a professional approach from beginning to end.
Though I don’t know the evaluation parameters or how one gets evaluated the process was swift and the decision was informed within a short span of time. I appreciate this and having got an opportunity to present our innovation. Thank you

While they turned us down, Kjoller was the most helpful of the firms we applied to for funding. They got back to us quickly (rather than ghosting us) and offered us several useful other organizations to apply to.
My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. The team was prompt, approachable and professional, providing clear responses and communicating their decision respectfully. I particularly appreciated their directness and the fact that I was not left waiting or uncertain about the outcome.
Although they decided not to proceed with my proposal, I valued the constructive feedback and courtesy throughout our discussions. Their communication left me with a strong impression of a focused and disciplined investment team.
I would welcome the opportunity to explore a suitable project together in the future. Thank you to everyone involved for your time, consideration and professionalism.
The KJOLLER website is fully functional, and the Apply for Investment Tab led to a good application process. The group rapidly replied with a response to our application.
The only thing that I suggest is to allow applying companies the ability to upload their Non-confidential presentations.

Great experience with the Kjoller team. Their feedback on our pitch was practical and insightful, and the investor list they shared gave us a clearer direction for fundraising. I truly appreciate the support and would be glad to stay connected for future mentorship, investor introductions, or incubation opportunities.
Friendly, fast, and engaged. Unfortunately, not prepared for ideas; the business must be up and running. When it is, I will be back!

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Kjoller Investment Facilitators Services for the interest, engagement, and valuable efforts extended towards exploring a potential strategic partnership with S.S. Chemicals & Coatings Pakistan.
We particularly appreciate Kjoller’s interest in supporting the proposed investment initiative of approximately US$1 million, aimed at developing and expanding an integrated business platform in Pakistan covering paints and coatings, professional painting services, advanced painting technologies, equipment, technical solutions, research & development, and related industrial applications.
We regard this proposed cooperation not merely as a financial investment, but as an opportunity to establish a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnership capable of creating sustainable commercial value, introducing improved technologies and professional standards, developing local capabilities, and strengthening Pakistan’s paints, coatings and painting-services ecosystem.
The interest demonstrated by Kjoller in reviewing the feasibility, commercial potential, operational requirements, and future expansion possibilities of the project is highly appreciated. Such constructive engagement reflects a professional and responsible approach towards understanding the business opportunity before moving towards investment and implementation.
On behalf of S.S. Chemicals & Coatings Pakistan / Fresh Coat, we sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the time, attention, and efforts invested by your organization in considering this initiative. We remain committed to maintaining transparency, professional ethics, responsible business practices, and clear communication throughout the feasibility, due-diligence, partnership, and investment process.
We sincerely hope that our ongoing discussions will progress towards a formal partnership and investment arrangement at the earliest mutually suitable opportunity. We look forward to receiving the continued support, guidance, and investment participation of Kjoller Investment Facilitators Services in taking this promising initiative forward.
We strongly believe that, with the right strategic partnership, professional expertise, technology, and investment support, this project can develop into a sustainable and scalable Pakistani business platform, creating significant opportunities for employment, technical development, market expansion, innovation, and long-term commercial returns.
With sincere appreciation and optimism for a successful, transparent, ethical, and mutually beneficial partnership, we look forward to welcoming Kjoller’s continued support and, hopefully, its forthcoming investment in this promising initiative.
Great experience, we both worked hard to get the deal done, the business was just probably 3/6 months too far down the line for the structure to fit us personally. By Kjoller worked hard too, communication was thorough as it should be, emails were often, negotiations were productive. I think we both wanted it to work but we both had 1/2 things that didn't align other than that for a founder who’s been fortunate in fundraising and being able to chose who goes on the cap table Kjoller would definitely be there. Maybe another time.
We had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller during our early fundraising journey. Their team was professional, thoughtful, and willing to take the time to understand what we were building and the long-term opportunity. I particularly appreciated the transparency of the process and the quality of the questions asked around our traction, business model, and potential. I would be happy to recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a thoughtful and straightforward investor to engage with.
We pitched Kjoller and got a response almost immediately. Communication throughout was fast, professional, and straightforward, with no games about terms or pricing. It turned out we weren't the right fit for each other, but I'd still recommend them to anyone considering working with them, purely on the basis of how they handled the process.

Fridah ZibaCEO
I truly appreciated the reception and feedback I received from Kjøller. Even though I did not qualify for funding at this stage, I am grateful for the opportunity and, more importantly, for the honest guidance, encouragement, and valuable pointers I received.
Sometimes, a “not yet” is not a “no.” It simply means there is more work to do, more experience to gain, and more foundations to build.
The feedback gave me renewed hope and courage to keep pushing forward with Ziba Finance. Building a business from the ground up is not easy, especially in the financial services sector, but I believe that every challenge is part of the journey.
I may not have secured the funding this time, but I gained something equally valuable — clarity, encouragement, and a stronger determination to keep going.
I will continue learning, improving the business, strengthening the foundation, and knocking on doors until the right one opens.
I filled out a fundraising form this morning and received good suggestions in response. The team was helpful and supportive, and their guidance was clear and useful. Thank you!
We appreciate Kjøller for taking the time to review Farm Smart Group’s investment request and for providing clear and professional feedback. Although our opportunity was not a match with their current investment criteria, we valued the transparent communication and consideration given to our business.
The experience was helpful in understanding investor expectations and gave us useful insights as we continue strengthening Farm Smart Group and preparing for future investment opportunities. We would be pleased to engage with Kjøller again as our business grows and our investment profile develops.
Thank you for taking the time to review Bitwey and for the thoughtful feedback. I really appreciate the efficient process, clear communication and, above all, the practical advice regarding investors and our next steps. Even though we are not moving forward together at this stage, the conversation has been genuinely valuable to me. Thank you also for your encouragement and for wishing us success. I hope our paths cross again as Bitwey develops further. Best regards, Robert Zachar

I appreciate the quality of service and the overall approach of the team. I would be happy to recommend KJoller to others looking for a reliable and professional platform
Kjoller gave me a very unique experience to interact with potential investors. Till now, I always been interacting from the other side if the table, therefore this exposure was quite a leaning experience for me personally. The matching or no matching does not impact my understanding of the connection. I alway cherish my interaction with intellectuals and professionals. They always teach me something new. At 60 years, my appetite for knowledge is at it's peak. IPR Factory's unique platform has provided me a passion to learn, conceptualize and create something innovative; something useful and something valuable. Thanks for reaching out to me. I am grateful.

I really appreciate your prompt response for my company project proposal
The application process with Kjøller is clear, efficient, and well-structured for early-stage founders. Their portal asks pertinent operational questions, allowing us to showcase our business model for Hamid Badung’s Bee Keeping Farms effectively. We appreciate their swift communication and professional approach.
My experience with Kjøller has been highly professional and positive. What stood out was the quality of the interaction: clear communication, thoughtful questions, a structured approach and a genuine understanding of the entrepreneurial and investment process. The dialogue was direct and commercially grounded, while remaining constructive and respectful throughout. I particularly appreciated the combination of responsiveness and substance. It is relatively rare to find an investment organisation able to move efficiently while still giving proper attention to the business, its stage and the people behind it. Overall, a serious, pragmatic and entrepreneur-minded organisation, and one I would be pleased to remain connected with as opportunities develop over time.

Miriam Beatriz ColombiniA Company That Truly Values People
My experience with Kjøller has been extremely positive. Although my projects were not incubated, I received clear, honest, and highly valuable guidance on how to continue moving forward and which aspects needed further development to reach a stronger stage. I especially appreciate their kindness, understanding, prompt responses, and the genuine and selfless interest they showed in reviewing my proposals. Kjøller is not only a company focused on business and investment; it also demonstrates that it values people, their ideas, and the effort behind every project. I am sincerely grateful for the time, attention, and guidance I received.

Your application is the simplest that a customer can obtain loan. It gives open door to those who need loan to secure it easily with your financial organization.
Kjoller was highly professional and extremely effective—their questions provided clear guidance, illuminated the KPIs and metrics VCs prioritize, and materially improved our fundraising readiness. Thank you, Kjoller.
The application experience was straightforward and well structured. The questions were clear and gave us a good opportunity to explain our business, traction, and funding needs. Overall, it was a smooth and founder-friendly process.
I had a very positive experience with the application process. From the beginning, the communication was clear, professional and straightforward. What I particularly appreciated was that the application was clearly given proper attention. Even though RODOXONE was considered too early-stage for their current investment criteria, the response was not a generic rejection. They took the time to explain their reasoning and provided constructive observations that were genuinely useful for us as a founder-led company preparing for the next stage. The feedback showed an understanding of our concept, our current position and the areas that need further validation before approaching investors at this level. In a startup and investment environment where founders often receive very little explanation after submitting an application, this level of clarity and professionalism is valuable. A respectful, efficient and constructive experience... and one that I appreciated regardless of the outcome.

We reached out to the Kjøller’s Investment team as we begin to connect with investors in the MENA region and explore options. The team were super helpful in explaining their thesis and how we were too early for them. They pointed us to relevant resources and players in the ecosystem that could provide support as a bootstrapped startup. Its rare to find investors who take the time to review your material/company and provide valuable feedback and also ask to stay in the loop with key milestones where we fit into their investment thesis.

Jonas BrakoMr
Our experience with Kjøller has been truly positive. Their team has been responsive, clear, and professional throughout our engagement. We particularly appreciate their straightforward communication, practical recommendations, and genuine interest in understanding our business. Their engagement with Jobrak has been excellent, and we look forward to building on this relationship.
"The application process for Kjøller was straightforward, transparent, and user-friendly. Communication and feedback were prompt. Appreciate the smooth system."
A professional and well-structured process. The application form was thorough and the questions asked were genuinely useful in sharpening our thinking about the business. The investment team was responsive, direct, and transparent about fit early in the process, which saved time on both sides. While Kjøller was ultimately not a match for our current mandate, the experience was a positive one and I would recommend other founders give them a look.
I appreciate the opportunity to apply to Kjøller and go through the review process. Although my application was not successful, with the feedback that the business was still too early and did not yet have sufficient traction, I found the process useful. The experience gave me a clearer understanding of what investors look for beyond having a promising business model and early customer activity. The feedback has encouraged me to focus more strongly on building consistent revenue, increasing customer traction, and demonstrating repeatable growth before approaching investors again. Overall, I appreciate the time taken to review my application and provide feedback. It was a valuable learning experience as I continue building the business.
I have submitted an application to Kjoller, and got response within one day, providing useful feedback and potential investors list. Very professional, friendly and transparent approach. Highly recommended.
Kjøller stands out for its professional approach, transparent communication, and genuine interest in supporting growing businesses. The process has been structured, insightful, and valuable, making Kjøller a strong partner for entrepreneurs seeking growth and investment opportunities.

My experience with Kjøller was professional and straightforward. The application process was clear, and I appreciated the opportunity to present my business, Davlin Scott, for consideration.
Although my application was not a match at this stage, the feedback provided was useful and gave me a better understanding of what investors are looking for when evaluating early-stage businesses.
I also appreciate Kjøller’s willingness to provide founders with access to their submitted information, which can be useful when improving future applications.
Overall, I found the process helpful and transparent, and I would encourage other founders to consider Kjøller when exploring investment opportunities.

James Grant HayFounder, Home Screen Observatory (HSO)
Kjøller provided an exceptionally thoughtful and constructive assessment of our opportunity. Their feedback was candid, practical and genuinely valuable in helping us shape the next stage of HSO.
I admire and appreciate your passion and due diligence towards your work. Very prompt and responsible. Thank you so much for the encouragement and readiness to help others.
In the world of raising capital, it is a pleasure to approach Kjoller. They provided timely responses, indicating their assessment of the opportunity and even when we decided not to move forward, they provided input in terms of options to evaluate other potential investors, and even went the extra mile to provide non dilutive and acceleration options available to the company both locally (in our market) and abroad. This show the respect that they have for companies that approach them even if the opportunity does not fit immediately.

Michele Mike MarrandinoFunding Application Experience
The application process was thoughtful and engaging to complete. The response time was incredibly fast. Unfortunately we were not successful in our funding request as our ask was greater than their ticket size for funding. On a go forward basis, KJ0LLER should identify their ticket size on funding as part of their requirement criteria.
The application process was clear, structured, and thoughtful. The questions encouraged us to reflect carefully on our business, financial position, challenges, and growth opportunities. Overall, it was a professional and valuable experience, and I appreciate Kjøller’s approach to understanding companies beyond the numbers.
Kjøller's application process was professional, transparent, and respectful throughout. While iGLO was ultimately not a fit for their current investment mandate due to our pre-revenue stage, the team clearly took the time to understand the business and provide meaningful feedback.
Rather than a generic rejection, we received constructive guidance on investor fit, fundraising strategy, and the key milestones required for future investment readiness. The communication was prompt, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful.
I would recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a professional investor group that values clear communication and provides actionable feedback, regardless of the outcome.
I got to learn about Kjøller through LinkedIn, and I was immediately inspired by the storyline and I submitted an application. Despite the project not being approved so far, the follow up and further support by the team has ensured that I fine tune the business model and presentation.
Kjøller's team took the time to read our submission properly and gave specific, honest feedback on Chapresoft Security Solutions, even though we were too early for their stage. They were clear about why they were passing and pointed us to relevant funds and accelerators, which was more than we expected from a pre-screening. The main thing keeping this from 5 stars is that part of the referral list leaned toward paid investor databases rather than direct introductions.
Kjøller reviewed my pre-seed application for NEXUS-MM, a physics-grounded world model for robot safety. While they passed on investing at this stage, the response was fast (within 5 hours) and thoughtful. They clearly read my submission and gave genuine feedback rather than a generic rejection. I respect a firm that respects founders' time, even when the answer is no. Good experience. — Daniel, Founder of NEXUS-MM
We applied to Kjøller for funding for our startup, BayManager. Although our application wasn’t a match for their funding criteria, they went the extra mile to share other funding opportunities that were better suited to our case.
Their responses were prompt, professional, and genuinely helpful. We really appreciated their willingness to support us even though they couldn’t fund our application directly.
Thank you for asking for feedback. I would like to give you an honest observation, as I believe it may be useful for improving the experience for founders.
The application process itself was clear and the questions were relevant. However, I was somewhat surprised by the timing and format of the communication.
I submitted my answers at around 1:00 a.m. and received a response approximately two hours later, around 3:00 a.m. I also received your latest feedback request on Sunday at around 10:00 p.m.
Of course, I understand that modern investment processes can involve automated systems and AI-assisted communication. However, the very short response time and the absence of specific comments on the information I provided gave me the impression that my answers may have been processed automatically rather than reviewed personally by someone from the investment team.
This raises one important question for me as a founder: at what stage does an actual member of the investment team review the company and its application in depth?
For an early-stage founder, this distinction is important. Completing a detailed questionnaire requires considerable time and provides a lot of information about the company, the team, the financial model and the founders' thinking. It is therefore valuable to know that this information is not only collected and processed, but also genuinely considered by the people who may ultimately decide whether to invest.
I am not raising this as a criticism of automation. On the contrary, I believe AI can make investment processes much more efficient. My point is simply that, from the founder's perspective, there is a big difference between an application being processed and a company being understood.
Overall, I appreciate the opportunity to go through the process, and I would be very interested to know what the next stage looks like and when we might have a more substantive conversation with someone from the Kjøller investment team.
The engagement was open, mature, and productive. We truly appreciated the experience, and we especially valued how you provided us with alternative options and choices to consider.
Kjoller was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Even though PureCoco Beverage Limited was not a match at this stage, their advice and feedback were valuable and gave me a clearer perspective as a founder. I highly appreciate their support and would recommend Kjoller to other entrepreneurs.
Really straight talking but honest email reply to our submittal , we're probably a bit early for Kjoller. Impressed they gave encouraging feedack and alt suggestions. Quality outfit. Will keep in mind for A round.
I submitted Vyron Axis through Kjøller as part of our search for the right investment partner. Although we ultimately weren’t a match, the submission process was straightforward and professional. I also appreciated the ability to access the information from my application afterward, which is helpful when preparing for future investor conversations.
Vyron Axis is building a precision-engineered human performance nutrition system around preparation, performance, recovery and adaptation.
Prompt response, seamless process, and excellent customer care. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and handled with great attention to detail.
My recent connect with the team was fantastic. I particularly like the mindset with which the team approaches to evaluate your ideas and venture and ensure that the interaction is respectful and growth oriennted.
An exceptional investor and true partner. Kjoller combines deep market expertise with a supportive, hands-on approach that adds immense value from day one. Highly recommended!

Kesavulu Naidu ESunrise Sugars
I recently submitted Sunrise Sugars, an integrated sugar and renewable-energy project in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India, to Kjøller for consideration.
Although the project was not a match for their current investment criteria, I appreciated the professional communication and the opportunity to present our vision. The process also helped me understand the importance of project readiness, financial clarity, revenue visibility and a strong operational track record when approaching international investors.
I am grateful to the Kjøller team for reviewing our case and for their constructive communication. I hope to reconnect with them in the future as Sunrise Sugars progresses towards commissioning and establishes a strong operating and revenue track record.
Thank You ??

Peter PallaiCEO
the application process was easy and the reviewer feedback was prompt and informative
We had an excellent experience with the team. Although we ultimately decided that the investment structure wasn’t the right fit for our current round, the way they handled the process really stood out.
They took the time to understand our business, our fundraising strategy, and the complexities of what we’re building. What impressed us most was that, even after it became clear we wouldn’t be moving forward together, they continued to be genuinely helpful. They shared thoughtful feedback, suggested a number of relevant investors and funding avenues, and provided practical resources that could support us as we continue the raise.
That says a lot about the team and the way they work. The conversations were professional, transparent and constructive throughout, with a genuine interest in helping founders succeed rather than simply completing a transaction.
We really appreciated the time, insight and generosity they showed us and would happily recommend speaking with them.

Tatenda MapurisaFounder and Chief Executive Officer
A very positive and professional experience with Kjøller. Although ValueFusion is earlier than their current investment criteria, the team provided clear, constructive feedback and practical recommendations on investors and resources better suited to our stage.

Honestly, my interaction with Kjøller was professional from top to bottom.Even though they passed on our pre-seed round because we're still early stage. They took the time to explain why, gave genuinely helpful feedback, and pointed us toward concrete investor networks that actually match where we are right now. You don't always get that level of transparency in fundraising. Class act all around.

Anaele IrohCEO
If all VCs were configured like Kjoller, the fund raising experience for startups would be a more pleasant experience. Much like my first experience, the decision making is fast, less than 24 hours. Their automated initial due diligence feels like a conversation. A rejection comes with clear reasons that do not undermine your work but instead gives you directions on where to go for a better fit and how to prepare for success. The post decision engagement makes my experience feel like a collaboration to build success. Their efficiency makes you feel like they are the only VC you want to work with. Again, if you have compelling revenue and innovative work, and you are a credible entrepreneur, you should start with Kjoller. Even if it doesn't work out, you will come out with a useful experience.

Johan Carranza
We were impressed by the speed and professionalism of your response. Despite your decision not to participate in this Series A round, your team was fully transparent regarding expectations and information requirements, and showed genuine diligence in evaluating the business.
I had a very positive experience with Kjoller throughout the process of presenting and discussing a potential funding opportunity. The team was professional, responsive and took the time to understand the opportunity and the underlying business context before providing constructive feedback.
I particularly appreciated the clarity and honesty of the communication. Even though the opportunity ultimately fell outside Kjoller’s current investment focus, they provided useful guidance on how to better position the opportunity and identify more suitable investors and strategic buyers.
The process was straightforward, professional and respectful, and I would be happy to recommend Kjoller to entrepreneurs and businesses seeking a transparent approach to exploring funding opportunities.
We had a very professional and transparent interaction with the Kjøller team while exploring investment opportunities for TransFrugal. The discussions were candid, structured and gave us a clear understanding of their investment model and expectations. Finslly we decided to focus on building further traction before pursuing investment, we appreciated the time, openness and constructive dialogue throughout the process.
Kjøller provided a professional and well-structured application process, with clear communication throughout. Although our startup was not selected for the accelerator cohort, I appreciated the opportunity to present the company and engage with the process.
I was also pleased to subsequently be invited to join Kjøller's Board List, which demonstrates that the organization appears to value the broader experience and expertise of applicants beyond a single accelerator selection.
Overall, I found the experience professional and worthwhile, and I would be interested in engaging with Kjøller again in the future.
I appreciate your prompt decision after reviewing my application for investment. Though you did not accept my application but you explained the reason and advised me what to do that means a lot for me.
Appreciated the clear, transparent communication and fast response from the Kjøller team. Their insights and investor resources were extremely helpful for early-stage planning.
I had a very positive experience engaging with KJOLLER while exploring a potential partnership and investment opportunity for our newly established communications company. Although our company did not meet the criteria for KJOLLER’s current investment portfolio, their team was incredibly helpful in providing alternative options and avenues for us to explore. I particularly appreciated how professional, prompt and clear their response was throughout the consultation process. They took the time to understand our enquiry and provided constructive guidance rather than simply declining the opportunity. For an emerging business, that kind of response is genuinely valuable. Thank you to the KJOLLER team for the professional engagement and helpful guidance. I would certainly recommend them to entrepreneurs and businesses exploring investment and partnership opportunities.
I recently submitted my case, Rejeem Bella Rejeem, to Kjøller and appreciated the professional and straightforward experience throughout the process. Although the case was ultimately not a match for their current investment criteria, the submission process was clear, efficient, and useful for presenting our business concept to an investment-focused platform.
Kjøller provides a valuable service for founders, entrepreneurs, startups, and businesses seeking investors and business opportunities. The process of submitting a case encourages founders to clearly structure their business concept, value proposition, and growth potential, which can also be useful when preparing applications for other investors or funding opportunities.
I particularly appreciated receiving access to the information submitted and the ability to use it as a reference for future investment applications. The communication was professional, and the overall experience was constructive.
For anyone developing an innovative business concept or looking for investment opportunities, investors, startup funding, or business partnerships, I would recommend exploring Kjøller and understanding whether your case fits their investment criteria.
Our project, Rejeem Bella Rejeem, is focused on developing an innovative business concept with international growth potential. More information about the project can be found at:
https://www.rejeembelarejeem.com
Thank you to the Kjøller team for the opportunity to submit our case and for providing a professional platform for founders and entrepreneurs.
Kjoller is a great example of how a VC should operate. They take the time to thoroughly review your product and assess the investment opportunity. Even when they decide not to invest, they respond, follow up, and offer genuine words of encouragement to keep building. That level of respect and professionalism is rare in the VC world and truly appreciated.
Great experience with Kjøller - professional, supportive and very experienced investment team led by Magnus Kjøller. They have 32+ active portfolio companies and provide both capital and strategic advice. Highly recommended!
Dear Kjoeller Team, i want to thank you for your very timely and detailed response. it helps us to continue our project development process and to finetune our conversation with potential stakeholders.

Thank you for giving attention to my application though it was not your match.Kindly at some point also consider start ups like Lit and gril who have potential to grow
Their thorough and timely review of our funding opportunity was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately our ask was larger than their typical investment, but very much appreciated their timely response and recommendations of potential investors that may fit our funding requirements.
Even though I was rejected, I was impressed by the professionalism, care and attention to detail. This is why I leave my review here. - The interview was long but relevant and one could see that behind there are real people looking for real businesses - the answer came a few hours later! And one could tell from the answer that they really went through all the info I provided - as I mentioned, I was rejected, having a startup that is not generating income yet ( if you want to take a look, here it is: www.foilcruzer.com) - but I was provided with plenty of encouragement, options and advice. It seemed like they did care.
So, thanks for that, Kjoller.com, and maybe next time!
Excellent experience from start to finish. The process was clear, professional and straightforward, with the right questions and a strong focus on the business, the team and the growth opportunity. I particularly appreciated the practical approach and the openness throughout the process.
As this is our first external funding application, the experience has been very valuable for us. I would definitely recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a serious, pragmatic and entrepreneur-focused investment partner.
Very professional, super quick. Feels very thorough. However this combination of very quick and very thorough leaves a strong impression that I am talking to an AI, which then alienates the experience a bit. I would not give a lower rating due to that, but I wanted to feed that back to you.
I think it is fine if it is AI powered, but maybe you should communicate it, I think AI's should not act as being human. You know, you can call it the Kjoller AI Pre Screen or something, it still returns a lot of useful information.
I had the opportunity to engage with the Kjøller team regarding FRANKLAR Enterprises and a potential investment partnership.
Throughout the process, I found the team professional, thoughtful and respectful. I particularly appreciated the quality of the dialogue, the questions raised around investment structure and risk, and the willingness to understand FRANKLAR's business and our vision within Nigeria's cocoa value chain.
Although the proposed investment did not ultimately proceed, I am grateful for the experience and for the professionalism shown throughout our engagement.
I would be pleased to recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs and businesses looking for a serious and professional investment dialogue.
The investment application process with Kjøller is remarkably smooth, well-structured, and founder-friendly. Their portal asks clear, relevant operational and financial questions, making it straightforward to present our business model for Hamid Badung’s Bee Keeping Farms. We appreciate their quick feedback loops, professional approach, and efficiency.
Your responses to Founders are always encouraging and supportive. We hope we will be able to secure funding from you in future.

So many investors could learn from Kjoller's example. A quick and clear "No" is still useful feedback for a startup! Thanks for the work you do in the ecosystem.

It was a great experience with Kojoller. After submitting my investment application, I received a reply from the Kojoller team. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant onboarding experience.
Kjøller reviewed our application quickly and took the time to explain their decision clearly. Even though we were too early for their mandate, the feedback was thoughtful and they shared useful pointers for our fundraising. A respectful and professional process.
I had a great experience working with the Kjoller team. They were professional, transparent, and genuinely took the time to understand Ngital, our growth plans, and fundraising journey.
Their guidance was thoughtful, practical, and encouraging throughout the process. I truly appreciated their openness and support.
I would highly recommend Kjoller to founders looking for a trustworthy and professional fundraising partner.
The response was prompt and very helpful. Did not waste my time and have given a straight answer to my question and have gone beyond and provided possible solutions externally as my project fell outside their mandate.
Very quick and responsive to cases, I am very impressed by there professionalism, discipline and commitment. Kudos to the founder and the amazing team that makes everything possible
We had a very positive experience working with Kjøller. The team took the time to understand Plas-Free, our technology, clinical stage, and financing needs, and provided thoughtful feedback and relevant investor connections.
I particularly appreciated their professional and personal approach. Communication was always fast, responsive, and efficient, and the team was available whenever we needed feedback or support throughout the process.
Plas-Free is developing ClearPlasma, a CE-marked technology for the management of severe bleeding, and we truly appreciate Kjøller’s support as we continue our commercial and financing activities.
Really appreciated the thoughtful feedback and support. The conversations were practical, honest, and genuinely helpful as we refine our product thesis and prepare for our pre-seed journey.
The investor suggestions were also useful and gave us a few strong directions to explore.

Though we werent a fit, the response was timely and came with other reccomendations.
My experience with Kjoller has been excellent. I have sent many pitch decks and completed many questionnaires . Kjoller is one of the few that has the professional courtesy to respond and offer their position. I greatly appreciate the feedback and recommend them to anyone looking for a first class firm!
Fast, Professional and Constructive Process My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. The process was fast, clear and well structured, and the feedback was both constructive and useful. I particularly appreciated that the team not only explained why the investment was not a fit at this stage, but also suggested other investors and resources that could be relevant.
I fully understand that investors often prefer companies that can demonstrate sales and recurring revenue, as this reduces investment risk. Overall, I found the process efficient, transparent and professional.

I recently submitted Tevlas to Kjøller. Although our application was not a match at this stage, I appreciated the opportunity to have our startup considered.
The application process was clear and straightforward, and the communication from the Kjøller team was professional. As an early-stage founder, I appreciate platforms that create opportunities for startups to present their businesses and be considered.
While Tevlas was not selected, I’m grateful for the experience and would recommend Kjøller to other founders looking to explore funding opportunities.
The feedback from the team was swift, encouraging, and filled with valuable resources. The response made me feel genuinely welcomed and further validated that we are solving a real problem one with the potential to grow into a multinational brand.
My conversations with Kjøller helped me sharpen my thinking about Farm Fresh’s forecasts, margins and working capital. Their thoughtful questions encouraged me to take a more rigorous approach to building a sustainable business.
Having spent over 13 years building Farm Fresh in The Gambia, I appreciated the time, respect and constructive feedback they offered. Thank you for a valuable exchange and for encouraging our journey.
My experience with Kjøller was somewhat mixed. I appreciated the time taken by your team to review PNC and PNC ONE, the questions raised about our business model, and the additional investor recommendations that were shared with me. However, there was one point in the process that I found difficult to understand. I responded several times to the questions and follow-up emails I received, yet I was subsequently informed that the case was being closed because no response had been received from me. I still do not know whether this resulted from a technical issue, an email-thread issue, or an internal communication problem. I believe improving this part of the process would help avoid misunderstandings with founders who have actually responded. That said, I respect your decision that PNC was ultimately not a match for Kjøller, and I remain grateful for the time your team spent reviewing the opportunity and suggesting alternative funding avenues. We will continue developing PNC ONE and strengthening its business model, traction and investment readiness. I would be happy for this feedback to be considered constructively.

As the founder of Ecosys Digital, I’m building practical enterprise software designed to make business operations simpler, more affordable, and more accessible, particularly for organisations across Africa and other emerging markets.
Our two core platforms are Ecosys ServiceOps and Ecosys ITSM.
Ecosys ServiceOps is a field service and operations management platform built for organisations that manage technicians, clients, sites, assets, maintenance contracts, work orders, preventive maintenance, materials, quotations, invoicing, payments, and service delivery. The goal is to give businesses one platform to manage the full lifecycle of their operations, from a customer request or scheduled maintenance activity through field execution, reporting, billing, and financial follow-up.
Ecosys ITSM is our IT service management platform, designed to help organisations manage incidents, service requests, problems, changes, SLAs, service portals, integrations, automation, reporting, and broader IT support operations. We are also building automation and AI capabilities into both platforms so that routine operational work can increasingly be handled intelligently rather than manually.
When Kjøller reached out, we had a refreshingly candid conversation about the business, the products, the market opportunity, and the realities of building a technology company from the ground up.
What I appreciated most was that the conversation did not feel like a generic sales interaction. They took the time to understand what I am building, why I am building it, the market I am targeting, and the challenges involved in taking enterprise software from product development into commercial growth.
They asked thoughtful questions, challenged some of my assumptions, and gave me perspectives that made me think more critically about positioning, growth, investment, and the next stage of Ecosys Digital.
For an early-stage founder, that kind of conversation is valuable. You do not always need people to simply validate your ideas. Sometimes you need people who are willing to understand the vision, recognise the opportunity, and still have an open and honest discussion about what it will take to build a serious business.
I appreciated Kjøller’s genuine interest in Ecosys Digital and in the potential of the products we are developing. It was a professional, insightful, and worthwhile conversation, and I look forward to seeing where the relationship develops.
I recently completed Kjoller's funding assessment process, and although my application was ultimately unsuccessful, I found the experience extremely valuable. What impressed me most was the depth of the online questionnaire. It went far beyond basic funding questions and challenged me to examine different areas of my business like our market, customers, competition, operations, growth strategy, financial requirements, use of funds, and revenue potential. As a bootstrapped founder, the process made me step back from the day-to-day running of my business and evaluate Sojilearn from the perspective of a lender or investor. It also helped me reassess our funding requirements and prioritise the investments that are genuinely important for sustainable growth. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful and encouraging communication I received after the decision. It felt personal and respectful rather than like a generic rejection. I would recommend Kjoller to founders who want not only to seek funding but also to better understand how their business stands up to serious funding scrutiny. I learned a great deal from the process and will carry those lessons forward as I continue building Sojilearn.
Working with KJOLLER VC has been a great experience. Their team combines a strong understanding of startups and venture capital with a practical, founder-focused approach. They provided valuable insights, clear guidance, and thoughtful support throughout the process. I would highly recommend KJOLLER VC to founders looking for a knowledgeable and committed partner.
Thay are the best thay are straight forward up front and honest and the information that you get with their service is absolutely correct and on point thay take all the leg work out of finding investors and it helps a lot thank you for your help and time working with me

The guys gave me some great advice on how to proceed and find an investor as quickly as possible. I’m extremely grateful to them.
Though we didn’t get any investment from you, I have rated you 5. Reason is, first your drill through that long questionnaire was real, very thorough and engaging, that in itself is a value. Second, the response in the refusal email, showed you indeed took your time to go through the responses to the questions, allowing you see the business in it’s entirety, which in turn allowed a well guided thought on type of advice required, the gift of that encyclopedia of investors specific to our type of business is of great value, we say again thank you.

> Kjøller gave us a very professional and thoughtful experience. We appreciated the time they took to understand MusicTrendsMedia and the honest, constructive feedback they provided. We especially valued their recommendations of other investors and networks that may be a better fit for our current stage. The experience gave us useful perspective and encouragement as we continue building the company and pursuing investment opportunities.
I am glad for the detailed review given to my submission and an alternatives solution given despite in ability to fit into the investment.
I was indeed glad for recommendations and tools given.

They are very professional,supportive and resourceful. Though I couldn't make it this time but their recommendation is almost like a team support. I would be happy to get back to KJoller once I have enough data to pitch my project.
We applied to Kjøller through their website with Kwikza, a platform that puts India's local shops online in five minutes. The follow-up questions were thorough and made us look harder at our own numbers. We had a detailed, personal reply within a day, with specific feedback, suggestions for other investors worth approaching, and a straight answer when I asked what would put us in range for them. Clear, quick and respectful of a founder's time.

Very Prompt & Efficient, Response & Feedback is appreciable ,even the company profile didn't qualify to secure investment , however feedback from Kjoller & team truly supportive.
Kjoller, oferece um serviço excelente e profissionalismos fora do comum. Recomento a todos no meu site, adquirir serviços da Kjoller. Rapido e eficiente, sobretudo nas respostas em menos tempos.
I had a very positive experience working with Kjoller. The feedback I received was thoughtful, constructive, and demonstrated a genuine understanding of startup strategy, fundraising, and business scaling. The review process provided valuable insights that helped me strengthen my business model and refine my investor approach. I appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness, and practical guidance provided throughout the engagement. Highly recommended for entrepreneurs seeking honest and actionable feedback. Hany Sharafaddin Founder & CEO, SHAAS International Ltd. Website: https://shaasintl.com
Kjøller provided a clear, respectful and constructive response to our application. Although the project was not yet aligned with their investment criteria, they explained their decision transparently and took the additional step of recommending potentially suitable investors and funding sources. Their professionalism, encouragement and willingness to offer practical guidance were genuinely appreciated.
We had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller on behalf of one of our clients.
The discussions were clear, professional and constructive throughout the process. We particularly appreciated the transparency around their investment approach and the time taken to understand the business and its objectives.
Kjoller is really great. They kept to their word of giving a response in 24hrs. We got a no because we were not a match based on the stage we are now. However, they offered some suggestions that were very useful. I'm grateful.
Glad I came across Kjoller. Though my business didn't meet the criteria of what they were looking for, they guided and supplied other options at our radar.
Thank you very much for a prompt reply. Kjoller's position made perfect sense and it was perfectly understandable from our standpoint. It didn't work for my purpose this time, however we are considering to submit a new request in partnership with a local business associate and hopefully our joint request will be successful. Time will tell.
Prompt feedback with clear reasoning and also helpful suggestions

We would like to sincerely thank Kjoller for the prompt, professional, and thoughtful response to our engagement.
From the moment we reached out, the team responded quickly and took the time to understand what we are trying to achieve with Agroacre Organic Mixed Farm Limited. Even though we may not have been the right investment fit for Kjoller at this stage, we greatly appreciated the openness and professionalism with which they handled our proposal.
What stood out most was the practical guidance they provided on how we can move forward. The team shared valuable tips on refining our approach and, importantly, pointed us towards potential investors and partners who may be a better fit for our current business model and stage of development.
We found the feedback constructive, encouraging, and genuinely useful. It is not always easy to receive a response when an opportunity is not the right fit, but Kjoller went beyond simply saying no—they took the time to provide guidance that can help us improve and identify the right investment partner.
We highly appreciate their time, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to support entrepreneurs even when there is no immediate investment opportunity.
Thank you, Kjoller, for the valuable feedback and for pointing us in the right direction. We look forward to applying your advice as we continue building Agroacre.
Although our application for FOUND Africa Technology was ultimately not a match with Kjøller at this stage, I appreciated the structured and direct communication from their team. The process of submitting our case for FOUND Africa Technology (operating under FOUND Africa Technology Empowerment Foundation / FATEF) was straightforward, and receiving clear feedback rather than prolonged silence is something we value as founders building public-interest digital infrastructure. It is also commendable that they provide actionable closure and support SEO visibility for founders who take the time to share their feedback. Wishing the Kjøller team continued success.
Great experience with Kjøller! Very professional, helpful, and responsive team. The process was smooth, and their support was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.
I applied to Kjoller and received the result within 24 hours, which is something I really appreciate. However, I feel there’s one important gap in the process.
It’s difficult to fully understand a company’s business model, growth potential, and the founder’s journey without actually speaking to the founder. I believe there should be a 30 minute interview call with the founder before making the final decision.
Founders like me, who started without any savings or external investment and have managed to generate around $30K in first year annual revenue, and secured a project worth 250k should also get an opportunity to explain their journey, challenges, and vision.
A short conversation could give Kjoller a much deeper understanding of the founder and the business beyond what can be captured in an application form.
Great response time. The form could be better left untimed so that people sending applications can take their time filling it. I almost used AI just to get it done quickly but decided against it. Anyway, the response time is really great.
Kjøller is one of the best private equity / venture capital platforms we've engaged with. They responded to our application quickly and provided clear, actionable guidance throughout the process. We're grateful for their feedback and input, which have been valuable for the continued development of Netlink
I love what Kjøller is doing. Am very pleased with their speed and details in feedback to applications. Although what we are currently doing at upwardeco.com is not a possible match this time but we got very positive feedback and more resources to push forward.
Applied with DAB Protocol. The process was structured and the questions were serious. They did not invest - the case is early and regulated, which is fair. They gave useful feedback and practical recommendations. Communication stayed professional and warm throughout. Website: https://dabprotocol.eu
The team at Kjøller is highly professional and very reactive, responding quickly and respecting timelines throughout our exchanges. The process was clear, efficient, and well-organized.
It was very interesting with lot questions regarding investments and the other way related to the return on investment strategies.The list questions are very simple and flexible at all for.
My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. The application process was straightforward, and I appreciated the opportunity to present SHOPFORME Global Ltd and receive thoughtful feedback from the investment team. What stood out most was the honest and constructive response. Even though SHOPFORMME is still in its early stage, the feedback was practical and challenged us to think more clearly about customer acquisition, partnerships, and scaling our business across African markets. I appreciate organizations that take the time to review founders’ ideas and provide meaningful insights rather than generic responses. I look forward to staying connected with Kjøller and hope there will be opportunities to work together as SHOPFORMME continues to grow. Thank you for supporting entrepreneurs and innovation.
Kjoller is an amazing investment venture with prompt useful and insightful feedbacks on our DLP Technology System which is under the production at the prototype stage. For that reason, we are undoubtedly saying that Kjoller is innovative, and impactful towards the development of young entrepreneurs. We really appreciate its recommendations on our project as we are ready to explore those provided opportunity plateforms.
Thank you #Kjoller

We appreciate your follow-up, /review though we haven't yet got a funder to boost our activities
The feedback time is impressive (withing 24h) whatever the level of detail and length of the submitted proposal. Beside the outcome, the feedback is very clear and guiding to the right instruments.
The application process with Kjøller was smooth, transparent, and respectful of founders' time. Even though it wasn't a fit for this round, I truly appreciate the clear communication and quick turnaround. Highly professional team

Kjøller provided a professional, thoughtful, and supportive experience throughout our engagement. The team offered valuable guidance on fundraising options, investor outreach, and KPI reporting, while demonstrating a clear understanding of DKE’s business and market. I appreciate their time, transparency, and helpful recommendations.
Kjøller has been a pleasure to deal with. The team was professional, friendly, and very responsive throughout the process. I really appreciated their willingness to engage with us and the helpful communication along the way. It was a smooth and positive experience, and I would gladly recommend Kjøller to other founders and businesses looking for professional investment support.
We had a very positive experience with Kjoller. They were our first choice, and they fully justified that decision through their professionalism, responsiveness and flexibility throughout the engagement.
Their approach was thoughtful and transparent from start to finish. They took the time to understand TES Aqua, our technology, current stage and fundraising objectives, and provided detailed, constructive feedback that helped us improve our investor materials and outreach strategy.
We would gladly recommend Kjoller to founders looking for professional fundraising support, objective feedback and a clearer approach to investor outreach.
I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller during the application process for Unitell Distributors Limited.
Although the timing was not aligned for investment at this stage, I appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and thoughtful feedback provided by the Kjøller team. The review process was thorough, and the feedback highlighted important areas for continued improvement, including strengthening operational systems, KPI visibility, recurring revenue, and scalability.
Kjøller demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our business journey and the opportunity we are building in Papua New Guinea. Their insights have provided valuable direction as we continue developing UDL into a stronger procurement and trade platform.
I appreciate the time, consideration, and constructive approach from the Kjøller team and look forward to maintaining the relationship as Unitell Distributors Limited continues its growth journey.
I had a very positive experience with Kjøller during the investment assessment process for M&E Genius Pro.
Although Kjøller ultimately decided that our company was still too early for their current investment scope, the process was transparent, professional and genuinely constructive. The investment manager took the time to understand our product, market, founder-market fit and business risks, and provided detailed feedback rather than simply sending a standard rejection.
I particularly appreciated the practical guidance around the importance of building measurable commercial traction, including pilots, user activity, conversion, retention, ACV and recurring revenue. Kjøller also shared several relevant investor resources that can help us identify investors better aligned with our current pre-revenue stage.
For founders looking for a serious and transparent investment assessment, I would recommend engaging with Kjøller.

This company is well structure from the top to the list. .That is all I can say for now
Our experience with kjoller was a positive one. While ourMarketDay LTD was not ultimately a match for their funding criteria at this stage, we genuinely appreciate their intuitive approach to creating access and visibility within the startup funding ecosystem.
For early-stage founders, platforms that help bridge the gap between innovative businesses and potential funding opportunities are incredibly valuable. We particularly appreciate the effort they are making to make the funding space more accessible and founder-friendly.
For ourMarketDay, we are building a marketplace connecting farmers, food processors, bulk buyers and communities, and we remain focused on finding the right strategic funding partners who understand the scale and potential of what we are building.
We commend kjoller for creating an avenue where startups can put themselves forward, receive consideration, and gain exposure to the broader funding ecosystem. Even when there isn't an immediate match, the process itself is useful for founders.
We would be happy to recommend them to other startups exploring funding opportunities and looking to better understand where they may fit within the investment landscape.
Kjøller provided a very professional and transparent investment process. The application was straightforward, and the additional questions helped us present our business and funding needs in a structured way.
Although Kjøller ultimately decided that TradeSource was too early for their current investment focus, the feedback from their investment team was detailed, constructive and genuinely useful. They took the time to understand our business, our market and our development stage, and clearly explained the reasons for their decision.
I particularly appreciated the direct and transparent communication throughout the process. I would recommend Kjøller to founders looking for an investor who takes the time to understand the business and provides meaningful feedback, even when the investment is not a fit at the current stage.

Kjøller is true to it's promise of responding with in 24hrs.
Whether you get in or not, they are one of the few funders that actually get back to why you weren't there fit and they go ahead to follow up with information about the other institutions that may be able to fund you.
You ought to try your luck because it's a win with whatever outcome.

Pradeep ChaudharyA very professional and founder-friendly experience
Although UdaYantu was not a fit for Kjøller at this stage, I genuinely appreciated the response within 24 hours and, more importantly, the honest and specific feedback on why we were not selected. The additional investor references relevant to our sector were particularly valuable and gave us a practical direction for our next outreach.
I also appreciated that the process felt thoughtful rather than like a generic rejection. It helped us identify where we need to strengthen our case before approaching other investors. Thank you to the Kjøller team for the transparency, speed and constructive approach.
I had a fantastic experience with Kjoller. The whole process was handled perfectly — everything was clear, fast, and super well organized.
But the best part is the people. They are incredibly polite, friendly and welcoming. They greet you with a smile, take their time to explain everything, and you can feel they genuinely care about helping you, not just making a sale. Even with many customers, they stay calm, respectful and attentive to everyone.
You rarely see such good customer handling these days. Thank you to the whole Kjoller team!

Although the investment opportunity was not a fit for their current criteria, I genuinely appreciated their honest explanation and guidance on how I can further develop the business. The process was clear, respectful, and valuable, and I would definitely recommend them to entrepreneurs looking for honest and professional investor feedback.
My experience with Kjøller is amazing and straightforward. Fast responses and when my application was not approved, they also referred me to other available options with a good VC links. Thank you kjoller.

Rosanne MwangiDirector
I had a good experience at Kjoller.com in relation to my application for consideration for investment. The response was within 24 hours of putting in my application, and it had in depth feedback on their view of my case. Kjoller was also gracious to point out some resources that I could use for our benefit. Much as our application was not a fit, we left feeling seen, heard and cheered. Thank you.
I was recommended by one of my investor friend to apply for Kjøller. Within 24 hours, I've got the feedback on my application with a very detailed comment. It's quite straight forward but kind-hearted. We couldn't have a direct chance to work together this time because of my company's business stage, but I'd like to keep this connection with the business progress update.
Even though I was rejected by Kjoller, I genuinely appreciated the advice and support they included in the rejection email. I honestly did not expect it. They shared a number of venture funds and investment opportunities across Nigeria and Africa that invest in pre-revenue startups, and I found that extremely helpful. I have already applied to many of the opportunities they recommended, although I am still waiting for feedback from some of them. One thing I would suggest is that, since Kjoller does not currently invest in pre-revenue startups, it may be better to make that clearer from the beginning so founders at this stage know whether they are eligible before applying. That said, I am still grateful that I applied because the rejection ended up opening new doors and connecting me to opportunities I may not have found on my own. I truly appreciate the value they provided, even in saying no.
Dear Team We are very much greatful for your valuable inputs about our area of improvement for future applications and we are on way to place ourselves appropriately in order to encash the opportunity. However, at first we wear lacking on some of the parameters that could necessary to approve the application,but nevertheless, your response to our application is much appreciated and also it's value addition to our portfolio. We also encourage the entities accross various industries to have at least conversation with your team to understand and evaluate the needful of business finances and make the requisite alignment accordingly. Further we are very kuch thankful for your time and timely response along with the suggestions and alternative opportunities provided.

I had a very positive experience with Kjøller. Their response was impressively fast, and the communication was professional and clear throughout. I truly appreciated the time they took to review my opportunity and provide thoughtful feedback. Overall, a great experience, and I highly appreciate their professionalism and responsiveness.
Despite not been a match, I believe that the speed of response was admittedly surprising but also assuring. Also the personalization of the response and brief exchange with the representative of Kjoller was warm and insightful. Unfortunately we were not able to work together now, in the future, I am sure Kjoller will back as in future rounds.
Kjoller's approach was open, frank, direct and helpful all through our exchanges. This approach saved everyone time and kept the conversations energised while leaving the door open for future engagements. They also threw in a couple of insights along which were well appreciated ??
Kjøller declined our application, and I would still recommend applying to them. The decline was reasoned rather than generic: they explained precisely why our stage did not fit, pointed us to five funders better matched to our geography and profile, and when I asked what would make us fundable later, they came back with specific criteria on recurring revenue, contract concentration and reporting. That answer reshaped our plan for the next eighteen months. For a first-time founder building a company far from any investor hub, that kind of feedback is rare and valuable. www.terangaclean.com
I found the investment evaluation process at Kjoller to be exceptionally professional, thorough, and transparent. During our interactions, the Analyst took the time to deeply understand our revenue streams, key KPI drivers, and long-term growth prospects through insightful and respectful discussions.
What truly stands out is their founder-friendly approach: even when an opportunity falls outside their specific investment criteria, they proactively offer referrals and point founders toward alternative VC firms that might be a better fit. I deeply appreciate their supportive ecosystem approach and wish the entire team at Kjoller continued success.
I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with Kjøller and share our business journey, The feedback and guidance we received were valuable particularly the insights on KPI tracking and investor preparation. The process helped us better understand areas where we can strengthen our business and become more investment-ready. I appreciate the professionalism, time and constructive feedback from the Kjøller team. I would highly recommend their approach to founders looking to improve their businesses and prepare for investment.
I received valuable feedback from Kjøller that helped clarify our next priorities for CampFire. The key areas of focus are to strengthen recurring B2B revenue, validate and deepen product-market fit. This feedback has been useful in shaping our next phase of growth.

Highly professional process and valuable guidanceAlthough we did not secure an investment this time around, our experience with Kjøller was incredibly positive. The team took the time to thoroughly read our application, actively engaged with our emails, and provided constructive, practical guidance on how we can improve our company moving forward. We deeply appreciate their thoroughness and high level of service throughout the entire process.
even though they praised my product and the website says they invest in pre revenue they said i wasnt a fit but they did give me some other leads to check out
As an early-stage startup, I did not have the opportunity to reach out to them directly. However, during the pre-screening process, one of the team members took the time to give me heartfelt and genuine advice—to stay resilient, go through the hardships of the market, and keep moving forward.
That personal approach truly touched me. It was more than just feedback; it felt like genuine encouragement from someone who understood the challenges of building a startup from the ground up. Their words gave me renewed energy.
The experience recharged my motivation and gave me the confidence to take the next step, even in the face of uncertainty and challenges.
Thanks for your attention and interest on our business, we learn a lot from the advice left from your side, we hope to straight and improve our vision.

The organization is the best. everything is done on time, the reply is almost instant and I believe that even when executing a project everything will be done on time. I was also provided with all the necessary information I needed.
Our experience with Kjøller was positive and professional. The application process was straightforward, and the team communicated clearly throughout. We especially appreciated receiving a thoughtful response after the review of our company rather than a generic rejection.
While INKNAIJA was ultimately considered too early in its revenue journey for investment at this stage, the feedback was constructive and encouraging, particularly around the traction we have achieved so far. The interaction gave us a clearer understanding of what Kjøller looks for and where we need to continue strengthening the business.
Overall, it was a respectful and valuable experience, and we would be open to reconnecting with Kjøller as the company grows.
Even though we did not secure an investment from Kjøller during this round, our experience applying to them was outstanding. As a pre-revenue startup, pitching to venture firms can be daunting, but the team at Kjøller handled our case with extreme professionalism, speed, and genuine transparency. Instead of sending a generic rejection email, they provided constructive feedback and clear guidance on our next logical milestones. They went above and beyond by sharing valuable information and directing us toward specific networks and grant programs better suited for companies at our current early stage. I highly recommend Kjøller to any ambitious founding team looking for a sophisticated, supportive, and founder-first investment firm—they truly support the broader startup ecosystem.
Kjoller's automated review information gathering process was straightforward, intuitive and fair.
We appreciate the thoroughness but also relevance of the questionnaire, Kjoller's human outreach to offer feedback and final status of our application.
My experience with Kjoller was fantastic. Although, our funding application was rejected due to the stage of the business-pre seed. The team were able to provide advanced information as a wayfoward to our request. We have started working on our traction and we hope to stay in touch with your team for future opportunities.
My experience using Kjøller’s website to prepare and submit the investment proposal for A&J SmartRide was very positive. The platform provided a clear and structured process that helped me organize important information about my business, including the company’s business model, market opportunity, financial needs, and growth plans.
I particularly appreciated how the questions guided me to think more carefully about different aspects of the business and present SmartRide in a more structured and investor-focused way. The process was straightforward and easy to follow, even for an early-stage company preparing its investment case.
Overall, the experience was valuable because it not only provided an opportunity to seek investment, but also helped me better understand how to communicate A&J SmartRide’s potential to investors. I would recommend the platform to other founders looking for a structured way to prepare and present their investment proposals.

Even though the application didn't go through I'm very thankful for their redirection on where I could apply n get higher of acceptance which actually worked ??
We reached out to Kjoller for funding into our company which is a Clean technology. Though we did not get the response we wanted due to the revenue we have generated till date but we got a constructive feedback from the team and also list of other Venture Capitalists we can speak to. We will definitely appreciate if Kjoller can come back to discussion table with us as what we intens to raise for our Pre-seed round is $400,000.
Thank you for your message and for taking the time to provide feedback.
Although our case, Karatu Expedition Safaris, was not a match at this time, I appreciate the opportunity to share our business with you. I will be happy to leave a review and share my experience.
I also appreciate the link to the information we submitted, as it will be useful for future applications.
Thank you again for your support, and I hope we may have an opportunity to work together in the future.
Best regards, Emmanuel Patrick Karatu Expedition Safaris
A professional and straightforward experience from start to finish. Communication has been clear, responsive and personal, and the overall process has been easy to navigate.
It is refreshing to work with people who understand that good service is not only about the product itself, but also about communication, reliability and the way clients are treated.
The application process was professional and clearly structured. Kjøller provided honest and timely feedback, which is exactly what founders need at an early stage. The team communicates respectfully and responds quickly. We appreciate the straightforward approach and look forward to reconnecting once we have stronger traction.
Title: Valuable and constructive fundraising experience
I applied to Kjøller seeking investment for Uchembere Wabwino Maternity Clinic in Malawi. Although our organisation was ultimately outside Kjøller’s current investment scope, I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism, responsiveness and quality of engagement throughout the process.
What I appreciated most was that the team did not simply decline the application. They took the time to review our organisation, understand our model and provide valuable insights that helped us reflect on our financial sustainability, business model and future growth.
For an organisation like ours that operates at the intersection of healthcare and social impact, this kind of honest feedback is extremely valuable. The process challenged us to think more strategically about how we strengthen the commercial and sustainable side of our organisation while continuing to deliver meaningful impact to communities.
I am grateful to the Kjøller team, particularly for the thoughtful feedback and the willingness to point us towards other opportunities that may be better aligned with our stage and model.
Even though an investment did not materialise, I consider the experience worthwhile and would encourage other founders to approach Kjøller with an open mind. Their feedback can be valuable in itself.
Thank you to the Kjøller team for taking our work seriously and engaging with us constructively.
Kjøller responds very quickly and their team is always professional, and genuinely helpful. Communication feels easy and supportive throughout the process. In addition, they provided us with a valuable list of potential investors and angel investors, which was a great bonus and really appreciated.

The process was very clear, although long but the questions were quite mind opening and also help point our focus at some directions previously missed. Also the feedback system is quite top notch , as it has been prioritised so as to ensure a good experience overall.

Thank you for the response and for taking the time to review Apexal. I completely understand. If you have any specific feedback on what we could strengthen for a future application, I'd genuinely appreciate it — we're building Apexal for the long term and would welcome the perspective.
As a founder raising at an early seed stage, I’m used to receiving either no response at all or a very short “not a fit” message. Kjøller was different. They took the time to really look into TheFamous, understand the business model AI driven that transform the fashion industry, and send back thoughtful, fair and genuinely useful feedback.
We are still a little too early for their current investment criteria, which I completely understand, but the quality of the interaction stood out. They were transparent about why they were passing, while also sharing relevant suggestions and resources that could help us at this stage. I would be very happy to reconnect with Kjøller, if needed, in the future once we have reached a more advanced level of commercial traction.
Thank you for the quick review, feedback, and the resources you shared. While I appreciate your kind words about our product, the response feels like a templated reply. Phrases like, 'You seem to be building a very interesting business in a space that matters...' come across as generic. Genuine, specific feedback about our product would be incredibly motivating for our team.
Very impressed with the excellent standard of service provided by the consultant that assisted me. It was the finest rejection of all time. Keep up the excellent quality.
I received a heartwarming feedback and the fact that you understood my business and offered much more information on it is heartwarming.

Excellent experience with the Kjøller team. Their process is highly structured, and they provide extremely quick responses. Truly appreciate their professional communication and fast turnaround time. Highly recommended for founders!
Nyangorora Banana Processors Limited in collaboration with KJOLLER , minimizing environmental impact while creating new community revenue streams. Please help us to expand this project
The investment application process was exceptionally well structured and thoughtful. Rather than focusing only on financial figures, the questions encouraged us to examine our company from multiple perspectives — our product, market, team, challenges, capital requirements, competitive position, runway and long-term ambitions.
I particularly appreciated Kjøller's emphasis on understanding the founders and the business behind the numbers, as well as its approach to providing not only capital but strategic support, experience and assistance with future fundraising.
For an entrepreneur, completing the application itself is a valuable exercise in thinking critically about the business and articulating where it is today and where it intends to go. A very professional and founder-friendly experience.
Even though our organization did not secure financing on this occasion, the entire application process with this organization was outstanding. From start to finish, the process was incredibly smooth, efficient, and well-structured. What truly set them apart for me was the honest, constructive, and transparent feedback they provided throughout the evaluation. Their insights gave us immense value for our strategic planning moving forward. It is rare to find an organization that pairs such high professionalism with genuine integrity, regardless of the final funding outcome. I am deeply appreciative of their guidance and support, and I highly recommend their services to any business looking for a reliable, transparent partner.
Kjøller gave very positive and constructive feedback, as well as valuable links to other investors, even though we are currently pre-revenue, and therefore not a fit. We’ll be in touch again when that changes!
The application and review process with Kjøller was smooth, transparent, and direct. While we weren't a fit this time around, the communication was professional from start to finish. Looking forward to keeping in touch as SPACEPORT continues to grow.
My experience with kjoller was awesome. Fast and warm responses with a very vital guideline on the continuation of my startup journey. Thank you kjoller
Kjøller has been very supportive and professional throughout the process. I truly appreciate their valuable feedback, encouragement, and support. Highly recommended!
First off, to promise a response in 24 hrs is in itself very impressive, but to my surprise,I got a feedback in less than 5hrs. I've made several funding applications, but this is the first time the feedback feels really personal and thorough. Thanks

Adaeze EbuemeFounder, VantageHaus
Although Kjøller ultimately decided not to invest in VantageHaus at this stage due to our pre-revenue position, the feedback we received was exceptionally thoughtful and constructive. Rather than sending a generic rejection, the investment team took the time to understand our vision, explain the reasoning behind their decision, and provide practical guidance on how we could approach investors better suited to our current stage.
They even shared a number of relevant investor leads and resources that could be useful as we continue fundraising. That level of consideration and generosity is rare.
I came away from the process with greater clarity, useful connections to explore, and an even stronger conviction about what we’re building. I genuinely appreciate the time and thought Kjøller put into reviewing VantageHaus.
Communicating with and pitching to Kjøller has been a refreshing experience. From our initial outreach, the team proved to be extremely transparent, attentive, and quick to engage.
?What stood out most to us and our team was their deep understanding of the startup journey. They genuinely respect the grit and discipline required to build and bootstrap a business from the ground up.
Beyond just looking at metrics, they provided great moral support and encouragement toward our vision, which meant a great deal to us. It is rare to find an investment team that communicates with this level of honesty and respect for early-stage founders.

Kjøller's screening process stood out for its personal attention and rigor. Investment Team reviewed our full application in depth - not a form response - and the feedback on our business model, risk profile, and growth structure was specific and genuinely useful. While The Property Court Limited didn't clear their current revenue threshold for this round, the quality of engagement and the clarity of their reasoning gave us real confidence in how seriously Kjøller evaluates each case. A team worth applying to for founders who want substantive, professional feedback, not just a yes or no.

My company and business plan received very valuable feedback and guidance. KJOLLER provided thoughtful insights into my business model, growth strategy, operational structure, and future opportunities. The recommendations are particularly helpful in identifying areas for improvement, strengthening the company's overall strategy, and providing practical guidance for its continued development and expansion.

David Moseti MaseseDirector of Mission Architecture and Aviation Governance
When navigating complex business strategies, having a firm that communicates clearly and effectively is invaluable. The Kjøller team demonstrated outstanding professionalism and a swift turnaround that kept our momentum going. I highly value the honest, transparent feedback they brought to the table—it speaks volumes about their integrity and operational standards.
A very positive experience with Kjøller. Although Kids Active Media wasn't quite at the revenue stage they typically invest in, the team took the time to properly understand our business and gave us honest, constructive feedback rather than a generic rejection. They even provided a highly relevant list of alternative investors and networks for our children's IP and education business. A thoughtful and genuinely helpful investment team.
A very structured and smooth process. Even though I wasn't selected, I appreciated the clear guidance and timely feedback from the team. Highly professional fund house!
My application for funding was not approved as i was at the pre-revenue stage and yet to build traction needed to meet the funding requirement. Regardless, my startup idea was encouraged and vital, comprehensive information on platforms and investors who back early stage startup was shared with me. Information i wouldn't have had access to, had I not applied. I think this is a constructive and supportive way to reject an application which i deeply appreciate. Would be taking action on all the recommendations shared with me. Thank you Kjoller.
“Applying to Kjøller was a clear and transparent process. Their team provided thoughtful feedback and encouragement even though we were pre-revenue. I appreciated the speed and clarity of communication. MediaUClips is excited to keep building and we value the connection with Kjøller.”
As a founder building Medinex, a healthtech company in Nigeria, I found the application process of Kjoller to be straightforward and transparent, I also appreciated how practical and direct the feedback was. Kjoller doesn’t just say “no” — they tell you what “yes” looks like. The network and insights shared have been genuinely useful. I would recommend to any startup building in Africa.
If you are a an aspiring founder looking for structured financing along with expert advice and support, I recommend the Kjoller team. They are very professional and thoughtful in their approach. Thank you Kjoller!
Applying fat Kjoller was one of the most intense things I've done for Lune so far, and I mean that as a compliment.
The questions didn't let me hide. They pushed past the pitch-deck version of the business and made me sit with the harder stuff: what problem am I really solving, who am I solving it for, and why me? I went in thinking I knew my business inside out. I came out with a sharper, more honest version of it.
It forced a kind of deep thinking I'd been putting off. A few of my assumptions cracked open, and what replaced them was stronger. Even before hearing back, I feel like the process alone made Lune better.
Grateful for opportunities that don't just fund founders, but stretch them. This was one of those.
A very thoughtful and transparent investment process. The application was thorough and gave me an opportunity to articulate the business clearly. Although Kjøller ultimately decided not to proceed because the company is currently at an earlier stage than their investment focus, the feedback from the Kjøller team was constructive, specific and genuinely helpful. I particularly appreciated the time taken to understand the business and the practical suggestions around alternative funding avenues that may be better suited to our current stage. Overall, a professional, transparent and founder-friendly experience.
Is it true that we didn't make it to the funding stage, but having a customized feedback to highlight every point you need to improve, is very helpful and considerate from Kjøller Team. Where others send you a standard robotic answers, Kjøller Team Follow-back as what an investor should do and be, Thanks to their feedback we can improve ourselves and next time we will make it to the funding stage.
This is my second time applying and I must say that the level of apathy displayed by the Kjøller team was so impressive. Recommendations and advice, top notch. The approach was very humanistic and encouraging. Thanks to the team and the entire organization for putting things right and helping upcoming founders to perfect their career path. This is for you Morgan, you are so amazing!

Although I received names of some investors but none replied back to my messages!!
I really enjoyed the back and forth communication with kjoller and in the end, even though they turned us down, they still gave us strong words of encouragement. That means so much to us, not just personally but to our whole team, because we discussed it today.

If you have any questions you can reach me on +27736271618 or alternative via email.
My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. What stood out most was the quality of the feedback following my submission. They demonstrated that they had genuinely understood Kaika AI’s core thesis; not just the technology, but the underlying problem of detecting workforce disengagement before it becomes resignation. Their recognition of our “signal before silence” framing and our focus on creating measurable ROI for Japanese enterprises was particularly meaningful. It showed that they had taken the time to understand both the problem and the market we are addressing. I appreciated the professional and thoughtful nature of the pre-screening process. For an early-stage founder, having an investor take the time to engage with the substance of the business rather than simply evaluating the headline is valuable. I would describe Kjøller as thoughtful, serious, and founder-oriented in their approach. The experience gave me confidence that our thesis is communicating clearly to sophisticated investors, while also highlighting areas where we can continue strengthening our case.
Despite that we haven't got an investment from Kjøller, we still got a constructive feedback from their perspective that we really liked and could build future rounds on top of that constructive feedback.
Kjøller provided a fast, professional and genuinely thoughtful response to my investment application.
Although Beyond White Jacket is still too early for an investment at this stage, their feedback was clear, constructive and respectful. They understood both the value of my 35+ years of international leadership experience and my ambition to build a scalable business rather than remain a traditional day-rate consultancy.
The process helped confirm what must come next: paying clients, repeat engagements and clear commercial proof points. I appreciated the honesty, encouragement and practical perspective.
Michael Shroder Founder, Beyond White Jacket www.beyondwhitejacket.com
A professional and straightforward experience. Communication was clear, and the team was helpful and responsive throughout, providing valuable professional insights.
I would definitely recommend Kjøller to anyone seeking informed advice or investment opportunities.
I received good and empowering advice from kjoller even though I was not a suitable candidate. I appreciate everything. The information provided to me actually opened hidden doors I didn't know about. Thank you Kjøller team.
Very positive experience with Kjøller. The team took the time to provide thoughtful, specific feedback and shared useful recommendations and resources relevant to our stage. I particularly appreciated the transparency and willingness to help, even when there wasn't an immediate investment fit.
It has been a great experience overall. Although we were not considered for investment, we received valuable feedback, including suggestions on prospective funders we could reach out to. The KPI software tracker is another important tool that will strengthen our mission by helping us monitor and measure our impact more effectively. Overall, I would rate the experience 5 stars.
kjoller where very quick to respond and very helpful. They provided us with a series on information on how to proceed. They also gave us some excellent feedback which was most appreciated.
iNteract recently went through the application process with Kjoller. While our application was ultimately not a match for their current criteria, we appreciated the opportunity to put the business through an external evaluation. The process gave us another perspective on how we communicate our proposition as a founder, and Kjoller was professional enough to respond with constructive feedback and gave other options to use and follow, which I never expected and appreciated very much as a founder.
One of the best experiences I’ve had with investors.
Although I didn’t receive funding, I felt genuinely supported. The reasons for the decision were clearly explained, and I was given practical feedback on what I could improve, as well as alternative options I could explore.
What stood out to me is that Kjøller genuinely seems to want founders to succeed, even when they ultimately can’t be part of that success.
I’m grateful for the experience and the time they invested in helping us become better founders and build a stronger company.
Kjøller is hands-down the most founder-friendly and encouraging investment firm a first-time founder could ever start their journey with.
As the founder of PiVisen AI, this was my very first fundraising application. Even though my case wasn't a match at this early stage, the respect, clarity, and professionalism I received from their team was truly unmatched. They genuinely value young founders and make the entire process smooth and inspiring. I am deeply grateful for this experience and will definitely stay connected with Kjøller as we scale!
Excellent experience with Kjøller. Their communication was extremely prompt, professional and transparent from the very beginning. They took the time to understand our business and vision and provided constructive feedback throughout the process. Even though our current investment requirement did not fit their criteria at this stage, we genuinely appreciated their professionalism, flexibility and respectful approach. Highly recommended for entrepreneurs looking for a responsive and professional investment partner.

I approached Kjøller while building Spear Point Solutions and the Pacific-Wide Clinical Research Network, not simply seeking capital but also testing how our developing business would be viewed through an investor's lens. Their response was exactly what an entrepreneur should want: candid, specific, constructive and useful.
Rather than a generic rejection, their team identified what they found compelling, where they believed we remain too early for their investment model, and - most importantly-the commercial milestones and KPIs that would make the company more investable as we mature. That kind of feedback has genuine value.
Professional, thoughtful and substantive. I would recommend Kjøller to other founders who value clear-eyed feedback as much as access to capital.
A very professional and constructive experience. The team took the time to understand OvaOva and provided candid feedback about the traction required at our current stage. Although they passed on this round, I found the process valuable and would be happy to engage with them again as OvaOva progresses

My engagement with Kjoller proved to be both fruitful and insightful. The knowledge imparted was of immense practical value, especially for a business owner navigating the funding landscape. As a result, I have gained a robust understanding of the strategies required to successfully approach and communicate with investors moving forward.

When looking for an investor, time is of importance! Having a professional judgment in a timely fashion is priceless!
Kjøller offers a thoughtful and founder-friendly application experience. The process asks meaningful questions that push founders to clarify their market, product, traction and strategy. While Quotera was not selected, I appreciated the transparency and the opportunity to articulate the business more clearly.
Exceptional feedback, supportive, understanding and went the extra mile to provide life changing suggestions. Wish more rejections were as thoughtful. Definitely recommending kjoller for high end clients.

Star Bornafide Excel Ltd application for funding of about $1m to $10m to embark in food supply chain and agriculture was not a match to Kjoller. This we were unable to state our revenues.
Our revenues from the sales of Solar street lighting installation contract we executed in 2025, raked $272, 142.85 equivalent to 381 million Naira in Nigerian currency.
Meanwhile, since Kjoller recommended that our business proposal is welcoming, although our revenues not given, our company is under development. Our revenue had started.
We would like to reapply to intended investors to consider our plea for equity participation in this food supply chain business integrating with farming, Atlantic ocean Trawlers fishing, Solar Cold room fish & meat storages, green houses equipment sales and drinking water packaging and sales.
Our application is for funding to Zenith Bank of Nigeria plc and other partners is in progress. Contacts with stakeholders, suppliers of equipment needed to escalate the chances of making more revenues in short run, in place. Our audited financial for the year ended 2025 awaited.
Land of more than 3 hectares and building available for mounting the needed equipment.

BOJA ANILKUMARFounder and Managing Director
I’m the founder and managing director of Greenfield Acres Private Limited, an agri-tech startup in Telangana, India focused on sustainable farmland investment, development, and asset tokenization. I’ve been impressed by Kjøller’s model of combining up to USD 1 million in fast, founder-friendly capital with hands-on strategic, legal, and governance support; the ability to invest up to USD 1 million and respond within 24 hours is rare and highly valuable for founders navigating time-sensitive growth windows, and is exactly the kind of partnership that can help de-risk and accelerate growth for ventures like ours. While we would welcome Kjøller’s own investment consideration, we are also expanding our investor base in Dubai. We would be grateful if Kjøller could introduce us to Dubai-based investors, family offices, or funds interested in agriculture, sustainable farmland, and emerging-market infrastructure, and advise on how best to present our opportunity to Gulf investors.
Although RAUFSAL Trading LLC was not selected, I sincerely appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and constructive feedback provided by the Kjøller team.
The process was respectful, and the insights shared helped us better understand what investors look for and where we need to strengthen our business as we continue to grow.
I would gladly recommend founders looking for thoughtful and honest feedback to engage with the platform.
Wishing the entire Kjøller team continued success.
Wraith Technologies International provides Automotive, Aerospace and Defense business services to both domestic and international clients. We reached out to Kjoller Ventures because Wraith has a UK client that is searching for early stage investment capital and while their major focus is on supporting revenue generating firms, their office location (Dubai, UAE) interested me. Wraith worked with the Saudi government to prepare a Proposal of how the UAE could establish an organization similar to the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States, regarding technology startups. Since Kjoller has the necessary connections in Europe, it was a top choice to link with them. Kjoller Ventures in Dubai is a top-tier investment firm. They offer smart strategies, deep market knowledge, and great communication. Their team is sharp and helpful. They helped us grow our fund raising activities fast. I give them five stars and strongly recommend them to any growing company.
Why They Are Great 1. Expert Team: The staff knows the market well and gives clear advice. 2. Fast Results: They work hard to help projects grow and succeed. 3. Good Support: They answer questions fast and stay in touch. 4. Smart Choices: They pick the best ways to use funds and time.
Kjoller, is very helpful to us at CUBEDOT LTD, even when we didn't meet their requirements, references and suggestions are still coming how to get what we needed to build solecraft.
Really positive experience with Kjøller. They responded quickly and the feedback was clear and genuinely constructive, not just a generic reply. What stood out most was that the relationship didn't end there. They followed up with other ways to stay involved, such as their board list, co-founder opportunities, and a referral programme for other founders. It felt like they were building a long term relationship rather than just processing an application. Would happily recommend them to other startups.
It's really useful to interact with team of Kjøller . They help on different level towards all the startup landscape https://windtracx.com/ team thanks for the help
The guidance through the process was excellent. The options and checks was thorough. We were made to feel that we matter.

It was a great pleasure working with the Kjøller team. They are very professional and even though we unfortunately could not strike a deal, they provided meaningful feedback that will be helpful to Chinoz Productions on our fundraising journey.

I experienced the fastest feedback on an application with Kjøller.
Although, my startup isn't at the level of the investment they were looking for, at the moment, I was given very helpful alternative that would help me.
The encouragement over what I am building was quite good, as that doesn't go around much where I'm from.
I really do hope we can get to work together in future.
Great Experience and very thoughtful in the Questions asked. The feedback was given in a very quick time and the contacts and advice given has been very helpful.
You show real interest and it is nice that you do a follow-up. However, I would expect to listen more on the technology before taking a decision.

I was impressed about the commitment regarding to response by Kjoller and additional information and guidance they provided to me was really helpful. I appreciate.
I appreciated the opportunity to share my case with Kjøller. Even though Trust Solutions Company Ltd and our project E-DUKA were not the right fit this time, I believe that the process was clear, professional, and respectful. The feedback invitation shows that Kjøller values founders and is committed to improving how they work with entrepreneurs.
Submitting our case helped us refine our materials, and I see real value in the way Kjøller engages with companies. I would recommend them to other founders looking for growing in transparent and constructive investor interactions.
I had a very positive experience with Kjøller’s application process. Their team reviewed PlayCred carefully and provided detailed, constructive and encouraging feedback. Although our company was earlier than their current investment stage, they were transparent about the decision and shared helpful recommendations for our fundraising journey. I genuinely appreciated their professionalism and founder-friendly approach.
The only reason this review is not a five-star is because my application wasn't approved. Everything else went as smoothly as can be.

Applying to Kjøller was a positive experience for Lunara Enterprise. Although Charcoal Saver was not selected for investment, we appreciated the time and care the team took to review our application. The feedback was thoughtful, personalised, and demonstrated that our business had been carefully considered rather than receiving a generic response.
We especially appreciated the recognition of the research behind our product and the clear explanation of the decision. As an early-stage startup, constructive feedback like this is valuable and helps us continue improving as we prepare for future fundraising.
Thank you to the Kjøller team for your professionalism, transparency, and respect throughout the process. We would gladly recommend Kjøller to other founders looking for an investor who takes the time to provide meaningful feedback.
Working with the Kjøller team on financing structures for mandates was really fantastic. The attention to detail, understanding the specifics and engaging with a view to ensure alignment. The team is well positioned to deploy efficient capital and it's great to see a firm with a team ready to make deals happen. Thank you.

Thank you for your collaboration, you have given me a very helpful information about how start-up businesses would match your requirements but more importantly, you guided me a link that I can still revert for application in next time I would like to apply. So thank you.
I have had a very fine and valuable experience with this Investment Company. Even though I have not yet accessed funds, I was appropriately directed - after due explanation was given - to other relevant stakeholders which I believe will convert. Thank you for this opportunity.
I feel happy because after reviewing my work, you were able to provide important links that I am pursuing. I hope to come back when my business has stabilized, and I am also redesigning my organization, and I reach out again.

Dear Kjoller, this is to reflect on our recent encounter where I pitched my proposal. In my opinion you were very professional and straight forward, as we speak my team and I are building another project which we would like you to see. Please keep up the good work and build a good future with those who believe..
Professional, transparent, and human. Although Kjøller passed on our deal due to a timing mismatch, the feedback was really helpful. Instead of a generic rejection, I received a personalized, empathetic response with actionable advice and relevant investor leads.
Working with Kjøller has been a game-changer for our team. Unlike traditional firms that keep you waiting for weeks with generic updates, the team at Kjøller stands out for their efficiency, speed, and complete transparency. Their feedback is pragmatic, direct, and focused on real business fundamentals rather than vanity metrics. If you’re a founder looking for investors who respect your time and bring genuine value to the table, I couldn't recommend them enough.
Kjoller is very interested in investing in viable profitable companies, You can tell from their investment portfolio of companies, In addition to that their prompt response time is very commendable unlike myriad of other investors who don't respond back to founders, they give valuable and insightful feedback and that's something personally appreciate.

Thanks for giving me the chance to apply I suggest that you give a chance to the founder to present his project during a short meeting rather than taking a decision based on the questioner, open discussion always helpful to get clear picture about the dream of people

Even though we did not meet your criteria for investment yet, we are very thankful for the help we could get. It was great talking to you guys and we hope we can get together in the future as soon our company will be ready.
We explored along with Kjøller the pssibility of a fundraising and, although we didn't end up being a structural fit for this round, the process was among the best we've experienced with any investor. Response within hours, not weeks. A pre-screen that asked the right financial questions instead of vanity metrics. Complete transparency about their investment framework, so no time was wasted on either side. And even after passing, the team took time to share thoughtful, researched suggestions for our raise. Speed, directness and honesty are rare in this industry. Kjøller delivers all three. We would gladly work with them in the right context in the future.

As a technical founder, navigating the early-stage fundraising landscape is often slow and bureaucratic. Applying to Kjøller was a refreshing contrast. Their team is exceptionally fast, highly professional, and they provided me with a detailed, hand-curated list of localized recommendations and actionable advice within 24 hours of my submission. Their respect for founders' time and technical efforts is highly appreciated. I am proud to represent my startup b4n1 (https://b4n1.com) in their network.

Bamigbaiye WaleMr.
Your response is swift,sensitive and professional. However , you position are rather rigid and not startup friendly . I know as a start up , the investment risk is high and that was why i am open to any investment safeguard mechanisms, like higher return on investment and investors participation and representation in the board and management of the business in addition to shareholding. I am reading and willing to reduce the volume of my financial request to your acceptable limit for me to be given an opportunity to achieve my dreams
Applying to Kjøller was a valuable experience. Although Hoveritx was not selected at this stage because we are still pre-revenue, the entire process was professional, transparent, and encouraging. The feedback we received helped us better understand what investors look for and reinforced the importance of reaching key business milestones before seeking investment.
I appreciate that Kjøller takes the time to evaluate founders thoughtfully and communicates decisions respectfully. The experience motivated us to continue building Hoveritx and validating our business model. I would encourage early-stage founders to apply when they have strong traction, as the process itself provides valuable learning and insight.
We would like to thank you for this excellent experience working with your team. We particularly appreciated your speed, clarity in communication, and the professionalism you demonstrated throughout the entire process.
Even though we have now closed this deal, this process has allowed us to better understand investor expectations and strengthen our approach. We are currently continuing our fundraising efforts for Narry Tech Group and have also made progress in our discussions with a banking institution that wishes to support us in this phase.
We remain grateful for this opportunity and hope to have the chance to collaborate with you again in the future on new ventures.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the prompt and transparent response regarding my financing request.
Over the years, I have submitted more than 200 fundraising applications to various venture capital firms and investment funds for different startups.

Thank you once again for your time, consideration, and constructive feedback. I truly appreciate the opportunity to have been considered and hope to have the chance to engage with your team again in the future.
I recently submitted Kiasi Financial Technologies Limited to Kjøller for consideration. While our company was ultimately not selected, I appreciated the professionalism and transparency throughout the process.
The application was straightforward, and the communication was clear and respectful. Receiving a follow-up request for feedback after the decision shows that the team is genuinely interested in improving the founder experience, which is something I value.
Although the outcome was not what we had hoped for, I had a positive experience interacting with the Kjøller team. I would recommend founders looking for funding opportunities to consider applying if their business aligns with Kjøller's investment focus.

My experience with Kjoller was excellent. They responded quickly, were very transparent about their investment criteria, and took the time to explain why Sure Aid Foundation wasn’t a fit while also recommending grant funders for non-profits. Even though we didn’t partner, their professionalism and respect for our mission left a strong impression. I highly recommend Kjoller to profit revenue business that might need founding.

Working with the team at Kjoller has been an incredibly high-value experience for Snearal. They didn't just give surface-level advice; they genuinely engaged with our unit economics, positioning, and core execution details. The investor lists and KPI tracking tools they provided are practical, actionable resources that have given us immense clarity as we transition from theory to market launch. If you are a founder looking for sharp, rigorous, and supportive partners who actually understand the grind of building a business, I highly recommend Kjoller
Steven went above and beyond throughout the process. Even though we weren't the right fit at this stage, he took the time to share thoughtful guidance and introduced me to additional investors and resources that could be a better match for our venture.

I'm incredibly grateful for his direction and hope that, as our venture grows, we'll reach a stage where we can work together in the future.

Although KaliForge Alliance was not selected for investment, I had an exceptionally positive experience with Kjøller.
The review process was professional, respectful, and transparent from start to finish. Rather than sending a generic rejection, the team took the time to provide thoughtful feedback on our business, clearly explaining why we were not yet investment-ready and what milestones we should focus on next.
What impressed me most was the practical guidance they shared, including recommendations of investors and funding organisations better suited to our current stage. This level of honesty and support reflects a genuine commitment to helping entrepreneurs grow, even when an investment is not the right fit.
As a refugee-led social enterprise building solutions in Kakuma, I deeply appreciated being treated with respect and encouragement. I would gladly recommend Kjøller to founders looking for straightforward feedback, professionalism, and an investor who values long-term relationships.
Kjøller has demonstrated a professional and transparent approach throughout our interactions.

Although Vida Monitoring Systems wasn’t the right fit at this stage because we’re still pre-MVP, I truly appreciated the time, professionalism, and respect your team showed throughout the process.
Every interaction was honest, encouraging, and constructive. Rather than simply saying “no,” you provided thoughtful feedback that will help us continue building a stronger company.
As a founder, I understand that investment decisions have to align with a firm’s investment criteria. I respect that completely. I hope to reconnect once we’ve completed our MVP and pilot program, and I’m grateful for the positive experience.
Thank you for treating founders with dignity and respect. I would gladly recommend your team to other entrepreneurs.

Firstly, Kjoller’s efforts are commendable, as it is somewhat uncommon to encounter a well-structured and predominantly straightforward organization that offers investment support in this manner, unlike others. Moreover, it was easily accessible, allowing any submitter to readily identify areas for improvement and assist in re-strategizing for future endeavors.

Thank you for your professional support and valuable guidance Highly recommended
The rating is about the application process: 1. The quickest review I've ever seen (I got a response in less than 24 hours). 2. The answer includes advice on further steps. 3. This company is deeply integrated into the market, providing additional support, and you feel it even at the application stage. Highly recommend — they definitely stand out of the crowd and super open. You don't hear from them from the 1st second that they only accept 0.00001% of super genius founders.
The Kjoller team was professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. Even though our startup was at a very early stage, we appreciated the opportunity to present our vision and receive consideration. Their founder-friendly approach and transparent communication made for a positive experience. Wishing the team continued success in supporting early-stage startups.
Our experience with Kjøller was extremely positive. Although we ultimately concluded that the proposed investment structure was not the right fit for Daikou Finance due to the Cambodian regulatory and banking environment, the team handled the entire process with professionalism, transparency, and respect.
The discussions were thoughtful, constructive, and focused on understanding our business rather than simply promoting an investment product. We particularly appreciated the detailed feedback, honest communication, and valuable introductions to other impact investors and funding opportunities.
I would highly recommend Kjøller to founders seeking an investor who values long-term relationships, open dialogue, and professional engagement.
Although BukaFinder was too early for investment, I appreciated Kjøller's thoughtful feedback and transparent communication. The insights on product-market fit and growth were valuable, and the process was professional from start to finish.
We submitted an early-stage industrial biotechnology case to Kjøller and had a fast, clear and constructive process.
Although the company was not the right fit for Kjøller’s current investment model due to stage, the feedback was thoughtful and specific. The team took the time to understand the case, the validation work and the execution risks, and explained the stage mismatch clearly.
They also shared useful guidance on what type of investors would be more suitable at this stage. For founders, that kind of transparent and respectful feedback is valuable, even when the outcome is not an investment.
My experience with Kjøller was outstanding from start to finish. Although Stock Now Pay Later was not selected for investment, the process was one of the most thoughtful and founder-friendly experiences I have had.
What impressed me most was the quality of the feedback. Rather than sending a generic rejection, the investment team took the time to explain why our company was outside their current investment scope, highlighted the strengths of our business model, and shared practical advice on how to strengthen our fundraising journey. They even suggested a list of investors that would be a better fit for our stage, which was incredibly helpful.
The relationship also did not end with the investment decision. Kjøller continued to engage by inviting me to join their Board List and Referral Program, demonstrating that they genuinely value long-term relationships with founders and recognize expertise beyond a single investment opportunity.
Whether or not you receive funding, you can expect professionalism, transparency, constructive feedback, and genuine respect for founders. I would gladly recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs looking for an investor that values thoughtful dialogue and lasting relationships.

We appreciate the time and consideration given to our company and would gladly recommend Kjøller to other founders seeking thoughtful and founder-friendly investors.
For me it was a really good experience; unfortunately, we weren't able to work together. But every time I submit a project, I receive meaningful feedback that shows that someone took some time to read and review it, and I think that's really important.
My experience with Kjoller has been meaningful. What stands out most is the time and attention they dedicate to carefully reviewing the journeys of early-stage businesses, with genuine interest and respect for each founder’s vision.
Their feedback is delivered with clarity, structure, and kindness, making their advice both accessible and actionable. Beyond evaluation, they provide valuable insights and expertise that can help strengthen and elevate young enterprises.
I believe Kjoller can play an important role in enhancing the visibility and growth potential of emerging businesses, wherever they are based in the world.
Kjoller has one of the most professional and founder-friendly investment evaluation processes I've experienced. Even though our company wasn't the right fit for their current investment thesis, their detailed feedback, transparency, and valuable fundraising guidance were truly appreciated. The team genuinely takes the time to understand founders and adds value beyond investment. Highly recommended for startups seeking thoughtful and professional investor engagement.
As the Beelagroup "RabbitFounder" that focuses on the long-term Vision of the Beelagroup, being connected with your team and the proactiveness you give to those requesting capital from you team is indeed vital. Because as entrepreneurs with purpose driven projects we need teams that can rapidly react to information and make decision and your investment team is doing just that.
Filling out Kjøller’s application form was a highly valuable experience. The questions really make you think deeply about your business fundamentals. The response was incredibly fast—and even though it wasn't the decision we hoped for, the personalized feedback and recommendations were genuinely useful. We are now focusing heavily on scaling our revenue; if we do it right, we might not even need an investor down the road. Highly respect their quick and professional approach.

Tariq MalikFounder, Project GO
Although Project GO was not a fit for Kjøller's current investment stage, I had a very positive experience throughout the process. The application was well structured, the review was thoughtful, and the feedback was personalized rather than generic. I particularly appreciated the transparency in explaining the decision and the effort made to recommend alternative investors and useful resources.
As a suggestion, there may be an opportunity to further strengthen your ecosystem by helping promising early-stage startups bridge the gap between product readiness and commercial traction through introductions, strategic partnerships, or other suitable support mechanisms. This could create stronger long-term relationships with founders and potentially lead to future investment opportunities as these businesses mature.
Overall, I would confidently recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a professional, transparent, and respectful investment evaluation process.

Got a feedback within a day! Even though it was negativ decision it was a great feedback why. Furhtermore, we got some advice and even other contacts from investors which could be interested.
We applied for funding, the answer was unfortunately no, whilst we would argue Kjoller's judgement was poor in this instance, the dealings were very professional and helpful including the follow up. My guess is that these would be good people to work with.

I had a very positive experience with Kjøller Investment during the review of our funding application for Leaf Wrap EcoPak Studio. Although our loan application was ultimately not approved, I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism, transparency, and thoughtful feedback provided throughout the process.

Even though Kjøller couldn't fund my project at this stage, the team went above and beyond. They generously guided me through the process and showed me exactly how to secure seed funding elsewhere. Their expert advice has been incredibly meaningful and directional for my startup. I highly recommend them for their honesty, professionalism, and genuine support for founders!
I submitted Gemora to Kjøller and, while it was not a match this time, I appreciated the quality of the process. The questions were thoughtful and helped me clarify how I present the product, the market, and the core problem we are trying to solve.
What stood out to me was that the review process felt serious and founder-friendly, not generic. It gave me a useful structure to reflect on Gemora and prepare better for future investor conversations.
For early-stage founders, I think Kjøller is a helpful place to test how clearly you can explain your company and receive a more thoughtful look at your case.
Wwe sincerely appreciate Kjoller's swift response in helping out with pointers towards potential qualified funding sources for our three revenue generator project existing of: Sustainable timber logging to export of added value kiln dried timber products like Parquet flooring and decking along with an integrated Agro-Forestry Premium Cacao project in its timber concessions which will comply for carbon credits as the third revenue generator for the investor as well. This is a credible project, with 5 year ROI on it's timber investment, ready for due diligence. We proceed with ultimate care and patience towards identifying the right investor party.

Although we didn't end up working together because our investment requirements exceeded their current offering, our experience with Kjoeller was very positive. Their team was professional, supportive, and genuinely encouraging throughout the process. They took the time to understand our project and even encouraged us to continue pursuing larger investors. That kind of honest support and professionalism is greatly appreciated, and we wish them continued success.
From our perspective, the engagement has been exemplary from the outset. Every stage of the evaluation process was conducted with a high degree of professionalism, transparency, and respect, reflecting the standards one would expect from a disciplined institutional investment firm. Throughout our interactions, the communication was timely, courteous, and constructive, regardless of the outcome of the assessment.
We particularly appreciated the thoughtful approach taken in reviewing our business, the quality of the dialogue, and the willingness to provide meaningful feedback rather than a generic investment decision. Your observations demonstrated a genuine understanding of the complexities associated with building a mining platform across multiple African jurisdictions and offered valuable strategic insights that will contribute positively to our continued development.
Equally important, the process reinforced our confidence that Kjøller values long-term relationships and treats entrepreneurs with fairness, integrity, and respect. It is refreshing to engage with an organization that recognizes the effort invested in building an ambitious business while maintaining openness and professionalism throughout the decision-making process.
It would therefore be my pleasure to share our experience through a review, highlighting the quality of the engagement, the professionalism of your team, and the constructive nature of the evaluation process. I believe founders and management teams considering engagement with Kjøller would benefit from understanding the high standard of communication, diligence, and mutual respect that characterized our interactions.
We had a great engagement with Kjøller during our investment quest. The team engaged with our case in real depth, with thoughtful, structured, and founder-respectful diligence and the experience throughout was genuinely excellent. The level of care Kjøller brings as an investment firm is rare, and exactly what founders want when they are choosing who to partner with. We recommend Kjøller to any founder building something serious.
Professional, transparent, and constructive investment review process. The team took the time to understand our business and provided detailed feedback. A positive experience that helped strengthen our future fundraising approach.
I did not expect such a fast response. Not only speed, but also the feeling that someone has taken the time to go through your application, give you his opinion, some suggestions and additional information really impressed me.
My experience with Kjøller was professional, respectful, and transparent from start to finish.
The application was reviewed thoughtfully and I received a clear explanation of the decision. Rather than a generic reply, they took the time to explain what the decision was based on, and gave me valuable clarity on what milestones to focus on next.
I also appreciated the additional resources and relevant investor suggestions they shared. They went over and above my expectations, and I found it to be a generous gesture that reflected a genuine interest in supporting founders.
I came away with greater clarity, renewed focus, and a great deal of respect for the professionalism and integrity of the Kjøller team. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Rock Stable did not get the investment, but we got a very thoughtful and very useful response. This puts Kjoller above the rest of the angels and VCs I have approached.
The application process was straightforward and well-structured. My primary feedback, which I have already shared with the team, would be to refine and tighten the pre-screening criteria to ensure better alignment earlier in the process. The team was highly receptive to this and noted they would look into it.
Overall, it is a great initiative and a valuable starting point for entrepreneurs. Best of luck to everyone seeking funding!

While we were naturally disappointed that Sustainable Beekeeping for Development Company (SBDC) was not selected as a match, we appreciate the time and consideration given to our application. We found the submission process to be clear, professional, and user-friendly.

While our venture was not selected as a match, I appreciate the transparency and timely feedback provided. The platform offers founders an opportunity to present their businesses to potential investors and gain valuable insights into their fundraising readiness.
I also value the ability to access submitted case information for future investor applications, which can help entrepreneurs refine their fundraising strategies.
I would recommend Kjøller to startups and founders seeking exposure to potential investment opportunities and constructive engagement throughout the evaluation process.

I have enjoyed the brief encounter with KJoller, I appreciate the feedback received after my application was reviewed. It was a miss but we will improve and ensure that our next submission is more attractive. However, as a struggling entrepreneur it would be appreciated if start-up companies could be funded even if they present a low case but strong market segment

It was so great that you respond so fast. I am very excited for your responses and recommendations even though I did not meet your requirements for investment. Thank you.
Kjøller has provided me with valuable insights into investment analysis and business evaluation. Through their professional approach, I have gained a better understanding of company assessments, financial performance, growth potential, and investment decision-making. Their team demonstrates strong expertise, responsiveness, and a commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and investors alike.
I appreciate the transparency, professionalism, and educational value that Kjøller brings to its work. I would highly recommend Kjøller to anyone seeking reliable investment guidance and business development support.
It was a great opportunity each and everything they review was a properly in depth analysis of business and also gove proper feedback how to get more in business.
My experience engaging with Kjøller was highly professional, thoughtful, and constructive. The review process was handled with clarity, respect, and genuine attention to the business. The Kjøller team took time to understand our work around sovereign AI infrastructure, secure local AI adoption, and the opportunity for regulated sectors in Kenya and the wider region. What stood out most was the quality of feedback: it was specific, honest, and useful rather than generic. They also went further by sharing practical investor recommendations and guidance on the traction metrics we should strengthen as we continue fundraising. As a founder, I value investors who are disciplined in their decision-making but still generous with insight, and Kjøller demonstrated that balance well.
Good experience all round for me. Feedback was good even though a no was not what I was expecting, but they gave tips on where to improve and other VCs to talk to.
You get something positive from Kjoller regardless of whether you get an investment opportunity or not. It's just incredible service from start to finish.

Denzel-Jude MwaraniaMr.
Honestly cannot find anything to complain about. They got back to me sane day, they were clear, concise, to the point and I felt like I was speaking to a human being who cared. Walked away from the interaction feeling amazing, highly recommend.
A very prompt and professional response, based on the deep completed analysis. Helpful advices were given on how to secure future investments, as they were premature at this stage.
They were professional, thoughtful, and genuinely respectful throughout the process. GhostLogic was still a little early for their current investment focus, but they handled the conversation with clarity and care. The feedback was direct without being dismissive, and they clearly took the time to understand what we’re building.
As a founder, that kind of interaction stands out. Fundraising involves plenty of vague responses and wasted time, so it was refreshing to deal with a team that communicated clearly and treated the process with respect.
I’d absolutely recommend Kjøller to founders who may be a fit for their investment thesis.
It is extremely rare to receive such a structured and supportive response after a pass, and I truly appreciate the time Kjøller took to help point us in the right direction.
Incredibly detailed and thoughtful feedback. Even though it wasn't a match for Kjøller at this stage, the insights Kjøller shared were extremely helpful and genuinely valuable.
I have already begun following up on the resources and investor recommendations provided.
We had a very positive experience with Kjøller during the initial review of Gravity Fellow.
Although our company is currently too early for their investment mandate, the feedback we received was thoughtful, honest, constructive, and genuinely useful. The team clearly took the time to understand our business, technology, stage of development, and fundraising position, and they provided practical suggestions regarding investor fit, KPI tracking, and next steps.
For an early-stage deep-tech company, this kind of clear and respectful feedback is valuable. We appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and supportive tone throughout the process.
My engagement with Kjøller has been very professional, thoughtful, and efficient. From the initial application process to the follow-up communication, the team has been clear about what they are looking for and direct about the information needed to assess whether there is a strong fit. I particularly appreciated the practical nature of the questions, especially around traction, revenue, margins, growth potential, and use of funds. The process felt respectful of a founder’s time while still being thorough and commercially grounded. Overall, Kjøller comes across as an investor that values both the business opportunity and the people behind the company. The engagement so far has been constructive, transparent, and encouraging.
I had a very positive experience with Kjøller. Their team responded quickly, reviewed my business case thoroughly, and provided valuable feedback on both the strengths and areas for further development of the project. I particularly appreciated their professional approach, constructive analysis, and willingness to suggest additional funding opportunities and relevant investor networks. Even at an early stage of the dialogue, they demonstrated genuine interest and a high level of competence. I would highly recommend them to founders seeking serious and professional investment support.

I had a very positive experience with Kjøller??. Their team took the time to carefully review my submission and provided a thoughtful, professional response. Even though investment opportunities are highly competitive, I appreciated the transparency, respect, and genuine engagement shown throughout the process. Their feedback demonstrated a clear understanding of entrepreneurship and the challenges founders face when building and scaling businesses. It’s refreshing to interact with an investment firm that combines professionalism with a human approach. I would gladly recommend Kjøller to startups and founders looking for investors who value thoughtful dialogue and long-term business potential.
I appreciated the professionalism and thoughtful communication throughout the process.
Although REVOLUZZA.world was still at a very early stage and not yet the right fit for Kjøller’s current investment focus, I found the experience positive, respectful and encouraging.
Their investment philosophy strongly resonates with what I am building at REVOLUZZA.WORLD and I especially appreciated the personal feedback and encouragement I received.
The world is small, and I hope our paths may cross again in the future. I wish the Kjøller team continued success.

At this stage, Golden Group of Companies Inc. has not yet had the opportunity to work directly with Kjøller as an investor or business partner. However, through our engagement during the investment application process, we have been impressed by Kjøller's professional approach, responsiveness, and commitment to supporting growth-oriented companies.
We particularly appreciate Kjøller's focus on long-term value creation, strategic partnership, and hands-on support beyond capital. The emphasis placed on governance, financial discipline, operational improvement, and sustainable growth aligns closely with Golden Group of Companies Inc.'s vision of building a world-class, diversified enterprise that contributes meaningfully to Liberia's economic development.
We view this engagement as the beginning of a potentially strong and mutually beneficial partnership and look forward to exploring opportunities to work together in advancing business growth, job creation, infrastructure development, and sustainable economic impact.
We are encouraged by Kjøller's willingness to provide not only investment capital but also strategic guidance, fundraising support, bridge financing solutions, and access to international networks. These capabilities could significantly strengthen GGCI's growth trajectory and help accelerate our long-term development objectives.
Overall, our experience with Kjøller thus far has been positive, professional, and promising, and we look forward to the possibility of building a lasting partnership together.

I recently submitted Gainnovation Engineering Services Ltd (GEPS/DERDS) for review by Kjøller.
Although our company was ultimately not a fit for their current investment criteria, I was impressed by the professionalism, transparency, and quality of feedback provided throughout the process.
The review was thoughtful, constructive, and clearly based on a genuine evaluation of our business and technology rather than a generic response. The team took time to understand our long-term engineering project and provided useful guidance regarding investor alignment and fundraising strategy.
I appreciate the respectful communication and would recommend entrepreneurs seeking investment feedback to engage with Kjøller.
Kjøller demonstrates a highly professional, transparent, and entrepreneur-friendly approach to investment evaluation. What stands out most is their commitment to providing thoughtful and constructive feedback, even when an investment opportunity does not fit within their current mandate. Rather than issuing a generic rejection, the Kjøller team took the time to thoroughly review the SecondSeed Innovations proposal, acknowledge its strengths, and provide specific observations regarding the business model, team composition, risk management framework, and impact potential. This level of engagement reflects a culture of respect, diligence, and genuine interest in supporting entrepreneurs, regardless of whether an investment proceeds.
Equally impressive is Kjøller's willingness to add value beyond capital. Their proactive effort to identify alternative investors and funding institutions that may be better suited to the company's stage of development demonstrates a long-term relationship mindset rather than a purely transactional approach. The recommendations provided were relevant, practical, and tailored to the nature of the business, highlighting Kjøller's deep understanding of the agribusiness and impact investment landscape. This collaborative and supportive work culture makes Kjøller stand out as a credible, principled, and entrepreneur-focused investment partner that seeks to foster sustainable business growth while maintaining disciplined investment standards.
Great experience! We've been in conversations about caminspector.app, and the application process has been very fast and organized; they formulate the right questions to get accurate information about the different stages each startup could be in. Well done Kjøller!

I applied to Kjøller for startup funding and was genuinely impressed by their approach. Their communication was professional, transparent, and respectful throughout the process. Even as an applicant, I found their feedback and willingness to engage with founders to be thoughtful and valuable.

Although they couldn't invest because im too early in the process, they still went out of their way to be helpful and sent me a list of alternative investment avenues.
Kjøller was one of the most valuable experiences we've had during our fundraising journey. Although Be-Healthy.AI was ultimately outside their investment scope, the team provided thoughtful, constructive feedback and shared relevant resources and alternative investor opportunities that genuinely helped us move forward. Their professionalism, transparency, and founder-first mindset demonstrate that they create value far beyond capital.
Professional and straightforward process. The team was responsive, respectful, and transparent in their communication. While our company was not selected, I appreciated the opportunity to present our startup and receive consideration.
Merci pour les partages d'informations et les opportunités que vous offrez. Nous recommandons aux PME-start-up de participer à vos offres d'investissement
My first impression of Kjøller is how quickly they responded to my application. Though my company wasn't a match, and I didn't secure any funding, I really appreciated their efficiency in responding within 24 hours. I imagine they probably received hundreds or thousands of applications, but still found a way to respond promptly. I was really grateful for that. Also, I appreciated the fact that their response was not generic at all. It addressed my company's specific situation and even though my expectation wasn't met in terms of funding, I found all their recommendations really valuable.

The feedback was helpfull for future applications.
Very professional and respectful experience. Even though PRB Solution was not the right fit at this stage, Kjøller gave us clear feedback, honest reasoning, and useful recommendations for future investors, partnerships, and KPI tracking. I appreciate the time they took to review our case and provide helpful guidance.
Thank you sincerely for the constructive feedback regarding our stage and geography. We highly appreciate your professional approach in directing projects toward more suitable options, and we will focus our efforts within that context.
I applied to Kjøller as a very early founder, one month into revenue. What I got instead was one of the most thoughtful processes I have been through with any investor.
The application itself was substantial. The questions pushed on the things founders usually gloss over: real unit economics, runway logic, what downside protection I would and would not accept, the most honest reasons the company might fail. Answering them properly forced me to pin down numbers and assumptions I will reuse in nearly every investor conversation. That alone made the time worth it.
When the answer came, it came fast, within a day as promised, and it was a no on stage grounds rather than substance. But it was a generous no. The team took the company seriously, said clearly what they rated, and pointed me toward a list of funds that turned out to be a genuinely useful map of where I should be looking. Very few investors at the rejection stage bother to do that.
My honest feedback is simple. Kjøller treats early founders with rare respect, asks sharp questions, and moves quickly. I would tell any founder to apply.

I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller regarding Hamon Capital Ltd.
From the initial application to the final decision, the process was professional, transparent, and respectful. What stood out most was the quality of the feedback. Rather than receiving a generic rejection, the team took the time to carefully review our business and provide thoughtful insights into both our strengths and the areas that need further development.
As an early-stage founder, I particularly appreciated the honesty and clarity of communication. Even though Kjøller ultimately decided not to invest at this stage, the feedback provided was constructive, encouraging, and genuinely valuable for our growth journey.
The team demonstrated a strong understanding of startups and the realities of building a business in emerging markets. Their approach reflects a commitment to supporting entrepreneurs, even when an investment opportunity is not the right fit for their current criteria.
I would highly recommend Kjøller to founders seeking investors who are responsive, professional, and willing to provide meaningful feedback. The experience left me with a positive impression, and I hope to reconnect with the team as Hamon Capital continues to grow and achieve key milestones.

The team at Kjøller provided one of the most thoughtful and founder-friendly screening experiences I've had. Although Cadium was not yet at the right stage for investment, the feedback was detailed, constructive, and genuinely helpful.
They took the time to understand our vision of building AI-powered, enterprise-grade tools for SMEs in emerging markets and even shared relevant investor recommendations and practical advice on demonstrating traction and KPI reporting.
As the founder of Cadium (https://www.cadium.netlify.app), I greatly appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and encouragement from the Kjøller team. I would recommend their platform to other early-stage founders looking for honest feedback and meaningful guidance during their fundraising journey.

We had a very nice, warm and professional experience with KJØLLER it was interactive, productive, memorable and welcoming.
As a founder, I submit applications to many investors and funding platforms, and this was one of the most positive experiences I've had.
Although SoulSukh was not selected, the team reviewed our application and responded within just a few hours. What stood out was not the decision itself, but the way it was communicated. The feedback was clear, respectful, and constructive, helping us better understand where we can strengthen our proposition.
They also went a step further by sharing useful resources and suggesting other funding platforms that may be a better fit for our current stage. That level of thoughtfulness is rare and genuinely appreciated.
Rejections are part of every founder's journey, but this was one of the few times I walked away feeling encouraged rather than discouraged. The process was professional, transparent, and founder-friendly from start to finish.
I would gladly recommend Kjøller to other founders looking for a platform that treats entrepreneurs with respect and provides meaningful guidance, regardless of the outcome.

Kjoller asked good quesitons when we were applying for investment, had a quick reply too - that was awesome to hear a feedback right away. Guys, wish you luck in everthing you do - hope Kjoller grows further! 360logisitcs, Madi
Reached out to Kjoller regarding a development investment opportunity. While the project did not match their current investment criteria, their response was prompt, professional, and thoughtful. They took the time to acknowledge the merits of the opportunity and indicated they would keep the application on file for potential referral to other interested parties. That kind of genuine engagement reflects well on their team and process. Would not hesitate to approach them again with future opportunities.
Our experience with KJOLLER has been highly positive and encouraging. Although Saltucks Investment Limited was not able to secure investment at this stage due to our pre-revenue status, we greatly appreciate the professionalism, transparency, and constructive engagement demonstrated throughout the evaluation process.
The KJOLLER team provided valuable insights that helped us better understand investor expectations and the importance of building strong operational and financial traction before seeking external capital. Their feedback has strengthened our resolve to continue developing our paper production business and achieving key milestones that will enhance our investment readiness.
We commend KJOLLER for their commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and fostering sustainable business growth. Although we didn't succeed in this application, the experience has been motivating, educational, and helpful in refining our business strategy.
We look forward to the possibility of engaging with KJOLLER again in the future as Saltucks Investment Limited progresses toward becoming a revenue-generating and scalable enterprise.
Kjøller’s application process was clear, professional, and genuinely useful. Even though NeuVault was not the right fit for their current investment stage, the team took time to review the company properly and provide thoughtful feedback.
I especially appreciated that they understood NeuVault’s positioning around “document memory” and gave practical direction on what to focus on next: distribution, user acquisition, activation, retention, and revenue metrics.
The response did not feel generic. It gave clear reasoning, useful investor recommendations, and honest encouragement. For an early-stage founder, that kind of feedback is valuable.

David MauligenMr
I graduated with Bachelor Degree major in industrial psychology and minor in Public Policy Management in 2000 at University of Papua New Guinea and got employed by Department of Personnel Management, a National Government department responsible for managing public service human resources.
In 2012, I saw a need out there in the area of Human Resources Management, to assist government agencies review their organization structure, remuneration packaged, conduct recruitment & replacement and I decided to try it out , by register my company ( Creative Enterprises Limited).
I was successful in the area of business at that because very few of us are expert in those services.
Up until in 2020 when more companies were established and changes in technology, my clients switch to utilize other company.
The chance are low of securing other project and I then had to look into other business activities where there is need and I can benefit out of it. Just recently in 2025 I switch and engaged in repair and maintenance services to building etc properties of business houses and individual private properties.
The mission statement of my company always remind me to refocus, re-strategize and move forward.
My failures always help me to assess the progress of the company and re-strategize where opportunities comes.
I started off my business with no capital and from generated revenues, it help me all the way till 2000.
While maintaining the HR professional expertise, I tapped into repair and maintenance work where it is not my profession or trade. The tradesman personal use me to secure job and they come and work for me and I pay them.
While working with them, I am also learning from them and now I know all the work in the area of repair and maintenance work.
Our next move is to involve in the construction of new building etc.
I recently made a submission. Although our company was ultimately too early-stage for investment under their current mandate, I was genuinely impressed by the quality of feedback and the professionalism of the process.
Rather than receiving a generic rejection, I received thoughtful comments, practical fundraising guidance, and several relevant investor introductions and resources that will help us as we continue building.
For founders seeking serious investor engagement and constructive feedback, Kjøller provides a valuable platform. I appreciate the time and care their team invested in reviewing our application and wish them continued success supporting entrepreneurs worldwide.
I approached Kjoller about investing in the Outbox underground cycle garage. They were responsive and professional, but chose not to take the opportunity further (otherwise they would get five stars!)

My experience with Kjøller was very positive. Although Brivelous Farms & Organics was not yet at the stage that matched their investment criteria, the team treated my application with professionalism, respect, and genuine interest. I received thoughtful feedback, practical recommendations, and valuable introductions to relevant investors and support organizations. What impressed me most was the time they took to understand my business and provide constructive guidance for future growth. For early-stage founders, transparency and honest feedback are extremely valuable, and Kjøller demonstrated both throughout the process.

I had an excellent experience with Kjøller’s. Their team was professional, responsive, and highly committed to delivering quality service. From the first interaction to the final outcome, everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. What impressed me most was their reliability, transparency, and customer-focused approach. I would highly recommend Kjøller’s to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional partner. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.
The Kjoller team was incredibly professional and very true to their stipulated SLA. We submitted an application and within less than 24 hours received detailed feedback with invaluable insights.
Working through the pre-screening process with Kjøller has been an exceptional experience. As the founder of VelmaX Integrated Agritech Limited (https://velmaxagritech.com), I deeply appreciated the institutional rigor, transparency, and operational insight the investment team brought to our conversations. Even though our current capital timelines didn't perfectly align with their fund parameters, the constructive feedback and deep market guidance they provided were incredibly valuable for our growth strategy. Kjøller operates with world-class professionalism, and I highly recommend them to any founder looking for a serious, disciplined investment partner.

Applying with KJoller was a smooth experience from start to finish. Their communication was clear and consistent throughout the process.

I recently submitted a full investor application to Kjøller A/S through a listing I discovered via Investorlist on LinkedIn. While my application was ultimately not selected for investment at this time, I want to share an honest account of the experience because I believe the process itself deserves recognition.
The application structure Kjøller A/S uses is one of the most thorough and thoughtfully designed I have encountered as a founder. Rather than a generic pitch deck submission or a brief online form, they ask questions that genuinely challenge you to think deeply about your business, your risks, your ownership structure, your cash flow, your competitive landscape, and even your potential failure scenarios. Completing it was not easy, but it made me a sharper, more self-aware founder.
The questions were direct, fair, and clearly written by people who understand what it takes to build a sustainable business. That level of seriousness signals that Kjøller A/S approaches their portfolio with genuine care and long-term thinking, qualities that matter enormously when choosing an investment partner.
My application was not approved, and I respect that decision entirely. Early-stage startups operating from emerging markets carry real risk, and not every opportunity is the right fit at the right time. What I take away from this experience is not disappointment but clarity, about my business, my positioning, and the work still ahead of me.
To any founder considering applying to Kjøller A/S, I would say this: go in with honesty, prepare to be challenged, and use the process as a mirror. Whether or not they invest, you will emerge with a clearer picture of exactly where you stand.
I remain open to the possibility of reapplying as Juventus Sops Digital Brand grows, and I hold genuine respect for the professionalism and integrity of the Kjøller A/S team.
Kjoller Highly professional, transparent, and remarkably fast with their communication. Even though we weren't a direct match for investment this time, the team at Kjøller went above and beyond by providing valuable, constructive feedback and actively pointing us toward other funding opportunities that fit our profile. A truly founder-friendly firm that operates with incredible integrity
Thank you for the opportunity to present DEBS – Dualis Education Bilingual School to Kjøller.
Although my case was not selected at this stage, I genuinely believe DEBS represents a strong investment opportunity with significant long-term potential. DEBS is not simply a language school; it is a scalable educational model built around bilingual education, active methodologies, personalized learning, and the intelligent use of technology to improve how languages are taught and learned.
The project was created from many years of experience in language education, teacher training, bilingual coordination, curriculum development, and classroom practice. My goal is to build an institution capable of reaching students in Brazil and internationally, offering high-quality language education through a modern, human, structured, and inclusive methodology.
I understand that investment decisions require caution, timing, and strategic alignment. However, I strongly believe that DEBS has the potential to become widely recognized in the education market. What I need at this stage is not only capital, but a partner who can recognize the value of the vision, trust the founder behind it, and help transform a serious educational project into a broader business reality.
I appreciate Kjøller’s time and consideration. Even though this was not the right match for now, I hope the project may be reconsidered in the future, because I remain convinced that DEBS can grow into a strong, relevant, and internationally visible educational company.
I had a very positive experience with Kjøller. Even though my case was not selected, the feedback was thoughtful, clear, and genuinely helpful. I appreciate the transparency and the effort to provide useful guidance and alternative resources. A great example of how to treat founders with respect.
It's me and the stage of my endeavor and not them who have a problem. I'll continue with my business and make sure I'll pass after attaining a certain stage of productivity and revenue. Keep in touch.
My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in understanding NaffZara's vision, business model, and long-term potential. Their due diligence process was thorough and well-structured, asking thoughtful questions that encouraged deeper reflection on our strategy, market opportunity, and growth plans.
What stood out most was the respectful and constructive communication throughout the process. Regardless of the outcome, the feedback provided was valuable and demonstrated a genuine interest in supporting entrepreneurs and innovative companies. I would recommend Kjøller to founders seeking investors who take the time to understand their business and provide meaningful engagement.
While our venture, POWERFIX GENERATOR SERVICES, wasn't a match for Kjøller's current investment portfolio, the experience interacting with their team was highly positive. In the startup ecosystem, founders often face prolonged silence or vague responses from investors. Kjøller stands out by being incredibly direct, transparent, and prompt with their evaluation. Their honesty saves founders valuable time, allowing us to maintain operational momentum. We deeply respect their clear investment criteria, highly value their straightforward communication style, and certainly hope to collaborate with Kjøller on future infrastructure and technical automation projects as we scale. Highly recommended for their professional integrity.

I had a very thoughtful and professional experience with Kjøller. The team took the time to understand Fortifiy (https://fortifiy.com), our market, and our stage, and provided fast, clear, constructive feedback throughout the process. I especially appreciated the practical insights and guidance they shared during our discussions. It was a respectful, transparent, and valuable experience.

In today's world where attention is priceless, I was pleasantly surprised, that Kjøller was very responsive, kept to it's promise to give a decision within 24 hours! Although there was no match, yet Kjøller made recommendations on how we should proceed and kept the door open for assistance. I'm truly impressed by their professionalism, human touch and deep understanding of the needs of startups. I strongly recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs seeking honest and dignified feedback!

Je ne suis pas du tout content que kjolier ne soit en mesure d'accompagner les nouvelles entreprises qui n'ont pas encore dégager leur premier chiffre d'affaires. Merci.
The application process was Swift and encouraging and gives clue on what financing a startup looks like especially for a very early stage startup like mine (The NeuroSphere).
I truly appreciate the support and service provided. The response was professional, helpful, and thoughtful, with valuable information shared clearly. It shows a genuine effort to help, and I am very grateful for the guidance and recommendations. Highly recommended.
Although we were not able to come to a mutually beneficial deal, I was very impressed with the straightforward and prompt responses. Now that I have an idea of what you like to fund, I will definitely be recommending you to other startups and will reach out if I come across an enterprise that seems fitting.
Kjøller offered clear and constructive feedback which will help us as we grow Workverse (https://www.workverse.me). A very supportive and founder-focused VC.
I spent so much time filling out the questions only to find it was not a match, I was devastated because I run a tech startup I'm fully committed to and requires huge capital. However, I was compensated by the fact that you shared other links for me to try out so I can get funding, and you did give me good advice on how to go about it. Fundraising is a numbers game, the more doors I knock onto, the better my chances. Thank you for the opportunity.
The platform is well-designed and makes it easy to discover and access investment opportunities in one place. It's a valuable resource for founders navigating fundraising and growth. Thanks again for building such a useful platform and for supporting startups.

Although my pre-seed pitch for $280,000 did not align with their funding threshold (typically $500,000+), I felt genuinely valued because of the strength of my idea in proptech, fintech, real estate development, and sustainability. What stood out most was the quality of the interaction: instead of a simple rejection, I received thoughtful guidance and free consulting that sharpened my perspective. As an early-stage founder not yet generating $100,000 annually, this was invaluable. The conversation affirmed the unseen years of work I had invested before approaching them and gave me clarity on how to refine my path forward. Kjoller’s openness and constructive feedback made the experience feel less like a missed opportunity and more like a stepping stone. I left with greater confidence, sharper insights, and a renewed sense of purpose. For any founder seeking not just funding but wisdom, Kjoller is a remarkable investor to engage with.

Thanks to Kjoller team for timely feedback returned to me. Though my business didn't match to your eligibility requirements, you took time to dig up some possibilities to help me. As a result you sent me a detailed information on recommendations you thought could be of help to my search for funding.
Thank you again as am now motivated to work on all recommendations obtained from your team and maybe my dreams will be fulfilled
Speaking with Kjøller has been a great opportunity.
Love the clarity and genuine directions given on the stage. Love the way communications are responded. Would love to be in touch and grow with Kjøller when the time is right.
Even though Kjøller ultimately passed on our case due to current stage alignment, their evaluation process is absolutely world-class. Instead of a generic automated response, the investment team provided incredibly thoughtful, constructive feedback on our strengths. Exceptional still, they went completely above and beyond by sharing a curated, highly detailed list of alternative investor leads and strategic resources to aid our fundraising journey. It is incredibly rare to find an investment firm that treats early-stage founders with this level of respect, value, and genuine support. Working with Kjøller is an outstanding experience

Kjoller was very helpful for the investments I needed. I have already recommended them to my friends and will surely do business with them.
The support from the Kjoller team was excellent throughout the financing process. They answered most of our questions quickly and attentively, always striving to secure the financing opportunity. Unfortunately, our institutional policy could not be aligned with the investment profile that Kjoller was seeking at that time. Thanks Kjoller team.
I had a very positive experience working with Kjøller. Their feedback was clear, thoughtful, and truly encouraging, even though we weren’t a good match at this time. I really value the strong professionalism and the useful advice they gave, which offered great ideas for future projects. — Society With a Vision (SWV).
I had a very positive experience with Kjøller throughout the application process.
Although Indstrz was not selected for investment at this stage, the team reviewed our application carefully, provided transparent feedback, and took the time to share valuable investor recommendations and fundraising resources.
Their communication was professional, respectful, and genuinely helpful. In a fundraising environment where founders often receive little or no feedback, Kjøller stands out for its transparency and founder-friendly approach.
I highly appreciate the time and effort invested in reviewing our company and would gladly recommend Kjøller to other founders.
Throughout our discussions, they have been transparent about their investment philosophy and have taken the time to understand both our business model and growth plans in detail. Rather than focusing only on projections, they have asked insightful questions around unit economics, customer acquisition, recurring revenue, profitability, and execution risks.
What stands out is their willingness to engage in constructive dialogue and provide meaningful feedback that helps founders think more deeply about building a sustainable business. The conversations have been professional, respectful, and focused on finding alignment between founder objectives and investor expectations.
For founders seeking investors who value disciplined growth, financial clarity, and long-term business fundamentals, Kjøller offers a thoughtful and analytical perspective.

I believe you have clear focussed approach and that is appreciable.
Professional, transparent, and remarkably responsive. The team reviewed our application quickly, provided constructive feedback, and shared valuable guidance that was genuinely helpful.
I highly appreciated the speed at which I got a response even though I had not completed my initial questionnaire. Also, although I was not eligible for any financing consideration, I received good advice and alternate options to consider.
The evaluation of EyeGo AI was quick, honest, and very clear. I appreciated the recommendations and support materials provided after the decision, which will be useful for future investor applications. A smooth and supportive process for founders.
Our experience with Kjoller has been highly positive. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated professionalism, transparency and a genuine willingness to understand our business model and growth objectives.
What stood out most was the speed and quality of communication. Responses were consistently prompt, often arriving much faster than we expected, which helped maintain momentum throughout the engagement. Every interaction was thoughtful, constructive and focused on helping us better understand investor expectations and fundraising dynamics.
The team took the time to review our materials, ask insightful questions, provide honest feedback and share useful resources that will continue to benefit us as we progress on our fundraising journey.
I would highly recommend Kjoller to founders who value transparency, responsiveness, and a professional investment review process. Their approach is structured, respectful, and focused on creating clarity for both investors and founders.
I appreciated the simplicity of the submission process and the clarity of the information requested. Even though our startup KërDépot was not selected this time, the experience was positive and professional. The platform allows founders to effectively structure their investment proposal and identify the key elements sought by investors. Communications were transparent and respectful throughout the process. I recommend this service to African entrepreneurs who wish to better prepare for their fundraising efforts and obtain an initial assessment of their project. KërDépot – Smart platform for the digitalization of agricultural value chains in West Africa.
Applying to Kjøller investment rounds was quite an awesome process. Each question gave me time to deeply reflect on my business model and what I'm truly offering. I will also commend their quick response and offering to other opportunities and suggested options just incase a startup doesn't meet their requirements.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Kjoller Venture team for their thorough review of our company and idea.
The feedback and encouraging remarks shared during this process were immensely helpful, as they provided me with increased confidence and motivation to further develop our vision.
Although we are not a suitable candidate for investment at this time, I found the review process to be both valuable and informative. The insights gained have clarified what investors typically seek and the key milestones we need to focus on as we advance our company.
Thank you once again for your time, professionalism, and support. I look forward to continuing our journey and hope to reconnect in the future as we gain more traction and grow.
I recently went through Kjøller’s screening and review process with my company, Novoinno.
While we ultimately did not move forward with an investment due to differences in capital structure preferences, I was impressed by the professionalism, transparency, and speed of the process.
The team took the time to understand our business, asked thoughtful questions, provided direct feedback, and were clear about both the opportunities and limitations within their investment model. Even after it became apparent that a deal was unlikely, they continued the conversation in a constructive and respectful manner and shared several potentially useful introductions and resources.
As a founder, I appreciate investors who communicate clearly, respect a founder’s perspective, and are willing to have honest discussions about risk, structure, and alignment. My experience with Kjøller reflected those qualities.
For anyone considering engaging with them, I would encourage going into the process with a clear understanding of your capital needs and preferred financing structure. Even if there is not a fit, the dialogue itself can be valuable.
I submitted my application over the weekend and was surprised to receive a response in less than 24 hours.
What stood out most was not only the speed, but the quality of the feedback. The team clearly dedicates time and energy to reviewing applications.
Even if an investment opportunity does not move forward, they provide useful insights and practical guidance. It almost feels like receiving a first level of mentorship and support rather than simply a yes-or-no decision.

Professional, transparent, and founder-friendly. Even though Kjøller decided not to invest, they provided detailed feedback and valuable fundraising recommendations. I greatly appreciate their time and support.
Kjøller provided a professional and transparent experience throughout the application process. Although Glowbook was not selected for investment due to being earlier than their preferred stage, the team took the time to review our business carefully and provided thoughtful feedback rather than a generic rejection.
Their communication was clear, respectful, and constructive, and they even shared relevant resources and investor recommendations that may help us in our fundraising journey. I appreciate the honesty and professionalism shown by the team and would be happy to reconnect when Glowbook reaches a later stage of growth.
My experience with Kjøller has been highly positive. Although my venture was not selected for investment at this stage, the team took the time to provide a detailed and transparent assessment of my project. Their feedback was constructive, practical, and tailored to the realities of building a manufacturing business in a small island nation. I particularly appreciated the recommendations regarding investor readiness, strategic partnerships, commercial validation, and milestone development. The additional resources and contacts provided have given us valuable avenues to pursue as we continue developing our business. Kjøller demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and a genuine willingness to support entrepreneurs, even when an investment opportunity is not immediately suitable. I would gladly recommend Kjøller to founders seeking thoughtful feedback and engagement from experienced investors.

I like how quick you answer to questions and inquireries.
I submitted my startup, PEOSOL TECH, for consideration last month. While my case wasn't a match this time, I appreciated the structured process and the clear, prompt communication regarding the outcome.
The team followed up professionally, and I found the offer to access my submitted case information genuinely useful; it gives founders a solid reference point for future investor applications. The transparency and founder-focused approach stood out, even in a rejection.
I'd encourage other early-stage founders to submit their cases. The process is straightforward, and the feedback loop shows they genuinely care about improving how they engage with the startup community.

We recently had a conversation with the team regarding fundraising for Proffer.ae - an AI-powered, agent-free real estate transaction platform based in Dubai.
While we didn't move forward at this stage, the feedback we received was genuinely constructive and specific. Rather than a generic "not a fit," the team clearly outlined what milestones would make us a stronger candidate in the future.
That kind of transparent, criteria-based feedback is rare and valuable for early-stage founders. It gives us a clear roadmap rather than leaving us guessing.
We appreciate the time and thoughtfulness. Looking forward to revisiting this conversation.

Eritoa KookiaMr
Everything you have is good and simple to understand them but regard to the negotiation on the business deal, I prefer that you have some specific procedures that can be flexible for both parties.
Our business deal is not yet finalize because we both need to clear some other information.
Kjøller has a clear and founder-friendly application process. Although Solar Asia’s case was not a match at this stage, I appreciated the structured questions, quick response and professional communication.
The process helped us present our business more clearly, especially around our clean-energy, storage, AI and robotics expansion strategy. I also found the additional Board List opportunity useful, as it allows experienced operators and founders to stay connected with potential portfolio-company opportunities.
Overall, Kjøller appears to be a serious and practical investment group with a transparent approach to founders.
Kjoller is a very serious and respected company. We intend to add our KPIs to the Kjoller KPIs Trackers so that, in the future, we may have the opportunity to receive support from the Kjoller team in scaling our business.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We will continue working with dedication on our startup, Beracha Tech, especially on our product BeraStays.com, an innovative way to find short-term and monthly stays across Africa.
Although our application for investment from Kjøller did not result in the preferred outcome, we greatly value their honest feedback and the time they dedicated to reviewing our submission. Their engagement alone was meaningful, and it provides a positive signal of their approach if our proposal was well aligned with what they seek.
Love the process. I got very good feedback on my application pretty fast and even though I did not end up with the cheque, they pointed me in the direction of other investors who might be a better match for us and the process opened my eyes to so many other things I should consider as I talk to investors.
I submitted my company’s application to Kjøller in late 2025. While they ultimately decided not to invest, the process was professional throughout, they were responsive, communicated clearly about their decision, and have continued reaching out with opportunities like their Board List program. Even as a rejected applicant, my impression of the firm has been positive. They take time to engage with founders beyond the immediate investment decision, which is rare.
Although we didn't get funding from Kjoller, we really appreciated their prompt and honest response and feedback, and the useful suggestions given to us. Thank Kjoller.

Luca PetrucciFounder & CEO, Board Game Social Club
Even though Board Game Social Club was ultimately not a match for Kjøller's investment thesis, the experience was extremely positive.
The response time was fast and professional throughout the entire process. What we appreciated most was the time and effort dedicated to providing meaningful feedback on our project, despite the negative outcome. This level of transparency and respect for founders is unfortunately not always common in the investment world.
We were even more impressed by the additional suggestions and resources provided, including recommendations for tools, investors, and funding opportunities that might be a better fit for our business. It showed a genuine willingness to help startups move forward, regardless of the investment decision.
We highly recommend Kjøller to any founder looking for a professional, founder-friendly investor network. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future as Board Game Social Club continues to grow.

Kjoller shows strong alignment with Ibefu Global’s farm project and long-term vision. His focus on sustainable yields, strict processing standards, and fair farmer income makes him an ideal partner as we scale our export operations.
We are currently in advanced discussions and are proud to share a vision for building world-class African agribusiness together.

We appreciate the opportunity to have submitted Sunken Limited’s case for consideration. Although it was not a match at this stage, the process was clear, professional, and valuable for us as founders. The questions helped us reflect more deeply on our business model, impact, growth plans, and investor-readiness.
We particularly appreciated the structured approach and the opportunity to present our work in clean cooking, last-mile distribution, and climate impact in Kakuma and Kalobeyei. The experience has provided us with useful material that we can refine and use in future investor engagements and funding applications.
We would recommend Kjøller to founders and enterprises seeking a thoughtful platform to present their business case and explore potential investment alignment.
Kjoller , was cordially , responsive and constructive in their feedback. The application was thorough and I will definitely be looking to re-engage them once we have gained more traction.

Kjoller's team was very professional in their communication, not only were they transparent and detailed about their investment strategy but they also gave plenty of ideas for my next milestone. This is the kind of investor you want to discuss opportunities with.
even though we are too early for Kjoller, we received a very detailed feedback and suggestions of other VCs and opportunities for our current stage - and it was super helpful!

I had a great experience working with Kjøller. Their team demonstrated professionalism throughout the process and clearly took the time to thoroughly review my application rather than relying on a superficial assessment.
One aspect I particularly appreciated was the speed of their response. The turnaround time was remarkably fast, and I was kept informed without having to wait long periods for feedback. Even though my application was ultimately not a match, the communication was honest, transparent, and respectful.
I would recommend Kjøller to founders and entrepreneurs seeking investment opportunities. Their efficient process, straightforward feedback, and professional approach make them a valuable partner for anyone looking to connect with investors.
As Marketing & Communications Manager at TruBuild, I appreciated the professionalism and transparency of Kjøller's review process.

If you are looking for an investment partner that combines professional rigor with a human approach and provides real value regardless of the outcome, Kjøller is the place to go. I am grateful for the insights and look forward to staying in touch as we scale.
This was by far the most helpful experience we've had on our fundraising journey. They really put an effort into helping us with further search and giving us advice on what to do next! Kjoller is definitely the team we would like to have by our side while building startup.
Very quick in response. The info asked brought out our shortcomings. We intend to systematically address them. Your review makes business sense. Sometimes you should consider that startups could offer greater promise if you do risk with some.
We applied for investment at Kjøller on behalf of Key4fit, and the experience stood out from the very first step. The application process was straightforward and well-structured, making it easy to present our business clearly. What really impressed us was the feedback we received. It wasn't a generic rejection — it was a detailed, honest breakdown of our business model, with specific observations about our strengths and the areas we still need to develop. That kind of insight is genuinely rare and incredibly valuable for a startup trying to find its direction. Whether or not the investment happens, going through Kjøller's process gave us a sharper perspective on our own business. Highly recommend applying — even just for the feedback alone.
Very professional and founder-friendly experience. The feedback was detailed, constructive, and genuinely helpful. I especially appreciated the transparency throughout the process and the effort taken to provide valuable fundraising guidance and relevant investor recommendations. A highly positive interaction overall.
I was very impressed with how professional the team at Kjøller is. From the very beginning, they communicated clearly, handled every detail with care, and made me feel confident throughout the process. Their expertise shows in the way they approach each step, and they always maintain a respectful and supportive attitude. It’s rare to find a company that combines efficiency with genuine courtesy, but they manage to do both seamlessly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and professional service.
Communication was very quality and every detail was clear. I`m a startup and i was looking for financing my project which is already prepared with all the details. But there were no chances for me this time.

Hi, I have shared a few deals with them. The response they give is very quick, and the team is very supportive. The ticket size is small and suitable for smaller companies looking for growth.
The feedback I got was extremely helpful and well thought out. I seriously appreciated the team's perspective and the actionable nature in which they spelled things out.
It was great interacting with the team at Kjøller who provided great advice on the best routes to funding for our company.
What I appreciated most was the quality of questions they ask in order to understand the past, current and future states of the business which in turn allows them to provide the best outcome.
I think every founder should start their fundraising journey with Kjoller. Even if you don't get funded you'll get a detailed feedback just on time instead of waiting for weeks or month to know what investors think about your business. In our case, we got a response within 3hrs after applying and it's the most detailed response we've ever received from an investor and they also recommended other investors that might be more suitable for our stage.
Professional, transparent, and highly structured in their approach. The team asked thoughtful questions, communicated clearly, and was respectful throughout the process. A positive experience and a credible organization to engage with.
I recently engaged with Kjøller regarding H2H Technology and was impressed by the professionalism and quality of the feedback provided throughout the process.
Although H2H was ultimately not the right fit for their current investment criteria, the team took the time to carefully review our company, provide thoughtful feedback, and share relevant introductions and resources that may help us as we continue to grow.
The communication was transparent, respectful, and constructive. For founders looking for investors who are direct, professional, and genuinely interested in helping entrepreneurs, I would recommend engaging with Kjøller.

Your Response time is fast. When one sends an application in your website, you are generating a serial number. It is good. But instead of one has to writing it, it would be nice if that number be send to the applicants email. I came to know about your company by LinkedIn.
We would like to thank the fund’s team for their attentive and professional approach.
We completed the survey in detail and felt that our effort did not go unnoticed. As a result, we received helpful recommendations on the next steps, which gave us a clearer understanding of how to move forward.
We would also like to highlight the fund representative who answered our additional questions. They were extremely courteous, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the communication.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and respectful approach.
It has been a great experience for us as a Southeast Asian startup to collaborate with and work alongside Kjoller on our fundraising journey. Raising capital globally can be particularly challenging for startups in Southeast Asia due to limited visibility and the complexities of cross-border engagement.
The Kjoller team made the entire process significantly smoother and less complicated. From the initial introductions and strategic guidance to the final investment offer, their support was professional, responsive, and highly valuable. The investment options presented were fair and well-aligned with company's short- to mid-term growth objectives, providing the flexibility and resources needed to support our expansion plans.
We appreciate their commitment and expertise in helping startups navigate the fundraising landscape and would recommend Kjoller to other companies seeking growth capital and strategic investment support.
Thank you for reviewing MargKen Beads & Clothing Training Centre and for the opportunity to share our work.
While I was naturally disappointed that our funding request was not selected, I appreciate the transparency and professionalism of your process.
MargKen is more than a vocational training centre. We are building a scalable skills-development and creative manufacturing ecosystem that equips young people, women, and persons with disabilities with marketable skills, entrepreneurship training, and pathways to sustainable employment. Our vision is to transform vocational education into a driver of economic empowerment and inclusive growth across Ghana and eventually West Africa.
Over the years, we have trained hundreds of learners in bead artistry, fashion, and creative entrepreneurship, many of whom have gone on to start their own businesses or secure income-generating opportunities. We are currently pursuing an ambitious expansion plan to create a disability-friendly training and manufacturing hub that will significantly increase our capacity and impact.
Although our proposal may not have aligned with your current investment criteria, I believe organizations like MargKen represent the type of high-impact, underserved opportunity capable of generating meaningful social and economic returns. I would welcome the opportunity to remain in contact should your investment priorities evolve or if future funding windows become available.
Thank you again for your consideration, and I wish Kjøller continued success in supporting founders and impact-driven ventures worldwide.

My experience with Kjoller was a pleasant and valuable one, full of useful information and guidance. Although, in the end, it was not the right match for us at this stage, the process helped me gain a much clearer understanding of the investment journey and the steps involved. The guidance and insights they provided helped me better understand what areas I need to improve within my company in order to be better prepared for attracting the investment needed to grow and scale the business. Overall, I truly appreciated their professionalism, transparency, and support throughout the process.
Although Martyrs Clean Solutions was ultimately not a fit for Kjøller's investment model, I found the process highly professional, transparent, and efficient. The team took time to understand our business, asked thoughtful questions, and provided clear feedback throughout the evaluation process. I particularly appreciated the prompt communication and constructive discussions, which helped us better understand investor expectations and strengthen our fundraising strategy. While we did not proceed with an investment, the experience was valuable and respectful from start to finish. I would recommend Kjøller to founders seeking direct, honest, and transparent investor engagement.
Kjoller team is very professional, have analyzed the business very quickly. They have asked the right questions that gave very good feedback to gather additional data and improve my pitch slides. The guys are very trustworthy and overall gave me a very good experience interacting with them. I strongly recommend startups in pre-seed stage to approach Kjoller.

Professional and transparent experience. While our application was not a fit, the process was well-managed, communication was clear, and the team was respectful throughout.
Amazing people who genuinely tried their best to help me. Unfortunately, I was unable to provide the required documents, but I truly appreciate their efforts and support.
I was suprised by the depth Kjoller took to answer my question. Feedback and the quick response time was something that stood out from overall industry standards. Thank You and looking forward to next time when we can collaborate.
I gave 4 for the reason that I am satisfied with the turn of conversation during the course of questions and answer. The promptness of reply is unparalled. 1 point less, because even with such huge amount of explanation I still didnt get the funding.
Two months ago, I came across a post about an investment opportunity and clicked on it since I was looking for financing to build my firm, Global Green Project. We aim to generate 50,000 avocado seedlings in Rwanda.
I strongly believe in my concept as it is already bringing in cash flow and has a great influence on local communities. However, when I got in touch with Kjøller, I was no match for them at that time, because I was limited in my ability to give some key information.
I didn't get the funding, but I wanted to write this review anyway, because I really appreciate their process. The Kjøller staff was fast to respond, clear with their guidance, and encouraging in their follow-up.
They are more than an investment company; they truly spend time understanding your “why.”
To other business owners: I would recommend working with Kjøller and trusting them. In my experience, people treat you with respect even when they can’t write a check. Big thanks to the whole Kjøller crew.
I can't wait to share my wins for the future when my firm is a better fit for them!
did not get favourable response/expectation because apparently our business did not fit their line of investment. we asked to find out alternate investment vehicle or investors.
The application process was straightforward and easy to complete. Although our project was not selected, we appreciate the opportunity to present our work and receive consideration. We value the platform and the exposure it provides to early-stage founders.
The team at Kjøller was very responsive and helpful. They took our application within 24hrs and provided strong and clear guidance. We were beyond impressed by their human touch!

Thank you very much for the opportunity to present my business. Although it wasn't a match, I have received substantial, detailed review of my application. Hope to continue on the cooperation when my business is ready.
I had the opportunity to engage with the team during the review process for Kisan Group Pvt. Ltd. Although our application was ultimately not selected, I found the process to be professional, transparent, and well-structured.
The team communicated clearly, managed expectations appropriately, and provided a platform for innovative businesses to present their ideas. I appreciate the effort invested in evaluating applications and supporting entrepreneurs. I encourage the organization to continue strengthening its engagement with founders and startups. I wish the team continued success in identifying and supporting impactful ventures.
I appreciate the opportunity to submit Enough Vision for review. Although our case was not a match at this stage, the process was clear and useful for helping us reflect on our positioning, investment readiness, and future fundraising approach.
Enough Vision is building fintech and digital infrastructure solutions focused on financial inclusion, humanitarian transparency, and workforce development in South Sudan and emerging African markets. We value platforms that connect founders with investors and provide visibility for early-stage businesses working in underserved markets.
Thank you for the opportunity and for supporting founders through your platform.
I recently applied to Kjøller for funding and, although my startup was not the right fit for their current investment focus, the experience was genuinely positive.
The application process was detailed and required thoughtful preparation, but it felt less like filling out a generic form and more like a useful self-assessment and due diligence exercise. The team reviewed the application quickly and provided a decision within less than 24 hours.
What stood out most was the quality of the communication. Instead of sending a generic rejection, they provided personalized feedback and suggested several investors that would be a better match for my current stage. As a founder, I appreciated the transparency, efficiency, and respectful approach.
Even without receiving funding, the interaction added value and helped me better understand my fundraising path. I would recommend Kjøller to founders who appreciate direct communication, fast feedback, and a professional investment process.
We had a constructive and professional experience with Kjøller. Their approach to alternative financing, revenue-based investment structures, and founder-focused capital is clear, direct, and refreshingly different from traditional banking.
The team showed strong commercial understanding, fast communication, and a practical mindset toward growth companies. For companies seeking flexible capital and strategic financial alternatives, Kjøller is definitely a platform worth engaging with.
Kjøller’s feedback was clear, honest, and useful. I did not make the cut, but the engagement gave me more confidence in what I am building and greater clarity about how to strengthen the investment case.
The process was professional and respectful, and I appreciated receiving a copy of the information I submitted, even though it would have been helpful to have it earlier.
Thank you to the Kjøller team for the time, consideration, and constructive feedback.

Your prompt response to my request was very very quick. I am fully satisfied by the views expressed by you
Kjoller provided a professional and smooth experience throughout the process. Even though Timely was not ultimately selected, the communication was respectful, transparent, and founder-friendly. The platform made it easy to submit our case and present our startup clearly. I also appreciate the follow-up and willingness to gather feedback from founders. It shows that the team genuinely cares about improving their process and maintaining long-term relationships with startups. I would definitely consider applying again in the future and recommend founders to check out Kjoller if they are looking for new venture opportunities.
The conversation with the team was really excellent. And thanks for the cooperation throughout with regards to the investment aspect. Hoping to be associated in the future.
Working with Kjøller was a valuable experience for Guardians Solutions (Pvt) Ltd. Their platform provided us with an opportunity to present our business, growth strategy, and investment potential in a structured and professional manner.
Although our company was not selected for investment at this stage, the process helped us refine our business presentation and better understand investor expectations. The team was transparent, professional, and supportive throughout the evaluation process.
We appreciate the opportunity and would recommend Kjøller to startups and growing companies seeking exposure to potential investors and valuable feedback on their business cases.
Sanjaya Kumar CEO Guardians Solutions (Pvt) Ltd https://guardians.lk/
Our experience with your organization was positive overall. Although Dlect Technologies LTD was not selected as a match in this instance, we appreciated the professionalism of your team and the transparency throughout the evaluation process. The application and review process was straightforward, and communication was timely, clear, and respectful. We also appreciate your commitment to supporting founders and continuously improving your platform based on feedback from applicants. As a company focused on renewable energy solutions and digital innovation, we are currently developing Solasyst, a solar system design and analysis platform that helps solar professionals accurately size solar PV systems, battery storage, inverters, and energy consumption requirements. We believe initiatives such as yours play an important role in helping innovative companies gain visibility and access to growth opportunities. One area that could further enhance the experience would be providing more detailed feedback on unsuccessful applications. This would help founders better understand areas for improvement and increase their chances of success in future opportunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to be considered and look forward to engaging with your organization again in the future.

In the journey of being a founder, I appreciate any form of guidance I get and that was what stood out for me from the engagement I had with these guys. They shared some direction they thought I could go and that will help me. I appreciate it! Keep doing what you do, keeping dreams alive.
They gave valuable informations about other investment opportunities even if they refused my project. They suggested other alternatives. Thank you for the important feedback.

Marian KulischWalk. Encircle. Earn - CursusX / encirkl
I submitted CursusX / encirkl to Kjøller as an early-stage startup focused on location-based community engagement, real-world movement, local challenges, and smart city experiences.
Although the project was not selected, the application process was straightforward and professional. The feedback and additional resources provided after the review were helpful and may be valuable for founders preparing future investor applications.
Kjøller appears to be highly selective in its investment approach, which is understandable given the number of startups seeking funding. While the fit was not right in this case, I appreciated the transparent communication and the opportunity to present the project.
Marian Kulisch Founder, CursusX / encirkl https://cursusx.de
Professional, understanding and took the time to read my pitch and understand my business. Although not the right fit, I appreciated the thorough follow up and advice.
A very positive experience overall, even though our project wasn't the right fit at this time. Communication from Kjoller was consistently clear and responsive, and they went beyond expectations by pointing us toward other opportunities that are showing real promise. We'd welcome the chance to work with them in the future.
I had a very positive experience interacting with the Kjøller team during the review process for Letorea Learning Hub Limited.
Although our company was ultimately considered too early-stage for their current investment scope, the communication was thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely constructive from start to finish.
What impressed me most was the quality of the feedback provided. Rather than sending a generic rejection, the team clearly engaged with our application, highlighted the strengths of our business, and even shared relevant investor resources and fundraising recommendations tailored to our stage and geography.
As a founder, that level of professionalism and consideration stands out. It’s clear they value founders’ time and understand the realities of building a company from the ground up.
I also appreciated the transparency around their investment criteria and the practical suggestions they offered for improving fundraising readiness and tracking growth metrics.
Wishing the Kjøller team continued success in supporting ambitious founders and scalable businesses.
Extremely fast processing of applications with quick responses. The use of LinkedIn is extremely efficient. Thank you very much. We would be delighted if you could add funders and impact investors for certified carbon projects. Francis

Philip MbundaCEO
My experience with Kjoller has been very positive. Although my funding application was not a perfect match for their investment criteria, I was impressed by the professionalism, transparency, and encouragement shown throughout the process.
What stood out most was their constructive and motivational feedback. Rather than simply declining the application, they took the time to provide a thoughtful response that encouraged us to continue developing our business and pursuing suitable investment opportunities. This reflects a genuine commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses.
Kjoller demonstrates a founder-friendly approach, clear communication, and respect for applicants' efforts. Their engagement left a positive impression on our team and strengthened our determination to grow our company. I would recommend Kjoller to entrepreneurs seeking an investor that values innovation, impact, and meaningful relationships with founders.
Kjøller appears to be a reputable, professional, and founder-respecting investor that punches above its weight with hands-on support and efficient processes. It’s particularly suitable for post-revenue startups or growing businesses seeking capital and expertise in a transparent environment.
Although MÜUD was not selected in the end, I would like to recognize the professionalism and efficiency of the Kjoller INDP team throughout the process.
The application and evaluation stages were well organized, communication was clear and transparent, and decisions were delivered in a timely manner — something that is not always common in startup and innovation programs.
We truly appreciated the opportunity to participate, showcase our work, and engage with an initiative that is supporting innovative companies and impactful solutions.
Thank you to the entire team for a respectful, professional, and well-executed process. We wish the selected companies every success and look forward to future opportunities to collaborate.
Thank you for reviewing the Farhills Ceylon case and for your thoughtful response.
I understand that it wasn’t a match for your current investment thesis. I appreciate that you’re continuously improving how you work with founders.
I’ll take a moment to leave a review via the link you provided. I also reviewed my submitted information - it will definitely help me refine future applications to investors.
Farhills Ceylon is focused on Quantum Structured Water + PFAS-free packaging + Live Liquid Tea technology. We’ve filed 3 PCTs with WIPO in 2024/2025 and hold German + Japanese patents. If your investment focus expands into deep tech, sustainability, or functional foods in the future, I’d love to reconnect.
Thanks again for your time and for the backlink opportunity.
Best regards, Janaka Gunawardhana Founder & Principal Director Farhills Innovators Ceylon API - Association of Professional Inventors Sri Lanka
Working with Kjopller was a highly collaborative and insightful experience. Although we did not ultimately align on the final operating model and funding structure, the engagement was extremely valuable for both parties.
The team demonstrated professionalism, openness, and a genuine willingness to explore innovative approaches within the customer experience and outsourcing space. Through our discussions, we were able to exchange strategic insights, provide advisory support, and contribute meaningfully to shaping potential opportunities and solutions.
At Call Centre House (CCH), we value partnerships built on transparency, collaboration, and shared learning, and our interaction with Kjopller reflected exactly that. We appreciate the opportunity to engage with their team and look forward to potential opportunities to collaborate in the future.
KJoller despite not matching with my app gave a lot of insights on how i can progress very effectively. The amount of information given to me was quite an asset to my company.
Overall, it was a great experience. We did run into a technical glitch, though: even though we kept replying to Kjoller’s follow-up emails, they never seemed to receive our responses and the case was eventually closed.”
One thing I really appreciate about the application process was how detailed the form was. It focused on key metrics without the noise. The feedback after reviewing the applications was the most detailed feedback I'd have received idea-wise, product-wish and generally.

Alhassan Augustine Christian TurayFounder/Chief Executive Officer
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our application and for reviewing the Human Capital Institute–Sierra Leone (HCI-SL). While we are disappointed that it was not a match at this stage, we value the time and attention given to our submission.
As we continue to strengthen our enterprise, more structured feedback would be highly valuable. In particular, clearer insight into the specific areas of misalignment whether related to stage of growth, investment readiness, impact metrics, or sector focus would help us refine both our strategy and future applications. Even brief directional comments or a simple scoring breakdown would significantly improve how we learn from the process.
We also encourage continued transparency in selection criteria, as this helps emerging organizations like ours better understand expectations and prepare more effectively.
We remain committed to our mission and would welcome the opportunity to reapply in the future once we have addressed any identified gaps. We also appreciate any resources or guidance that can support capacity strengthening for organizations at our stage.
Finally, we appreciate the offer of visibility support and have included our website here: www.hcisl.net
We appreciate the opportunity to submit our case and engage with your platform. The process was clear and professionally handled, and we value the time taken to review our application.
We would welcome more structured feedback to help strengthen future applications.
At Smart Fundi Solutions, we remain open to future engagement and collaboration as we grow, including as a potential investment partner.
Thank you and we look forward to staying connected.

Thank you for taking the time to review Cognivox and provide detailed, constructive feedback. Even though the opportunity was not a fit at this stage, I appreciated the professionalism, transparency, and thoughtful evaluation of the idea.
The feedback was valuable and actionable, helping refine both the business proposition and go-to-market strategy. I also appreciated the suggestions regarding other firms and investors whose investment focus may be more closely aligned with the opportunity.
Thank you again for your time, insights, and willingness to support founders. It is greatly appreciated.
An outstanding investment consulting and advisory firm that delivers exactly what you need. By actively collaborating with the experts at Kjøller, you can confidently realize your strategic goals and objectives.
The folks at https://kjoller.com/ were very helpful in their feedback. They treated my proposal with utmost care, and I can't wait to reapply when my revenues hit 100k MRR. They were gracious enough to share links to possible funding options for early-stage startups that can help me take my publishing system infrastructure to the next level. I owe them for the FREE advisory.
Professional, quick, honest, and a pleasure to work with. Respectful throughout the entire process. Without a doubt one of our top three experiences with international investors.

Mercy KamauFounder
I had one of the most genuine and refreshing conversations with this investment team. Even though my venture wasn’t yet at the acceleration stage they typically invest in, they still took the time to give me thoughtful, investor-level feedback that completely shifted my perspective.
What stood out most was the human approach — they didn’t just assess the business, they connected with the vision behind it. They also went above and beyond by sharing a list of organizations offering seed capital opportunities that would better fit my current stage.
In a space where founder interactions can often feel transactional, their empathy, honesty, and willingness to help were incredibly rare. They felt like the kind of investors you’d truly want beside you on the journey. I’ll definitely be back.
I had a positive experience submitting my case to the team. Although FAMRO LLC was not the right match at this stage, the process was clear, respectful, and founder-friendly.
I appreciated the opportunity to present the business and receive consideration. The communication was professional, and the follow-up showed that the team genuinely cares about improving the founder experience.
For early-stage founders exploring investor conversations, this can be a useful platform to structure and share their case.
Understanding that your company seeks to secure a return exceeding six figures, we have presented a highly innovative and market-validated proposal. These figures are appealing, but achieving them requires the support of financial professionals, which we expected from you. We have also contributed our patents in Mexico and the USA, along with our extensive production knowledge (a disruptive packaging proposal is uncommon in this industry), and we anticipated more focused support. We have attempted to work towards these figures, but as designers, we have not yet been able to generate a financial response; this is our weakness. We would appreciate it if you would review our proposal and initiate a dialogue to foster growth.
A very competent team , with a great deal of involvement in assesing the company pedofile in order to understand as better as they can the status and the needs of the company , strongly filters after that and issuing a very strongilul skilled point of view argumented and also sustained by advices . I strong my recommending them as real professionals ,

I submitted my startup Bullz_events to kjøller 2 months ago. While it wasn't fit for their investment thesis, I really appreciated how they closed loop.
Working with Kjøller was a refreshing experience. Even though Women Unlimited Commercial was not selected as a match, the process never felt transactional or dismissive.
What stood out most to me was the level of professionalism and genuine support shown after the decision. Instead of simply declining the application, the team went the extra mile by sharing valuable links and recommendations to other potential funders and partners that could align with our vision. That kind of founder-centered approach is rare and deeply appreciated.
As a women-led initiative focused on impact, innovation, and economic empowerment, we value partners who understand that sometimes support goes beyond funding. Kjøller demonstrated exactly that.
The experience left us encouraged, better informed, and more motivated to continue building. I would highly recommend Kjøller to founders looking for a thoughtful, transparent, and ecosystem-driven investment partner.
We remain hopeful that our paths may cross again in future opportunities as our work continues to grow.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my case with you and the transparency of your evaluation process. Although Ubumuntu Charity Group was not a match this time, I value the clarity of your feedback and the chance to learn from the experience. Your platform provides a helpful space for founders to refine their ideas, and I look forward to applying the insights gained to strengthen future applications.
We recently submitted the case of D & B Pharmaceutical Company to the Kjøller team. Although our project was ultimately not selected, the overall experience was highly positive. The process was clear, structured, and respectful of founders’ time.
We particularly appreciated the transparency of the feedback and the opportunity to access the full submission afterward — a valuable resource for refining future applications. The communication was timely and professional, and the team demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our vision and industrial roadmap.
Even though we were not a match at this stage, we found the interaction constructive and supportive. We would recommend Kjøller to other founders looking for a serious and well-organized evaluation process.
Although Gionova was ultimately not selected, I genuinely appreciated the professionalism and structure of the process throughout. The platform provided a valuable opportunity to present our business and helped us better understand how investors evaluate companies at different stages of growth.
The communication was clear, the submission experience was straightforward, and I also appreciate the transparency in providing access to the information we submitted for future applications.
For early stage founders, even receiving feedback and exposure to investor level review processes can be valuable in refining both strategy and positioning.
Wishing the team continued success and looking forward to potentially reconnecting again in the future as Gionova continues to grow.

There was quick and insightful response with guidance
It was a great experience. Kjøller’s team was always available to help and answer our questions on time, as they promised. Although it was not a match at the moment, we might consider applying again in the future.
Kjøller follows a very strategic and practical approach to startup fundraising. Their process is focused on real founder execution and business scalability rather than only storytelling. I also found their guidance during the fundraising journey highly professional and valuable for startup growth.
We had a positive experience with Kjoller throughout our fundraising outreach process. Although VertiGenix was not selected for further progression, the team took the time to review our opportunity, provide clear feedback, and explain their decision in a professional and constructive manner.
What stood out was the quality of the response and the effort made to suggest alternative investors and funding pathways that may be better aligned with our stage and sector. This level of engagement is uncommon and was genuinely helpful as we continue building our climate-resilient greenhouse agriculture business in South Africa.
We appreciate the transparency, professionalism, and founder-friendly approach demonstrated by the Kjoller team and would recommend the platform to other founders seeking investor visibility and constructive feedback.
As the founder of VORNDUTY GAMING LIMITED, I appreciate platforms that genuinely give startups and founders an opportunity to present their vision, even when the outcome is not exactly what we hoped for.
Although our case was not selected, I genuinely value the experience and the professionalism shown throughout the process. The application process encouraged us to reflect more deeply on our business model, impact, and long-term growth strategy, which is valuable for any founder building something ambitious.
At VORNDUTY, we are building a platform that creates opportunities for gamers to compete, connect, and potentially earn through structured gaming experiences and tournaments. Building innovation in emerging markets comes with challenges, so platforms like yours play an important role in giving visibility to founders and helping startups improve how they present their ideas to investors.
I also appreciate your willingness to seek honest feedback from founders. That openness shows a genuine commitment to improving the experience for entrepreneurs, and I believe that kind of founder-focused approach creates long-term impact in the startup ecosystem.
Wishing your team continued success in supporting innovative businesses and founders around the world.
I had the opportunity to work with the Kjoller team during the evaluation of Xphloria.
Throughout the process, I appreciated their professionalism, transparency, and structured approach to startup assessment. Their communication was clear, and the feedback provided was valuable for understanding how investors and evaluators view early-stage technology ventures.
Even though Xphloria was not selected, the experience was constructive and helped us better position our project for future opportunities. I particularly value organizations that take the time to provide founders with useful insights and maintain a respectful dialogue throughout the process.
I would recommend Kjoller to entrepreneurs seeking professional exposure and objective evaluation of their projects.
Kjøller demonstrated a professional and founder-friendly approach throughout the application process.

We appreciated the professional communication, constructive feedback and transparent evaluation process. The team took the time to understand our business and provided several valuable recommendations for future growth. A positive experience overall.
Our experience presenting LuKul Atelier to the Kjøller team was exceptionally professional. Although our platform was ultimately not a match for their current portfolio, their evaluation process was prompt, clear, and highly respectful of our time. Constructive transparency is a rare trait in venture capital, and the Kjøller team handles the entire pipeline with absolute integrity. I highly recommend them to any founder seeking a serious, straightforward investment partner.
My experience with Kjøller was excellent. The application process was smooth, with clear guidelines and well-structured questions that made it easy to provide relevant information. I received a response within 24 hours, along with constructive feedback and practical guidance from the reviewer. Although EcoSustainA Hub did not meet the current investment criteria, I highly appreciate the professionalism, transparency, and founder-friendly approach. I would strongly recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs seeking investment opportunities and valuable feedback on their ventures.
Kjøller provided IwantIt with a thoughtful, rigorous and transparent review process. Their team took the time to understand our vision, our market and the challenges of building a new monetization infrastructure layer for the media and entertainment industry.
Their feedback was honest, strategic and genuinely useful, helping us reflect on our commercial priorities, scalability and next milestones. We highly appreciated the professionalism, clarity and constructive approach throughout the process.
I appreciated the professionalism and responsiveness of the Kjoller team throughout the process.
While our discussions ultimately did not lead to a match, I found the interaction respectful and transparent.
My project, Bien Mangé, is focused on building a scalable food platform through a strategic equity partnership with investors who are actively interested in long-term development and growth.
In this case, our expectations regarding investment structure and partnership approach were not fully aligned, which is a normal outcome in the investment process.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the opportunity to present the project and wish the Kjoller team continued success.
The response to me after submitting my application was very fast and I appreciate the feedback and most importantly the suggestions given to me. That’s something very rare to do overall.
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation to the Kjøller team for their outstanding service and professionalism. Working with them has been a truly impressive experience. What stands out most is the team's unwavering commitment to excellence and their high level of expertise. From our initial interactions, it was clear that they possess a deep understanding of their field, approaching every task with precision, strategic insight, and clear communication. They consistently demonstrated a proactive mindset, anticipating challenges before they arose and providing effective solutions that kept our objectives on track. Beyond their technical proficiency, the Kjøller team operates with a level of integrity and dedication that is rare to find. They are reliable, responsive, and genuinely invested in the success of the projects they undertake. It is clear that their collaborative approach is designed to deliver value, and they have exceeded my expectations in every aspect of our engagement. I highly recommend the Kjøller team to anyone looking for partners who combine deep industry knowledge with a polished, professional, and results-oriented work ethic. Thank you for your hard work and for setting such a high standard.
We had a smooth professional business exposition with the Kjoller LLC team and have been able to give us an insight into what acquiring business funding really entails. Their guidance and support as true business professionals is top notch .
We had a very positive experience with Kjøller. Even though they did not move forward with an investment at this stage, their feedback was thoughtful, detailed and genuinely useful. As an entrepreneur, it is rare to receive such a constructive and respectful review process. Their analysis showed a strong understanding of our business, our market and the challenges of building in emerging markets. I truly appreciated the quality of the exchange and would gladly recommend them to other founders.
If I could rate KJOLLER beyond the star limit, I would. Their deep expertise leads to incredibly rapid, sharp strategic decisions. With a powerful cross-industry network and a refreshing, genuine approach to supporting startups, they stand out completely from standard VCs. Highly recommended for ambitious founders. Looking forward to launching our platforms with their insights: https://pethygiene.shop/ and https://eunsang0815.github.io/shelter_tech/

The team at Kjøller engaged with our application thoughtfully and with clear strategic insight. Their feedback reflected a strong understanding of both the creative direction of the project and its international positioning, offering constructive perspectives that helped sharpen our development and market approach. The exchange was focused, encouraging, and genuinely valuable to the project’s continued trajectory.
Although Clipkulture was not selected for investment, I genuinely appreciate the professionalism and prompt communication from the Kjøller team throughout the process.
Their response was respectful, encouraging, and thoughtful. I especially appreciated that they took the time to share additional investment resources and platforms that could be helpful moving forward. That level of consideration says a lot about how they engage with founders.
Overall, it was a positive experience, and I’d definitely encourage other startups and founders to explore opportunities with them.

A generally good experience and I have learned a lot from the interaction. Good communication and timely feedback.
Kjoller proved to be everything I heard of. Quick, knowledgeable and detailed in their feedback. Even though they rejected my application somehow I feel not sad but happy because the process was so enjoyable.
The feedback I received was very good and it made sense to me why we are not the right fit right now.
The effort they took to suggest and introduce to other VCs really show that they wanted to help.
I wish to be able to work with them sometime in future and already feel that I have a connection there.
Kjoller provided valuable strategic insights throughout the process and took the time to truly understand the vision behind URBAN DANCE ACADEMY.
Their recommendations regarding operations, fundraising, scalability, and long-term structuring were thoughtful, relevant, and genuinely useful for our next stage of growth.
As the founder of a multi-location urban dance platform in Tunisia, I especially appreciated their professional approach, clear communication, and understanding of both the business and social impact dimensions of what we are building.
I highly recommend Kjoller to founders looking for serious strategic guidance and investor-oriented support.
Very professional and transparent experience with Kjøller.
Even though SPOVIO was ultimately not the right fit for their current investment thesis, the team took the time to carefully review our business, ask detailed and relevant questions, and provide thoughtful feedback.
Their communication was fast, direct, and respectful throughout the process. We especially appreciated the constructive investor recommendations and strategic advice they shared after the review.
It is rare to receive this level of professionalism and genuine support during an early-stage fundraising process.
Highly recommended for founders looking for serious and transparent investors.
Sadly, Kjoller turned down the opportunity to make an investment in our company BUT I have nothing but GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE. Instead of being given the typical "hold your breath" experience while you wait and wait for an answer, Kjoller got back to me within 24 hours as promised AND gave me a TON of ideas of who might be an appropriate investor for us, as well as a detailed explanation of why our transaction was not for them. While I wish their decision had been different, the entire experience was great and I only wish all potential early stage investors were as responsive as Kjoller. I have nothing but great things to say about them.

Kjøller runs a highly professional and well-structured process. Communication throughout was clear, responsive and commercially focused, and the overall experience reflected a strong understanding of how to manage transactions efficiently and professionally. Appreciate the way the team approached everything throughout the process and would welcome the opportunity to work together in the future.
I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller during our investment application process for KIWALD Entrepreneurs.
Although our organization is still at an early revenue stage and was ultimately not the right fit for their current investment scope, the feedback we received was thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely constructive.
What stood out most was the time taken to understand our mission, our work with youth and women in Northern Uganda, and the practical challenges faced by grassroots social enterprises operating in underserved communities. The team provided detailed guidance, investor recommendations, and strategic insights that are extremely valuable for our growth journey.
Their professionalism, transparency, and encouragement made the process worthwhile, and we appreciate the human approach they took throughout the engagement.
We would gladly recommend Kjøller to founders and organizations seeking serious, honest, and professional investor engagement. https://kiwald85.pythonanywhere.com
Kjoller is not just another investment platform. It is a structured, intentional, and deeply professional ecosystem built for founders who are serious about solving real-world problems at scale.
They are not moved by noise, hype, or empty ambition. Kjoller invests in teams that are prepared, grounded, disciplined, and willing to do the hard work of building something that truly matters. With them, you are expected to dot every line, answer every question, and remain completely open throughout the process. And honestly, that is what makes the experience different.
Their approach is patient, thorough, and remarkably consistent. Every conversation feels intentional. Every response carries depth. They challenge your thinking, stretch your preparation, and expose both the strength and weaknesses in your business model.
My experience with Kjoller was one of the most revealing business experiences I have ever had. They put your business through a surgical process that forces you to confront reality, appreciate the work you have already done, and clearly understand the level of work still required to win.
Kjoller prepares founders for the war of building in giant markets. They do not pamper mediocrity. Instead, they help sharpen vision, strengthen systems, refine execution, and push businesses toward becoming truly world-class.
What stands out most is their authenticity. Their speed in communication, their detailed feedback, and the intentionality behind every engagement show that they genuinely care about impact and long-term success. Even beyond funding, they make you feel seen as a builder with the potential to change lives and shape industries.
And if you eventually secure funding from Kjoller, it feels like receiving a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; the kind that positions you to become a force in your industry, solve hard global problems, create lasting impact, and build something capable of generating consistent seven-figure success.
Climbing with Kjoller has been an inspiring experience, and for every founder who truly wants to build something meaningful, transformational, and enduring, Kjoller is the kind of platform that prepares you not just to survive, but to lead.
Kjøller was one of the more thoughtful and professional investor interactions I’ve experienced during Orb Tech’s early fundraising journey.
Although Orb Tech was ultimately considered too early-stage and pre-revenue for their current investment mandate, the Kjøller team took the time to genuinely review the company, understand the product vision, and provide detailed, constructive feedback rather than a generic rejection response.
What stood out most was their transparency, speed of communication, and willingness to offer practical guidance, including introductions to relevant investor ecosystems, venture programs, and fundraising resources better aligned with deep-tech and AI companies at an earlier stage of development.
The process felt respectful, founder-friendly, and intellectually honest throughout. It’s clear the team values long-term thinking, disciplined execution, and meaningful technology businesses, even when an opportunity may not yet align with their current portfolio focus.
I’d happily recommend founders speak with Kjøller if their company is at the appropriate stage for the firm’s investment profile.
We were in contact with Kjoller regarding a potential investment in our firm www.aninver.com. Their offer didn’t fit well with our interests but the process was amazing: fast, serious and professional, and always helping with new suggestions. Strongly recommended
My experience with the Kjoller application process was very efficient and, more importantly, incredibly thoughtful.
As a founder, I reached out not just seeking a partnership, but looking to stress-test the 'seed-to-screen' concept of my business. The interaction proved to be immensely valuable; the team provided a wealth of high-level information that pushed me to think bigger and refine my global perspective.
Their feedback truly elevated my business idea.

Outstanding follow-up Rapid response
I just regret our startup is still not in the stage you expect in companies you select.
Hope we'll collaborate one day. Because behind this rigorous follow up and fast response, we see a caring and accessible investor.
We had a very professional and transparent experience interacting with Kjøller. Even though PARTECON is currently earlier than their investment stage, the team took the time to review our materials carefully, provide thoughtful feedback, and communicate their investment criteria clearly. Their approach was respectful, founder-friendly, and focused on long-term alignment rather than short-term conversations. Wishing the Kjøller team continued success, and we look forward to reconnecting in the future as PARTECON scales further.
Very professional service with quick response times. Communication was open, concise, and transparent throughout the process. Friendly team and a pleasure to work with.

We 2PS reached out to Kjøller regarding our project 2FP, a retail petroleum platform dedicated to gas station network management, fully aware that it was outside their investment scope. The team truly played along, providing sincere and highly encouraging feedback on our model's maturity. Receiving such actionable advice from experts on our 'pilot-first' approach is invaluable. They are a human-centric team that brings immense value to the startup ecosystem. A very professional and personable approach to investment.
I truly appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness, and thoughtful guidance provided throughout the process. The team took the time to understand MediMan, our vision, our challenges, and the direction we are building toward in healthcare technology.
Their questions were clear, relevant, and helped us think more deeply about our business model, investor readiness, KPIs, and long-term growth strategy. I also valued the practical suggestions and useful leads shared with us, which showed genuine interest in supporting founders beyond just the application process.
As a founder building from Sri Lanka, it is encouraging to engage with a team that communicates respectfully, responds clearly, and provides meaningful direction. Overall, it was a very positive and valuable experience.
I would highly recommend Kjøller to startups and founders who are looking for a professional, transparent, and insightful investment process.
I had a very positive experience interacting with the team at Kjøller throughout the evaluation process for Welcome Habibi.
Even though our startup was still too early-stage for their current investment scope, the feedback and communication were professional, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to understand the vision behind Welcome Habibi and provided valuable recommendations for relevant investors and next steps.
As a founder, I truly appreciated the respectful and human approach from their team.
Highly recommended for startups looking for serious and transparent investors.
I had a really good experience with Kjøller. The process was clear, efficient, and thoughtfully structured from start to finish, and it felt like they genuinely care about matching the right people with the right opportunities. What stood out most was the quality of the questions and the professionalism throughout, it was straightforward, respectful, and well run. A strong process overall, and I’d be happy to recommend it to others.
My interaction was actually amazing, even if we did not match, the gentle understanding and care, while still maintaining valuable insight, was outstanding.
The application process at Kjøller sets a gold standard for how early-stage investors should interact with founders. Unlike many VC portals where applications disappear into a black hole, the Kjøller team responded within 24 hours with incredibly thorough, personalized, and constructive feedback. As a founder, you want clarity, speed, and respect—and Kjøller delivered all three flawlessly. I highly recommend any serious founder to apply.
I engaged with Kjøller to discuss venture scaling for LuKul Atelier. While our current ARR placed us earlier than their target stage, the depth of their technical and operational review was exceptional. Unlike the standard automated VC responses, their team provided a clinical analysis of our proprietary architecture and highly actionable Go-To-Market insights. A remarkably transparent and professional firm.
We had a very positive experience with Kjøller during our application process. The team provided clear, honest, and constructive feedback, which is not always the case in early-stage fundraising. Even though the timing was not a fit for investment, the insights we received on positioning, metrics, and next steps were genuinely valuable and actionable. It’s clear they take founders seriously and aim to be helpful beyond just making investment decisions. Highly recommended for founders looking for transparent and thoughtful investors. Foo-Kaz
I had an encouraging and enlightening experience with the Kjøller team, the application form while detailed was quite simple and straightforward. I got feedback about my application in a few hours after my application. I received a long and thoughtful feedback around my product and investment opportunities that exist outside of Kjøller as my startup was not a fit for the stage of startups they fund. What I truly valued is the ability to still get strategic insights on my product regardless of whether I received investments from Kjøller. The quick turn around and care in sharing feedback was deeply appreciated.
They replied according to the information submitted and provided accurate feedback and even aids for further research. I’d be thrilled to collaborate with them in the near future. Kjoller is your way to scale up your product/service.
Kjøller's services are prompt. In addition, a responsive support and consistently high-quality service delivery made for a smooth and reliable experience.
I have never experienced this level of attention and professional insight when it comes to navigating the early stages of project development.
The consultation was highly engaging and deeply tailored — my specific case was thoroughly explored, leading to thoughtful suggestions and alternative support pathways.
I’m genuinely grateful for the time, care, and expertise shared.
They are very professional, responsive and genuinely helpful throughout the process.
Their feedback was clear, practical and valuable, especially for an early-stage project like ClickNRent. They helped us look at the business with more structure, focusing on the importance of moving from concept to real pilots, measurable KPIs and concrete market validation.
I appreciated the quality of the conversation, the strategic perspective and the honest advice shared during the process.
A useful and serious experience for any founder looking for external feedback on a startup project.
We had a very positive experience with the Kjøller team.
The feedback was clear, honest, and highly relevant to our current stage. Even though we are still early in our revenue journey, the insights and resources shared were genuinely helpful.
I was genuinely impressed by the speed and quality of communication. I submitted my application on a Sunday evening, expecting a response within a few days at best. Instead, I received a thoughtful reply within hours, followed by additional follow-up - all with concrete recommendations, relevant contacts, and clear guidance on key metrics. Based on my experience working with investors, this level of responsiveness and quality is rare. Many firms do not respond at all at this stage. Even though we are currently too early in terms of traction, the interaction left a very strong positive impression. The feedback was clearly written by a person who took the time to understand the case, which is highly appreciated. I believe that in today’s fast-moving startup environment, speed, clarity, and actionable feedback are extremely valuable — and this experience reflects that. I would be glad to reconnect once we reach the relevant stage and KPIs.
Reaching out for your program changed my perspective in the manner it was approached even though I'm yet to get it. It is an exceptional way of making customer important and relevant. Thank you.

Great people, always ready to listen and view your pitch/proposal. Give excellent advice and referrals.
I had a very positive experience engaging with the Kjøller team. Their communication was clear, professional, and thoughtful throughout the process. Although Pawayu Africa is still at an early stage for their current investment focus, I truly appreciated the time they took to review the business and the constructive feedback provided. What stood out most was their transparency and willingness to support founders beyond capital, including sharing valuable investor resources and guidance. I would highly recommend Kjøller to founders seeking a professional and value-driven investment partner.
Kjøller delivered on their promise and beyond. Within 24hrs we had a detailed answer with constructive feedbacks and a tone that felt like a true partnership. Having reached out to close to 70 investors, this one surpassed the usual interaction we get. I stand very impressed.
Although I didn’t get into the program the team reached out to me and gave me the reasons I wasn’t a fit at that time and also shared resources that I could use, no VC or group has ever sent such meaningful responses let alone adding resources I am thankful for everything thank you.
Professional, respectful, and genuinely thoughtful communication throughout the process. The feedback provided was detailed, constructive, and encouraging, with clear insights and valuable resources shared along the way. It’s rare to see this level of transparency, professionalism, and personal attention. A very positive experience that reflects strong integrity and quality in how they engage with founders.
Kjoller stands out for their clear, thoughtful, and founder-respectful approach to evaluating early-stage companies.
While they may not invest at very early stages, what impressed me most was the quality of feedback. Instead of a generic rejection, they provided structured insights around revenue scale, repeat behavior, and growth consistency—exactly the areas that matter for building a sustainable business.
For founders, this kind of feedback is extremely valuable. It not only clarifies where you stand but also helps you focus on the right execution priorities.
Overall, Kjoller comes across as a team that looks beyond ideas and focuses on building strong, scalable businesses, while maintaining a respectful and transparent communication style.
Although I did not receive funding, I had a very positive experience with Kjøller. I received thoughtful feedback within 24 hours, along with helpful guidance on potential next steps for securing investment. The response was timely, informative, and actionable, and I was extremely satisfied with my initial interaction with the team.
Really appreciated the time and effort the team put into reviewing our case. The feedback was thoughtful, practical and clearly based on real understanding, not just generic advice. Communication was also very warm and professional, which matters a lot when you’re building a startup and need honest direction. Overall, a very positive experience and genuinely helpful.
I had the pleasure to speak with the guts at Kjøller and they gave me a huge insight and info on the journey. They are super responsive and great to connect with. They did their best with providing much information so I can get ready for the way ahead.

Rachel Anawe MaruFounder and Director
I am rating my experience 5 star because of the positive feedback I received when I submitted an experience of interest.
The fact that you responded and took the time to suggest alternatives indicates that if I had an investment proposal that met your criteria, you will take it to the next level.
If I come across any company looking for investors, I will definitely recommend you.
We applied with our startup, Numerus (https://numerus.one). Even though it was a "no" this time (we’re still too early-stage for Kjoller), we received a detailed, personalized response in under 24 hours. This level of speed and transparency is rare among funds and much appreciated. Thank you!
I had a very positive experience with the Kjøller team. Their review process was thoughtful, transparent, and respectful of the stage we’re at as a company.
Even though we weren’t a fit for their current investment criteria, the feedback was detailed and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain their decision clearly and went a step further by sharing relevant investor recommendations and practical resources we can use as we continue building.
Overall, it felt like engaging with a team that is both rigorous in how they invest and supportive of founders, even when passing. I would highly recommend them to other founders looking for serious, thoughtful investors.

Excellent communication and engagement from the case officer. It is obvious there was a careful and detailed read of the answers I provided.
I had a great experience with Kjøller Ventures. The process was thoughtful and the feedback was both direct and highly actionable, particularly around positioning and thinking through the broader opportunity for Ventu.
It’s clear they take a genuine interest in understanding what founders are building and provide perspective that is both practical and strategic. I’d highly recommend engaging with them if you’re founder.
I was absolutely impressed by the speed of the response and the generous feedback provided by the Kjoller team following our application.
Although an investment was not the right fit at this time, they shared a wealth of highly valuable advice, tangible leads, and—most importantly—encouragement and appreciation for what we are building.
Kjøller’s process was clear, transparent, and respectful from start to finish. Even though GridSense is still at the prototype stage, the feedback was thoughtful and constructive, which is rare and extremely valuable for early-stage founders.
Their communication stands out — honest, direct, and supportive. I would definitely recommend founders to engage with them, especially if you’re building something meaningful and long-term.
While we ultimately didn’t proceed with the investment due to structural fit, the team was thoughtful, responsive, and clearly experienced in their approach. Their feedback was detailed and constructive, and they took the time to properly understand our business, unit economics, and growth strategy.
They bring a disciplined perspective to capital structuring and downside protection, which will be well suited to companies aligned with their model.
Appreciate the engagement and would be happy to work together in the future if the opportunity aligns.

Luyimbaazi DerrickFounder/Executive Director EBTDI Ventures
had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller during the review of EBTDI Ventures. Although our initiative was not selected for investment at this stage, the feedback provided was highly professional, thoughtful, and constructive.
The team took time to carefully review our climate education and reforestation model, particularly the Every Birthday Tree Day Initiative (EBTDI) and its school-based program, Roots of Tomorrow. I appreciated the clarity of their assessment, especially their guidance on the importance of building stronger traction, impact metrics, and structured scalability before engaging in equity investment discussions.
What stood out most was the transparency and encouragement offered. Rather than a generic rejection, the communication provided meaningful direction for early-stage founders like myself working on impact-driven solutions in challenging environments.
This experience has strengthened our approach to building disciplined growth, measurable outcomes, and long-term sustainability as we continue developing EBTDI Ventures.
EverGreen applied for Kjoller investment, and I must say I am grateful for the thoroughness and thoughtfulness with which our application was reviewed. Keep up the good work!
So impressed with Kjøller without even being succesful in our approach.
First if all, I was caught by surprise when I opened the application process. A very professional and step by step asking questions on our project, a bit time consuming, but that is what you should expect when you ask someone to invest in you. I got 1/3 through on a Thursday afternoon and figured I complete it during the weekend.
Saturday morning, long before I completed our application, I got the kindest email from the company, which proved they already had researched our company. They expressed and acknowledged that this was a serious big project they liked a lot, unfortunately their poliicies did not allow them to invest pre revenue.
So instead of a short notice «sorry but no thanks», they sent a list on advice and a list of potential investors in our business with history of investing in pre revenue.
I wish other VC’s / PE companies did something similar.
KJoller, though Trafeek hasnt reached a perfect fit for your selections, but I certainly know there is a brain behind the emails and a heart. 5 stars for you
Really appreciated my recent interaction with Kjøller. Even though Kubeez was not the right fit for their current investment stage, the response I received from Kjøller was one of the most thoughtful investor replies I have seen. Instead of a cold pass, they took the time to clearly explain the reasoning, highlight what stood out positively in the product, and even recommend specific investors, angel communities, and accelerator paths that may be a better fit. That level of transparency and genuine helpfulness is rare, and I truly appreciate it.
Despite the fact that I didnt fit the criteria, the team continued to provide very valuable inputs and advices. Very thankful for the interaction and looking fwd that we might be able to interact later.
Kjøller was extremely responsive - practically instant - and provided a detailed evaluation of Sats Inc. Their feedback was thoughtful and well-structured, and they also shared a highly relevant list of funds that could be a strong fit for a digital asset treasury company like Sats Inc. A very efficient and valuable process overall.

Srikrishna ElloreA Rare Investor Experience with Real Insight
I recently submitted Alya to Kjøller and had a very thoughtful experience throughout the process. The feedback was clear, honest, and actually useful, which is rare.
While we were slightly early for their current investment scope, the conversation helped sharpen our focus on monetisation and key metrics.
As a founder building Alya, a lighting intelligence platform that brings structure to design workflows, standards, and execution, I value investors who understand both domain depth and long-term vision.
Appreciate the time and insight from the Kjøller team.

Had a great experience interacting with Kjøller during our fundraising process for CROPS NEXUS INDIA.
Very professional, transparent, and focused on fundamentals like unit economics and sustainability. Even though we didn’t proceed due to structural differences, the clarity and honest feedback were extremely valuable.
Appreciate the time and insights shared — wishing the team continued success.
I had a great experience with the team at Kjøller throughout their review process. The feedback I received was thoughtful, direct, and highly relevant to where we are as a company.
What stood out most was their focus on what truly matters at the early stage — building a strong product, getting it into users’ hands, and proving real engagement. Their perspective reinforced the importance of staying disciplined and execution-focused during the pre-launch phase.
The process felt founder-friendly, insightful, and grounded in real venture thinking rather than generic advice. I would definitely recommend Kjøller to other founders looking for honest, high-quality feedback as they build and scale.
I really liked their honest feedback about pesasa. Although they made a decision not to invest at the time . They gave us direction on how to approach the market and the right early investor list to talk to and that really meant alot. Sometimes all you need is some one who believes in you.
While my venture is a bit too early stage for Kjoller, they were considerate and offered significant response, suggestions and support. As we start to generate revenue, we will come back and partner with this quality team.
We had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller throughout the review process.
From the beginning, the communication was clear, thoughtful, and highly professional. What stood out most was the depth of feedback and the genuine effort to understand both the opportunity and the stage of our company.
Even though Planet.Expert is still in its early execution phase, the team at Kjøller provided valuable insights, practical suggestions, and a very clear perspective on what is required to move from concept to scalable execution.
Their approach combines rigor, transparency, and a long-term mindset — qualities that are especially valuable when building something new and complex.
We truly appreciate the time and attention they dedicated to our case, and we look forward to reconnecting as we move forward with our first pilot projects and early revenues.
I had a genuinely positive experience with Kjøller’s application process. The team was thoughtful, respectful, and took the time to provide clear and constructive feedback, which is rare at such an early stage.
As the founder of AICEPA, a digital psychometric assessment platform for students, I found their insights around traction, KPIs, and go-to-market strategy especially valuable. It gave me a much clearer direction on what to focus on next.
Even though we are not a fit at this stage, the interaction felt professional, encouraging, and truly helpful for our journey ahead.

Although Kjøller was unable to finance our proposal (UnionXpert- www.unionxpert.com), their prompt and cordial response was truly appreciated. They maintained professionalism and respect throughout the process. I would definitely consider working with them in the future.
My experience with Kjøller’s investment application process was very positive and professional. As the founder of Elan Media & Events, a creative production and events company based in Ghana, I appreciated the time their team took to carefully review our vision of building a 360° production and events hub in Accra.
Although we are still in the early growth stage, the feedback provided was detailed, constructive, and encouraging. The Kjøller team shared valuable insights on scaling revenue, strengthening traction, and connecting with early-stage investors relevant to the African creative and media industry.
The process was transparent, founder-friendly, and genuinely supportive. I would recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs looking for a thoughtful investment partner, and I value the opportunity to have engaged with a team that understands scalable opportunities in emerging markets such as Ghana’s creative and events sector.
Kjøller provided one of the most thoughtful and professional application processes we have experienced.

The follow-up process included thoughtful, well-structured questions that helped us better articulate our business and thinking. I also appreciated that the communication never felt generic. It was clear that the team paid attention not only to the business itself, but also to the founders and the motivation behind it. In our case, that mattered a lot, as DLady is rooted in both lived experience and years of product execution. Even beyond the investment outcome, the interaction itself was valuable. It felt respectful, efficient, and genuinely well handled.
Even though they do not invest at the pre-revenue stage, their response was clear, respectful, and well explained. Their investment criteria were easy to understand, and I appreciated the fact that they took the time to give a real answer instead of sending a generic rejection.

I would highly recommend engaging with them if you are looking for a thoughtful and professional investment process.
Well structured and clear investor application form, very quick response time and provided transparent, honest and valuable feedback. Although we're too early to qualify, I'd highly rate Kjoller if you're considering investment.
While it actually takes a lot to explain our business model when filling the application form, however, I was deeply satisfied in the response I got from a member of the team who literally took time to go over my application.
We didn’t get into the plan for their next investment, but I was encouraged in the humorous response and follow-up guide that advises me on what to do next and how I can source funds at another specific place.
I am impressed, it’s usually silence or generalism when your business is not selected, but they were more specific because they took time to go over our model.

Kjoller Investment Firm has been exceptional in their engagement and professionalism. Their fast response time and timely feedback made communication smooth and efficient throughout our interaction. I was particularly impressed by their attention to detail,every question was thoughtfully considered, and responses were clear, thorough, and insightful. Their approach reflects a strong commitment to supporting founders and building meaningful partnerships. I highly recommend Kjoller to entrepreneurs seeking responsive and detail-oriented investment partners.
Even though they ultimately passed on investing in Podular, the way they handled it meant a lot. Their response didn’t feel like a template or a quick no—it felt thoughtful, human, and genuinely respectful of the work and effort behind what I’m building.
They also shared resources that were actually useful, not just filler. I’ve already found myself thinking back to some of what they sent as I continue to shape and grow Podular.
What stood out most, though, was how they made me feel. They didn’t make me feel bad for applying, and they definitely didn’t make me question myself. If anything, the interaction left me more encouraged.
People remember how you make them feel the longest—and this was one of those interactions that sticks with you. Not every “no” lands like this—and it says a lot about who they are. I’d absolutely recommend connecting with them.
What stood out immediately was the speed and quality of their response. Their feedback was thoughtful, concrete, and clearly based on a real understanding of our product and current stage.
In a space where many conversations remain high-level or generic, their insights were practical, honest, and genuinely useful for refining our next steps.
I particularly appreciated their professionalism, clarity, and execution-focused mindset. It’s rare to receive such fast and meaningful feedback combined with a strong understanding of early-stage dynamics.
Highly recommended for founders looking for serious, thoughtful, and actionable insights.
Great professionalism and guidance from the team. A good outfit to find investment and the support needed to scale and grow. The team analysed and gave me a head start to success.
I am so grateful. If you have not contacted them yet, please do so now, and you will never regret it.
Kjøller provided a thoughtful and highly professional experience during our interaction. While we were not ultimately a fit at this stage due to their investment criteria, the team took the time to thoroughly review our application and share detailed, actionable feedback.

My experience with Kjøller has been both insightful and motivating. Their structured, disciplined approach to evaluating businesses reflects a deep focus on long-term value, scalability, and real impact.
What stood out to me was the quality of their feedback and the clarity in their process—something that challenges founders to think more critically and build stronger, more resilient companies. As someone building in a complex but high-potential sector, I found this level of engagement particularly valuable.
Kjøller represents the kind of investment partner that serious founders look for—thoughtful, rigorous, and aligned with sustainable growth.
We received one of the most thoughtful investor responses we've encountered. The team took the time to deeply understand our business, gave an honest and clear assessment, and went above and beyond by sharing relevant investor leads and practical tools. Most funds send a one-line pass. Kjøller delivered real value. Impressive process.
The absolute best people I have dealt with in my journey to raise funds. They are empathetic, deeply understanding of founder dynamics and demonstrate an understanding of how uphill sometimes the journey can be for founders with a dream and vision. Even though it is a NO from them at this stage, I believe our paths will cross at some stage.
I submitted Edmn, my Egyptian fintech startup, for review and received genuinely thoughtful feedback — not just a standard rejection. The response was specific, honest, and acknowledged both the strengths and challenges of what we're building. That kind of structured, human feedback is rare and actually useful for an early-stage founder. I appreciated the transparency and the time taken to engage seriously with the work. — Mahmoud Harraz, Founder of Edmn

I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller. The application process was clear, structured, and the follow-up was both prompt and thoughtful.
Even though my project is still at an early stage, the team took the time to provide detailed feedback and direction, which is very valuable for founders building from the ground up.
I especially appreciate the transparency in their investment criteria and the additional resources they shared to support further development and fundraising.
Looking forward to reconnecting with the team once the project progresses to the next stage.

The experience with the team Kjoller was absolutely amazing. This can be a challenging space to engage in and they were professional, kind and transparent through it all.
Greetings dear I have been contacting one of your staff on different occasions for the last I think 6 months . My experience is paramount . My contact was responding to me via email patiently and persistently with out hesitation. I never had this kind of customer service especially via this way of contact !!

Prompt, thoughtful response to our enquiry, with helpful advice.
Kjøller has a clear and disciplined investment approach, with a strong focus on capital efficiency and real execution rather than purely conceptual platforms. While not a fit for our current stage, I appreciated the quality of feedback and the practical direction provided — particularly around aligning with the right investor profiles and go-to-market strategy. Overall, a thoughtful and operator-minded team with a clear understanding of early-stage realities.
We recently submitted an application for our Climate-Smart Aquaculture Project funding to Kjoller. While the decision ultimately could not favor us due to our pre-revenue stage, we were very impressed by the thoroughness, responsiveness, and professionalism demonstrated throughout the process.
Their team provided thoughtful feedback and constructive recommendations, including valuable guidance on alternative funding sources that we will explore. Their commitment to supporting startups and fostering innovation is evident, and we sincerely appreciate the high-quality service and support they provide to early stage ventures.
We look forward to engaging with Kjoller again as our project progresses and recommend their services to other startups, with revenue already seeking expert guidance and opportunities for growth.
Working with Kjøller was a positive and transparent experience. Their feedback was thoughtful and practical, especially around revenue scale, KPIs, and investor expectations. The promptness of their responses was excellent and the communication was very professional. Even though it wasn’t the right investment fit for Hornbill Technologies at this stage, the insights and investor resources they shared were genuinely helpful for refining our fundraising approach.
I had a great experience interacting with the team. The process was thoughtful and constructive, with feedback that genuinely helps founders refine their approach.

I had a very positive experience engaging with the team during the review of my venture, Amoquewe Farms and FarmFundMobile.
The process was thoughtful, professional, and transparent from beginning to end. Although the structure was not the right fit at this stage, the feedback and guidance provided were extremely valuable and helped clarify our next steps in strengthening our financial strategy and partnerships.
I truly appreciate the encouragement shown toward our work supporting smallholder farmers and agricultural innovation. The engagement was respectful and constructive, and I would recommend the process to other founders seeking serious dialogue and useful feedback.
I had a really positive experience with KJøLLER. Their guidance, resources, and insights were clear, practical, and encouraging. Even small tips they shared have helped me make meaningful progress with Rose Collection. Highly recommended for business and anyone looking for thoughtful support and useful tools to grow their impact.
“I submitted PivotOps to Kjøller Capital and received a detailed, thoughtful response. While they are not investing in this round—because it doesn’t yet meet their funding scope—they acknowledged the vision behind PivotOps as remarkable and highlighted the meaningful impact it could have on African startups and SMEs. The feedback was constructive and encouraging, providing practical next steps including relevant investor leads and advice on tracking KPIs to strengthen future funding conversations. The professionalism and insight in their email reinforced the value of persistence in early-stage entrepreneurship and gave our team a motivational boost to continue building impactful solutions. Highly recommend Kjøller Capital for founders seeking honest, expert guidance and meaningful early-stage feedback.”

The feedback was excellent. Even though I didn’t get what was hoped for - I was impressed by the pleasant tone, and thoughtful help provided in response.
I do not know the exact words to use to express my gratitude to Kjoller, thank you so much, your feedback was very helpful and am glad for having crossed paths with you guys.
My experience was beyond surprising in very positive ways. Feedback was immediate. Althought my current stage is not aligned with Khollers investment scope, I got a very detailed reply, not just a standard plain message. Kjoller took the time and interest to review my application understanding not only the idea but the person behind the idea, which is what trully matters in my opinion. They went beyond an explanation and took the time to give me valuable ideas pointers and last but certainly not least, a warm genuine message regarding the value entrepreneurs have. I trully appreciate Khollers's style. I trully had the best experience. Fully recommend approaching them!!

They took the time to give clear, constructive feedback and even shared a detailed list of alternative investors and resources aligned with my stage and region.

Isaac MgeniManaging Director
I found the process very interactive and straight forward, the template used very friendly and well defined in all the lines of questioning as guide to the respondent. In my case feedback was instant which is professional rather than keeping you in suspense after expression of interest. Though it did not work fore but I got feedback and advise on other possible directions I can take.
Our experience of dealing with Kjoller was nothing less than five-star. Their general clarification and due diligence were world-class. We found them very professional and transparent in their approach. Excellent experience overall.
My experience with Kjøller has been very positive. The team was professional, transparent, and respectful throughout the interaction. Even though Xyntriq was still earlier than their current investment stage, the communication was thoughtful and constructive.
I especially appreciated the clarity around their investment criteria and the practical guidance they shared, including suggestions for stage-appropriate investors and tools for tracking business KPIs. That level of helpful feedback is not always common and reflects a genuinely supportive approach toward founders.
Overall, the process was smooth, well-structured, and handled with professionalism. I would gladly stay in touch with the team as our company grows and would recommend founders to engage with them if their stage aligns with Kjøller’s investment focus.
Our interaction with Kjøller was extremely favorable. Even though Tiba AI was not chosen for investment at this stage, the evaluation procedure was conducted professionally, thoughtfully, and with respect. The feedback we obtained was specific, organized, and directly connected to our existing revenue level — which we value. The most notable aspect was the quality of the reply. Rather than a standard rejection, we were provided with specific explanations and a tailored list of investors more suited to our current stage. Such transparency and helpful direction are uncommon and reflect positively on their method. Kjøller thoroughly assesses companies with diligence while upholding professionalism and honoring founders. We would happily collaborate with them once more as our business evolves
1. Amazing response time 2. Great feedback and directional responses. 3. Professional and empathetic to startup journey and time Great guys to connect and collaborate if given a chance.
I contacted them to raise fund. It was not successful however they gave me important points to review my processes and the have better opportunity to be funded in the near future. It was really supportive.
We have reached out to the Kjoller office on the back of a LinkedIn ad which we felt was clearly aligned with our goals. The pitch questions were extensive, but that shows the rigorous process underpinning the selection and investment process. We got a reply in less than 24 hours, and although the feedback did not offer an investment, we have been given options for our target markets and useful tips to make our fund-raising a few steps closer to success. Really positive, fast and pragmatic experience and highly recommend engaging Kjoller for your capital raising requirements. Thanks for your consideration and will be pleased to stay in touch.

This is a very kind and helpful organisation to all entrepreneur. The people here are proactive end extend their helping hand to the new entrepreneur with necessary informations. As a entrepreneur i got a lot of support from them and i am satisfied with their support. Thanks to all of them for their support to me.
I appreciated the structured and intellectually honest feedback process. The evaluation highlighted both narrative gaps and strengths in a way that helps sharpen positioning rather than dilute it.
As a founder building BytYogy Astra, clarity around governance, timing, and execution discipline is essential. The process encouraged that kind of thinking.
Useful for founders who value substance over hype.
We sincerely appreciate the support and professionalism shown by Kjøller throughout our engagement with Patanisha Africa.

The clarity of communication and depth of evaluation reflected a disciplined and credible investment process. We value the experience and look forward to continued engagement.
Thank you for the thoughtful note and for the clarity throughout this process. We truly appreciate the swift responsiveness, transparency and the respect with which you've handled the discussion. While it's unfortunate that the structure and ticket size don't align at this stage, we completely understand the decision and value the constructive engagement. We're especially grateful for the kind words about what we're building at Incise.
My engagement with Koller was exceptional stood out as one of the most impressive investor conversations I’ve had. The team demonstrated clear thinking around their business model and capital deployment strategy, both locally and cross-border. They took time to deeply understand our short- and long-term goals, explored structural alternatives professionally, and went beyond expectations by sharing potential investor leads aligned with our model. A highly transparent, disciplined, and relationship driven fund.
Fast review turnaround on application and a detailed respone - this is arguably more targeted feedback than I have received in the last 10 years, collectively!

Samuel AnnanMr.
I reached out to Kjoller to enquire about the possibility of funding for my startup project. I had a swift response explaining to me that they consider existing businesses. They went ahead to recommend organisations they could fund a project like mine. They even took time to look at my business overview and offend advise. Even though l did not get l wanted from them l am still grateful for the assistance they provided me. Such support is hard to come by. I recommend Kjoller to any existing business requiring funding to expand to speak to them. Thank you.

Really appreciated the conversation with Kjøller. Even though we didn’t end up moving forward, the dialogue was thoughtful, transparent, and grounded in real analysis. They were clear about fit, asked smart questions, and shared genuinely helpful suggestions for next steps. It felt relationship-driven rather than transactional.

What stood out most was the clarity of their process and the discipline with which they apply their investment model. The conversations were direct, transparent, and focused on substance rather than sales language. While we ultimately concluded that the structure was not the right fit for our current business phase, the exchange itself was valuable and constructive. Kjøller’s approach is best suited to businesses with predictable, recurring cashflows and clear downside protection mechanisms. For founders who appreciate disciplined capital and straightforward dialogue, the process is refreshingly clear. We appreciated the professionalism and respect throughout the interaction and would be open to engaging again in the future under the right structural alignment.
I had a positive experience engaging with Kjøller. Although we were not the right fit at this stage due to revenue maturity, the feedback was thoughtful, transparent, and genuinely helpful.

"I had an amazing experience with Kjøller! They not only addressed my concerns but also provided valuable advice on presenting my business to investors. Their support was top-notch and truly exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!"
Although, Kjoller decided not to more further with a discussion of investment due to the fact that we are pre-revenue, they provided a quick feeddback and really insightful response. Thanks a lot!

I have raised funding for many businesses in my time and I have to say Kjøller have been the most responsive lender I have ever come across. Although there was considerable interest to work together we couldn't finalise a deal due to local securities. Nevertheless even after knowing we would not proceed their staff went above and beyond to provide recommendations to further assist us. Keep up the great work!!

Aman TiwariReview about Kjøller's feedback and help.
I had the opportunity to engage with Kjøller regarding our pre-seed startup. While we didn’t secure funding, the team was extremely supportive and insightful. They provided detailed feedback on our pitch, business model, and strategy, helping us see gaps we hadn’t considered. Beyond that, they shared recommendations for other relevant VCs and investors, which shows they genuinely want founders to succeed, not just invest.
The experience was highly professional, yet personal and approachable, and I left the conversation feeling more confident and equipped to grow our startup. I would highly recommend Kjøller to early-stage founders looking for both capital and strategic guidance.
We reached out to Kjøller team to explore funding options for Anubhooti Vidya LLP. While it became clear that we were not the right fit at our current stage, the team handled the process with a high degree of professionalism and thoughtfulness. Instead of a generic rejection, they took time to understand our business, provided clear reasons for their decision, and shared constructive feedback along with relevant alternative investor options, which is particularly valuable for early-stage founders evaluating investor fit. They were also open to follow-up questions and offered practical guidance on revenue milestones, KPIs, and early-stage pitfalls. The experience left us with a strong positive impression. Even without an immediate investment, the interaction was valuable and respectful, and we would be happy to engage again in the future if there is a better stage fit. We appreciate the work they are doing and wish them continued success.

Niels Ole Sinkbæk SørensenDirector, AutoVoB Advisory Board – Asia
As an early start-up company, AutoVoB reached out to Kjøller to discuss the opportunity of them becoming a Seed 1 round and/or Seed 2 round investor in the company.
The online process of submitting the initial investment request was smooth and easy without having to go into too much detail. A few extra questions for further details came by email after the request, again without needing to go too much into detail and just using a few bullet points.
Even though our individual needs did end up not matching for an investment, Kjøller did not only share a list of other potential investment companies that might turn out to be a better match for us, but also gave some other recommendations for how to structure an investment request when approaching investors which was truly amazing and very helpful for us.
So even if I cannot comment on Kjøller as an investment partner, the initial approach of submitting the request and their willingness to support us despite not being open to investing is truly appreciated and would offer value to anyone looking to work with them.
KJØLLER is truly an exceptional VC fund that approaches investing with a high level of professionalism and strategic dedication. Their ability to identify early-stage potential and provide not just capital, but also valuable guidance, makes them a standout partner for ambitious startups. Their global perspective and commitment to the long-term success of the companies they invest in are especially commendable. I highly recommend KJØLLER as a reliable and visionary investment partner.

It was an awesome experience with Kjoller. Their response to every mail was very swift, their show of concern to every details was top notch and lastly, there style of communication and sharing of information to help you achieve your dreams is what blew my mind.

Kjoller provided an excellent experience throughout our application process. Even though we didn’t move forward, their communication was clear, respectful, and genuinely thoughtful. The evaluation felt fair and well-structured, which we truly appreciated as founders.
A small suggestion would be to make eligibility or “good fit” criteria more explicit upfront, such as stage requirements or excluding blockchain-native projects, which could help teams self-assess before applying.
Overall, a great organization doing serious and professional work.

Working with Kjøller was a genuinely positive experience. The process was clear, respectful, and intellectually honest from start to finish. Even though Rewaiq is still pre-revenue and not yet within their current investment scope, the feedback I received was thoughtful, constructive, and encouraging. What stood out most was the quality of engagement — real effort was made to understand the business model, risks, and long-term vision, rather than giving a generic rejection. The additional guidance and investor recommendations were also very helpful at this early stage. I highly respect Kjøller’s professionalism, transparency, and founder-first approach, and I would gladly engage with them again as the company grows.
Although my project didn't qualify for assistance because we are pre-revenue, I was handled professionally and was directed to significant number of potential funding partners for my level of operations. Not many would have done that and I think this company will continue to scale

While they were not able to invest at this stage due to their focus on revenue-generating companies, their transparency was refreshing. I especially appreciated the detailed recommendations, alternative funding pathways, and practical guidance on traction, KPIs, and next steps.

They were excellent and detailed in their response as to why we are not a fit. I appreciated the thorough feedback. Plus, they shared resources with us and potential investors we could speak with. Grateful! I strongly believe one day Kjøller will be a partner of ours!
The 24hr reply was respected and the Investment Manager sent me a very valuable feedback, tips and advices for a newcomer in VC world. This us remarkable. Thank you very much for the professional support.

I completed Kjoller’s investor application form last night, and by the following morning, I received a thoughtful and heartwarming response from their team. Although my organisation was not awarded the sponsorship, primarily because our work as a social impact–driven NGO does not align with their profit-oriented investment focus, I was genuinely impressed by the level of care and support they extended.
They provided valuable leads that I could explore for alternative sponsorship opportunities, along with a complimentary KPI tracker to help strengthen my future applications. What stood out most to me was the evident care with which my application was reviewed. They acknowledged the clarity, structure, and depth of my submission, as well as the history and purpose behind my mission to promote civility across schools, tertiary institutions, care homes, and healthcare facilities.
This thoughtful engagement was deeply encouraging and reaffirmed my commitment to the work we do.
I am writing this review with great pleasure coz thre team kjoller gives us a promt and convincing reply for our applications. It may help us to be capbale to create more consitant work to attain the goal.
Interacting with Kjoller has been, without a doubt, the most humble and professional investor relationship we have ever experienced.
The generous feedback regarding our startup, combined with the positive and uplifting words about our business idea and the founders' backgrounds, was truly encouraging. But mostly, the way we were received was simply incredible. One of their investment managers actually took the time to provide additional investor lists, specific recommendations, and concrete ideas on opportunities and strategic options.
This is exactly how every company should be treated. Kjoller is a textbook example of a respectful and genuinely interested investor. They act not merely as a financial institution, but as a strategic dialogue partner who truly wishes the best for the companies they interact with. We are endlessly grateful for this interaction and the kind approach that every founder deserves. They appear to be a dream partner in every sense, and one can only aspire to enter into a partnership with an organization of such high caliber.

Was looking for funding for investment in my new company in Tanzania. But I had not qualified as the company not yet operated. Therefore, was difficult to access funds. I received it positively as will start business slowly to get numbers. My company is KISHORE INVESTMENT COMPANY LIMITED
I had a great experience applying through kjoller. Their team was professional, fast, and transparent throughout the process. Even though we were not selected for funding, the communication was clear, the questions were thoughtful, and the overall journey felt supportive. I truly appreciate their commitment to helping founders and would gladly recommend kjoller to others.
Kjoller was recently recommended to me as a possible financial backer to help build Bermuda's first Zip Line.
This project is genuinely special - both as a tourism draw and as something that will provide our local youth, families and visitors a new way to experience the island.
Although Kjoller is currently unable to back this project at this time, their assigned representative responded promptly and went far and above what I expected, providing candid beneficial recommendations of alternative funding options while also applauding my efforts to date. Professionally, they are an all inclusive Venture Capital Company who are not just focused on investment but willingly provide solutions to their clients and potential customers.
As a founder. That kind of unsolicited support and advice will help me carry this project over the finish line.
Kjoller was excellent to work with through our fundraising journey. Their evaluation process is efficient and thoughtful, and they stood out for the quality of feedback and guidance they provided. Regardless of company fit for their investment portfolio, they genuinely care about the success of the startups they engage with.

I was not able to get the finance I needed for my start-up, thanks to the team for taking out time to explain to me that the company does not invest in Pre-seed
But I got something equivalent to finance or even more, kind adjectives to describe me, even without knowing me, and an helping hand on how and where to go in search of what I am looking for and a real-time response
So, this is me saying a heartfelt thank you to the team.
I had a very positive experience interacting with Kjøller during the application process. The questions were thoughtful and clearly designed to understand the real state of the business, not just the pitch. Even though the stage was not the right fit yet, the feedback was honest, respectful, and genuinely helpful. I really appreciated the transparency and the time taken to share relevant guidance and resources.
Your approach is simple and any seeker can share their thoughts easily with well guided questionnaire. Your assessment is transparent and not discouraging even the seeker profile does not fall in line with your investment plans. personally appreciate your recommendations which might suit my profile.
It was an amazing experience engaging with Kjoller. I sincerely appreciate your prompt responses, clear communication, and genuine support throughout the process. The team demonstrated professionalism, transparency, and respect, making the entire experience smooth, insightful, and highly valuable. I’m grateful for your time and engagement.
We applied to Kjøller with our startup, Aithro, and were impressed by how carefully they reviewed our submission and website. The feedback was thoughtful, transparent, and came with clear guidance on next steps and relevant investors, which was genuinely helpful at our stage.

I especially appreciated the transparency and the time taken to understand my project and provide meaningful insights. A great team with a professional and human approach.

Edward OpioThank you!
It is rare that a VC who says no actually leaves you feeling helped, rather than hearing the generic “you are not the right fit at this time” or “you are outside our geographical scope”.
With your objective yet considerate feedback, you have far exceeded that and made us feel genuinely supported through the carefully curated advice you offered. Others have a lot to learn from you.

It was pleasing to get quite intricate questions regarding my milling business
We had a strong and constructive exchange with the Kjøller team during our fundraising process. They engaged deeply with our product, market, and founder background, and shared valuable perspective and connections. The team is decisive, thoughtful, and very respectful of founders’ time.
For founders looking for investors who engage seriously and bring real insight beyond just capital, Kjøller stands out.

Kjoller is doing a good job. I like the fact that there's direction and zeal to support SMEs. If our society must be better, it begins with creating jobs. Well done. For now, U-park Nigeria limited does not have a website but once one is created , it would surely be shared.

My experience with Kjøller's investment team, was outstanding despite not receiving funding at this stage.
As a solo game developer from Indonesia, I submitted my early-stage game studio for consideration. The investment team provided one of the most constructive, transparent, and helpful rejections I've ever received. They took the time to acknowledge the effort behind launching a game alone, offered clear reasoning tailored to my specific situation, and—most importantly—provided a curated list of relevant investor contacts and actionable advice for my next steps.
This level of professionalism and genuine founder support is rare. It left me more motivated than before and gave me a clear roadmap to progress. Kjøller clearly cares about building long-term relationships within the ecosystem, not just immediate deals.
For context, I am the founder of Megabat Games Studio, and the game I built and launched alone is Iron Bird Warrior Fight, which can be found here:
Kjoller’s feedback was structured, thoughtful, and grounded in real-world investor expectations.
What I appreciated most was the focus on capital efficiency, governance, and execution discipline rather than chasing vanity metrics or inflated narratives. The process helped me step back, refine my assumptions, and align my short-term operating KPIs with long-term brand and valuation goals.
For founders who are serious about building durable businesses and not just raising capital, Kjoller offers a perspective that is both honest and constructive.
I recently navigated the offerings of Kjoller and their offerings via their website and was pleasantly satisfied with; * The extent of the information available * The clarity of their requirements * The layout of their questionnaire * The speed of their responses ( within 24 hrs) * The depth of understanding of where my business is within its lifecycle * Their willingness to offer substantial advice * How I was directed towards resources from within my own region of Southern Africa * Their analyses of the marketplace SPES Africa Ltd operates within * The quality of their overall operation * The feelgood factor they offered from the high quality of their entire operation and business model

Holler operates with a level of professionalism and analytical discipline, that is refreshing.And today's fundraising landscape.They're screening process is rigorous structure and clearly designed to respect both the investor mandate and the founders time.The questions are substantive don't fully framed in force , clarity around strategy governance and execution , exactly what sir companies should expect what stands out most is the quality of feedback even when there is a stage mismatch Kjoller communicates, decision transparently and constructively with clear reasoning. Rather than generic reject language, the willingness to acknowledge strong fundamentals while being disciplined about mandate fits reflects institutional maturity. Holler is not optimized for hype or volume They are optimized for alignment for founders , building real defensible businesses , especially in complex or regulated domains that level of honesty and rigor is valuable when the timing align , this is the type of platform and team founders would want engaging with their company DOMURA TECHNOLOGIES GROUP
The review process was fast, detailed and target oriented. Thanks for the time given to review our project.

Kjoller give meaningful and timely feedback. Though my company did not qualify for their investment funding, but my request for suggestions on platforms that would fund my kind of business was taken seriously by Kjoller, and I hope the resources they availed me would do the magic. Thank you Kjoller.
Most amazing, understanding and helpful people! Instead of a just "no" they really guided me in the direction I should go - in pursuit of what I was hoping to achieve. Very mentoring kind of investor!!
My experience with Kjøller has been very professional, transparent, and respectful. The team took the time to carefully review my application, provided clear and honest feedback, and explained their investment criteria in a straightforward manner. Even though they were not able to proceed due to our pre-revenue stage, they went the extra mile by sharing relevant investor recommendations and practical resources that are genuinely useful for founders. I appreciated the constructive approach, integrity, and encouragement throughout the process, and I would highly recommend Kjøller to entrepreneurs seeking thoughtful and principled investors.
1. Timely, great & genuine feedback. 2. Clear understanding of our venture in a regulated space. Clear understanding of the pain points we want to address. 3.

I have never seen such a straightforward and clear application in my founder journey. The questions are very precise and feel like they truly understand what it means to be a founder. One thing I particularly like is that it asks for formal or informal financial statements—it recognizes that many early-stage founders may not yet have formal records. I also really appreciate how thoughtful and encouraging the responses are. It truly can’t get better than this.

i give KJOLLER five star for their effectiveness, positivity, kind and polite even when the contact person delivers a decline offer. John Morgan insight after reviewing our investment plan came with a positive professional front with links for possible options. I am still will continue with the KJOLLER platform till i meet my right "yes". thank you and am sure to pursue investment portfolio in from this platform
Kjøller’s process was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely supportive. The feedback and recommendations I received were practical, honest, and encouraging. It’s clear they care about long-term impact, not just transactions. I truly appreciate the guidance and would recommend Kjøller to founders seeking meaningful, value driven engagement. Thanks
The initial process of submission of application and review mechanism is transparent, most importantly the detailed feedback on your application is a welcome step which rare from investors.
I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller through their investment screening process. The questions were well-structured, thoughtful, and clearly designed to understand both the business fundamentals and the founder’s mindset.
Even though SkyFinesse is still at an early, pre-revenue stage, the feedback I received was transparent, constructive, and genuinely helpful. I particularly appreciated the clarity around their investment focus, as well as the practical suggestions and resources shared for the next steps.
Kjøller approaches founders with professionalism, respect, and a long-term perspective. I would highly recommend them to entrepreneurs looking for a serious, disciplined, and founder-aligned investment partner.

Kjøller provided a highly professional, transparent, and constructive review process. The feedback was thoughtful, well-structured, and clearly grounded in real investment discipline. Even where our company was not yet a fit for their current mandate, the team took the time to offer honest insights, highlight key execution priorities, and point us toward relevant alternative investor pathways. The process demonstrated integrity, respect for founders, and a long-term mindset that is rare in early-stage investment screening. I would strongly recommend Kjøller to founders and investors seeking serious, high-quality engagement.
I was pleasantly surprised at the personalised guidance I received. They couldn't fund me, as I'm at seed capital stages but I received frank investment advise and directions to more appropriate channels of funding. I think what I appreciated the most is that I was regarded as an equal, a peer with something very valuable and not as an object to extract from. It's that bona fide that will lead me to return to the organization once I have secured seed funding as this is the kind of investment guidance that I would appreciate on my journey.
Kjøller's investments were encouraging, supportive, and respectful. They described OpenSoul AI's governance-grade approach as genuinely interesting and noted that Triton and Sage stand out for real decision-time governance. They highlighted the strength of the thinking around enterprise risk, auditability, long sales cycles, and disciplined capital deployment for maximum financial returns.

To start with, Kjoller is an excellant organization to associate.
It is an wonderful experience. In the long run, definately, I will try to reach you to explore suitable opportunity.
We received from Kjoller a genuinely professional and thoughtful feedback. The questions were precise, and being asked so thoroughly helped us clarify our real tasks, priorities, and goals. The process itself was valuable, not just the outcome. Even if the answer was ultimately no, thank you for the time and care you put into it.

I found Kjoller via Linkedin and reached for capital raise partnerships. Within 24 hours they had already given me feedback. In capital markets feedback turnaround is very key and plays a significant role in decision making turnaround. By engaging with the portfolio manager, we instantly shared ideologies and instantly created a professional relationship. This is a good thing

Honestly, when I wrote in, I wasn’t even expecting feedback, as is often the case with such enquiries. However, I received positive feedback on my project and more, which was extremely helpful. It has validated my project and, as such, I am more fired up about it than ever.
Thoughtful, Supportive, and Truly Professional - Although Kjøller did not fund my project, they were incredibly generous with their time, feedback, and insights. Their input was thoughtful, honest, and clearly driven by experience and genuine care for quality and long-term success.
It’s rare to find people who are so willing to help, even when there’s nothing immediate in it for them. That speaks volumes about their integrity and professionalism. I have great respect for Kjøller and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a brand that leads with expertise and values.
Kjøller provided constructive feedback to Famus Bentala Indonesia (Famus), a newly established Oil & Gas Company operating in Indonesia. Although Famus has not yet entered into a collaboration with Kjøller, they still offered positive input.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to KJOLLER for the exceptional advice they provided on my business project, Victoria GreenSkills Academy.
Based on my detailed responses to their form, they were able to give me very concrete and actionable recommendations, precisely tailored to my needs and challenges.
These tips are incredibly rich – so dense and relevant that I keep them preciously as a valuable guide.
I’m gradually putting them into practice, and I’m already seeing the lessons learned transform my approach and boost my project. It’s rare to receive such an impactful and well-structured contribution!
I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to advance their business in an effective and sustainable way.
Working with Kjoller was a thoughtful and grounded experience. Their feedback went beyond surface-level fundraising advice and helped me think more clearly about sequencing, governance, and long-term execution and especially important when building infrastructure in a conservative sector like education.
What stood out was their ability to ask the right questions early: not just about pitch readiness, but about product discipline, timing, and investor alignment. For founders building something complex and long-term, that perspective is genuinely valuable.
I appreciated the honesty, patience, and clarity they brought to the conversation, and I would recommend Kjoller to founders who want realistic guidance rather than generic startup playbooks.

Dabira AI focuses on AI-driven, real-time database analysis.

We deeply appreciate the professionalism and depth Kjøller brought to this dialogue. The constructive feedback, curated investor resources, and emphasis on disciplined KPI tracking reflect a genuine commitment to founders' success. While structural differences prevented immediate collaboration, the experience reinforced our confidence in our strategy and network alignment. We look forward to staying connected and exploring future opportunities where our models converge. Thank you for exemplifying the highest standards of partnership.

I received honest feedback though it wasn't my expectation. It was a message of motivation and encouragement to work even harder to grow my company in terms of revenue.
The team was very responsive asking insightful questions that helped us better shape our message. We could not reach an agreement, but we did (I hope) leave the interaction with an enriching encounter.
We appreciated Kjoller's depth of knowledge in structuring investments. The conversation helped us refine our capital strategy and look at more suitable options in the market. Professional, insightful, and very founder-supportive interaction.

Working with Kjøller has been a refreshing experience. They engage deeply with purpose-driven companies and give thoughtful, practical feedback — especially valuable for early deep-tech ventures like ours in water infrastructure.

A Firm That Didn’t Invest But Still Fuelled My Fire
Kjøller may have passed for now, but their response was one of the most empowering pieces of feedback I’ve received on this journey.
They saw the vision behind Parasol Virtual a Human + AI ecosystem for NZ and the Pacific and acknowledged the grit, the groundwork, and the mission. Their “no” didn’t feel like rejection; it felt like redirection.
And here’s the truth:
Their encouragement made me even more determined to find the right investor someone who sees what we’re building and wants to be part of it.
Kjøller reminded me that great founders don’t stop at a no.
We recalibrate. We rise. We keep going.
And thanks to them, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Thank You
Really positive experience with Kjøller. The investment process was clear, structured, and genuinely founder-friendly. Their team provided thoughtful feedback within 24 hours of our application, which helped us refine our focus as we move from pilot to scaling revenue. Even though we were too early, the process was transparent and constructive. Highly recommended for startups aiming to grow with disciplined execution.
“Our interaction with Kjøller significantly strengthened our understanding of investor expectations and early-stage growth requirements. While Tymland Investments was not yet at the scale suited for their portfolio, the guidance we received was exceptionally clear, constructive, and supportive. Kjøller helped us refine our financial focus, clarify key performance indicators, and better structure our investment strategy. Their detailed feedback and curated investor leads provided a practical roadmap for our next steps. We are grateful for the transparency, depth of insight, and encouragement offered throughout the process.”
The Kjøller team made a full approach on what to analyze and all the possible perspectives we should have in the market. A very professional approach, right to the point and listening and respond fast to our needs Thanks to the team
I’ve applied for pre-seed funding on various platforms, but Kjøller was the only one that responded promptly with detailed guidance on how to move forward. Even if I don’t secure funding from Kjøller, the mentorship and direction they’ve provided already holds significant value.
I found the application process with Kjøller genuinely valuable. The depth and structure of the questions pushed me to tighten our story and think more clearly about how we explain and present a sustainable protein business, which is not something you often get during an initial investment review. Their communication throughout was clear and straightforward, which made it easy to understand exactly what they were looking for.
What stood out the most was the personalised guidance. The feedback wasn’t generic; it was clearly based on a real understanding of what we’re trying to build and the challenges of scaling a new protein source in a meaningful way. I wasn’t expecting that level of thought or the investor recommendations they shared, and I really appreciated it.
It felt like founder to founder advice more than a formal rejection.
Overall, a very positive experience, and one I would recommend to other early stage founders working on ambitious ideas that need thoughtful, structured evaluation.
I have had a genuinely positive experience with Kjoller. Even though we weren’t at the right stage for an investment match, they treated the conversation with care, respect & real thoughtfulness. Their team took the time to understand our journey & went that extra mile by sharing honest feedback, guidance & relevant resources, which will definitely set us up further in the right direction. It's not often that you come across such genuine people in the investment space who truly value relationships alongside business.
My experience engaging with Kjøller in relation to the EYDMA initiative has been exceptionally positive and strategically enriching. The team provided insightful, actionable advice that demonstrated both deep professional expertise and a genuine commitment to supporting impactful ventures. Their feedback reflected a strong understanding of how to position youth-focused digital innovation as a scalable, investment-ready initiative. I was particularly impressed by the level of care, clarity, and thoughtful guidance they extended throughout the process. Their encouragement toward blending a robust business framework with meaningful opportunities for young people reaffirmed the long-term vision we are building with EYDMA. Kjøller’s professionalism, responsiveness, and strategic perspective made the interaction both valuable and energizing. I sincerely appreciate the support and look forward to continued collaboration as we work to elevate EYDMA to the next level.
Though the decision was not favorable (my Cayman Islands based blockchain and digital assets venture was too new), it was evident that Kjoller took the time to research my niche market and provided direction to other potentially useful avenues. I truly appreciated that!
Kjøller delivered a thoughtful and structured review of our application, with clear guidance tailored to our stage and business model. Their approach demonstrated professionalism, transparency, and a genuine interest in helping founders navigate the investment landscape. We appreciate the depth of insight and the high-quality investor leads shared, which will directly strengthen our fundraising strategy going forward.
I highly recommend engaging with the Kjøller A/S team. Although we ultimately did not close a deal due to our strict adherence to Sharia-compliant Mudarabah financing, the process was a textbook example of professionalism and transparency.
Great company and best team!!! We didn't bind together as VC fund&startup for now (may be later) but I was so motivated and supported to climb further. Wish them the best in the mission to bring progress in every home and for everyone!!!
Sent the detailed application in for investment consideration and received a very prompt and detailed reply within 24 hours. What was refreshing is the fact that they actually explained why they declined the investment and they went on to provide guidance on who to contact. I been through many Investors and those who say NO - they dont really give you any constructive feedback as to why they said no- these guys did. HOWEVER one constructive criticism would be that they (Kjoller) clearly state their investment criteria/parameters on their website BEFORE one proceeds to fill out all the questions ( and there is a lot ) . In our case the main reason for decline seemed to be the stage we are at - pre rev with no traction. Had we known this upfront then most likely we would not have divulged all our info.
Wonderful review and thought through feedback by the Kjøller team. Loved how they shared their thoughts on what could help us and be more investor aligned for our future pitches.
I am rating you one of the excellent responsible fund raisers on earth. Why because you were able acknowledged our ability to establish and grow in a harshest environment on earth.

I was truly amazed by the turn around time. I put in my application and within 24hrs, I received a very clear response. This is truly amazing and very encouraging for any one that wants to pitch an investment deck.
I had a great experience talking with the Kjøller team. They gave very clear, structured feedback and took the time to understand my business in detail. Their guidance, suggestions, and recommendations were genuinely helpful. I really appreciate the professionalism and the support, as they made the whole process feel smooth and respectful.
I recently went through Kjøller’s investment application process and was impressed by their professionalism and transparency. Although my application was not approved, the team provided fair, constructive feedback and shared valuable recommendations that were genuinely helpful for my journey. Their communication was clear, timely, and respectful throughout the entire process. I appreciate the integrity they bring to early-stage investing and would confidently recommend founders to engage with them.
I recently connected with Kjøller regarding a funding opportunity, and although my project was not the right "stage fit" for their portfolio, the experience was honestly top-tier. Their team was incredibly supportive — they didn’t just respond, they showed up. The representative I engaged with went out of their way to guide me, share insights, and make sure I knew my work was valued.
It’s rare to find an organization that treats people with this level of respect, transparency, and genuine kindness, especially when you’re not even a beneficiary. If this is how they handle a “no,” I can only imagine how exceptional they are when it’s a “yes.”
Highly recommended for anyone exploring opportunities with ethical, thoughtful, and truly people-centric organizations.

I had a great time working with the Kjøller investment team. They really did keep their promise to respond within 24 hours. I got a thoughtful, detailed, and clear answer within that time frame. The feedback was helpful, respectful, and constructive for a company like ours that is just starting out and has a lot of capital costs.
They took the time to understand our vision, carefully look over the project, and give us advice that will help us move forward, even though we haven't made any money yet. What really stands out is how professional, clear, and honest they are when they talk to each other.
I like how honest the team is and how much they value the time of founders. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to connect with investors in an honest, timely, and high-quality way.
I got in contact with Kjoller for our B series investment. Even though we finally did not make the deal due to investment conditions required by Kjoller, I was very happy about the pragmatic conversation and the advices they provided us to find the right investor. It really brough value to us. Thank you. Christophe M.
It was very quick & direct conversation we had with Sam, he was very transparent about the process, unfortunately we did not go further. Otherwise we had very direct and professional conversations
Thanks to Sam for a quick and constructive reply, even in our case we didn't suite as company that they were ready to invest. We got serious attention to the our company with many suggestions for how to continue our search for the investor.
We appreciate the warm support and thoughtful engagement from Kjoller. Their encouragement strengthens our resolve as we continue building sustainable, farmer-centered agroecology systems and delivering premium Ntamba Coffee to global markets. Partnerships like these inspire us to keep elevating quality, empowering rural communities, and advancing Uganda’s presence in the international coffee sector.
Kjoller makes pitching to investors easy and surprisingly enjoyable. The process was friendly and professional, and the team was incredibly responsive. They showed genuine interest in what I’m building and, even though my project wasn’t funded, they provided valuable resources and links to other platforms where I could pitch for funding.
Kjøller impressed us from the start. They recognized the effort behind our project and provided invaluable feedback on our fundraising strategy. Their encouragement was genuine, their insights were practical, and their expertise in capital raising is evident. A truly professional team that invests in their clients' success. Highly recommended!
I recently reached out to KJOLLER, and I was genuinely impressed by their approach. They responded incredibly quickly and took the time to review our entire pitch deck, even though we did not fall within their investment criteria or business category.
Despite this, they still provided us with detailed, high-quality feedback, including strategic insights and angles that we hadn’t considered before. They also suggested excellent tools and resources to help us approach the right investors more effectively.
I am immensely grateful for the valuable website recommendations and guidance they shared. Their professionalism, clarity, and willingness to help—despite not being a direct fit—truly stand out.
Highly recommended for any startup seeking honest, thoughtful, and constructive investor feedback.
It's really great interaction with the people concerned of this company who are very helpful and ready to support against financial requirements for companies like us.
I want to appreciate the team for the time, openness, and support they gave us throughout the process. Even though the investment didn’t go through, I genuinely value how professional and encouraging they were.
They listened, asked the right questions, and treated our vision with respect. That alone meant a lot. Not every investor gives you that kind of experience.
I’m grateful for the guidance and the positive energy they shared. I’d confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a serious and supportive partner.

Raymond MaiyoCEO
Kjøller was one of the most straightforward and respectful investor experiences I’ve had. They moved fast, asked sharp questions, and actually took the time to understand our model at PeerCarbon. ,The feedback was specific, useful, and genuinely thoughtful not generic VC language.
If you want an investor who evaluates with clarity and real professionalism, Kjøller sets a high bar.
Great insights regarding my service, they were really kind encouraging me an recognizing the good and hard work I've put thus far.

Tuncer A. OguzMr.
Even though I have been accepted because of not having a company, Kjoller gave me too much feedback about my project. I am happy to share my idea and project with Business plan. I will get in touch when I am much more ready.
Even though my startup wasn’t the right fit yet, Kjøller went above expectations with actionable feedback and investor recommendations tailored to Africa and fintech. Their team shows real respect for early founders and understands the challenges of building from scratch. Highly recommend them to any startup looking for smart, founder-friendly investors.
I’m grateful for the professionalism and kindness of the Kjøller team. They reviewed my application with real attention and sincerity, and their feedback was detailed, constructive, and encouraging. Even though I was not selected, they took the time to guide me toward other funding pathways and shared resources that can truly help an early-stage founder. Their approach shows genuine care for entrepreneurs and a deep respect for every project they assess. Thank you for treating my work with seriousness and for supporting founders beyond the investment decision.
I was so impressed that I received immediate contact on how i could scale my company in the diamond on investment and even if we did not manage to seal the deal i wanted to- they have me a list of all investment houses to reach out to especially those in my region. I thought that was amazing
Although we didn't make the deal, I really enjoyed speed of the feedback and overall approach during discovery phase. We've also got very valuable feedback which will definitely help us down the road.
Working with the team at Kjøller was genuinely valuable for us. Their feedback was sharp, practical, and rooted in real operating experience not theory. The questions they pushed us to answer helped us refine our strategy, restructure our expansion plan, and ultimately make stronger, leaner decisions as we scale across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. I highly recommend them to any founder looking for honest, constructive guidance that actually moves the company forward.

Margaret EllisonAdministrator/ Teacher Assistant/Librarian
I am truly grateful for the advice and pointers which will help me to plan my project well. Thank you and God Almighty bless you abundantly always.
Thank you, Kjoller Team, for your valuable assistance with my investment inquiry. We especially appreciate your efforts in connecting us with the relevant contact and portfolio opportunities aligned with our startup business
My recent interactions with Kjøller have been marked by a level of professional rigour and institutional sophistication that merits commendation. The organisation exhibits a disciplined approach to investment assessment, underpinned by substantive due-diligence processes, transparent communication, and an evident commitment to principled, impact-aligned financing. Such qualities are increasingly rare in contemporary capital markets and speak to the firm’s internal culture of integrity and measured judgement.
What has been particularly notable is Kjøller’s capacity to engage with complex commercial propositions through a balanced prism of financial prudence and developmental foresight. Their evaluative methodology reflects not merely transactional competence, but a deeper understanding of the economic and societal ecosystems within which transformative ventures must operate. This alignment is of material significance to initiatives such as ours, where the interplay between commercial viability and long-term socio-economic value creation is central.
Kjøller’s conduct throughout our engagement has demonstrated consistency, clarity, and an adherence to best practice that inspires confidence in prospective partners. In an environment where responsible capital is indispensable, Kjøller distinguishes itself as an institution capable of stewarding resources with both discernment and purpose.
I look forward to the possibility of further collaboration and to advancing discussions toward a partnership capable of delivering durable and measurable impact.
Thoughtful, Respectful, and Incredibly Helpful I deeply appreciate the time and care the team invested in reviewing my case. While it wasn’t the right fit for their current focus, their response stood out for its clarity, encouragement, and generosity. They acknowledged the heart behind my work and offered a curated list of alternative investors and platforms that align more closely with my stage. Beyond that, they shared practical tools, insightful resources, and even a warm referral—each of which has already helped me take meaningful next steps. It’s rare to receive such a constructive and human response during the fundraising journey. Thank you for treating early-stage founders with such respect and thoughtfulness. Your approach makes a real difference.
Thanks for almost immediate response about potential cooperation and suggestions how to improve the fund raising. And what is very important - very precise advising for new local sources of fund raising. Very supportive and motivational!
Kjøller’s tools and insights have quietly fueled key improvements across Recruitment Room and RR JobCopilot. Thoughtfully curated, built for execution, and aligned with what investors and businesses alike need.
I had a great experience interacting with the Kjøller team. They were incredibly fast — replying within just a couple of hours — and their communication was clear, professional and genuinely helpful. Even though we didn’t move forward, they took the time to explain exactly why our case fell outside their investment scope and shared detailed guidance and resources to help us connect with more suitable investors. I truly appreciate their honesty and support throughout the process.
Respectful, clear, and fast. Kjøller passed on ATJ for stage/fit reasons but shared the right advice: prove predictability (GMV + repeat) and align working capital to export cycles. That’s the kind of investor conversation that actually helps a founder execute. — Harry Wright, Founder, All Things Japan (https://allthingsjapan.co.jp)
The application review process was quick and efficient. The team was incredibly supportive and helpful, providing valuable resources that made a big difference

Kjøller team responds very fast on each submitted cases and provides meaningful feedbacks, suggestions and actionable recommendations. Definitely distinctive service level amongst the others. Keep it up!
The response time was less than 24hrs. While my application wasn’t successful, I really appreciated the feedback on my product and guidance provided on how I could navigate the fundraising journey. Thank you.
Our experience with the Kjøller team was excellent. Even though our opportunity wasn’t an immediate fit for their current focus, the process was fast, transparent, and founder-centric. The candid, actionable feedback sharpened our go-to-market and scaling plans, and their guidance went beyond capital by sharing experience and network. A reliable partner with integrity highly recommended.

I love how professional this team is at Kjoller, even if your project is not in line with their portfolio they still encourage you and recommend your project to those might suit your project portfolio and that is a positive thing for as long as I have been raising funds for our project. I really recommend them to anyone 100%. They don't waste your time and it took me 12 hours at most to get response from the team after review of my application.
“Fast response exactly as promised. Kjoller’s evaluation of our project was fair and clear, with sound, practical recommendations. Honest, professional, and genuinely supportive—even though our project was beyond their investment scope. I highly recommend Kjoller to any founder seeking straight answers and actionable next steps.”

The team is outstanding. They have great expertise in creating value for entrepreneurs who are seeking funding or raising capital for their ventures.
It was a pleasure communicating with the Kjøller team. Their professionalism, sincerity, and kindness truly stood out. As the Managing Director of Stamina+ Beverage Limited, I found their support and encouragement incredibly inspiring.
Kjøller represents what genuine communication and integrity in business should look like. Highly recommended!
Kjoller has been extremely professional and easy to communicate with throughout our interaction. Their team is well-organized, transparent, and provided valuable insights during the process. I would gladly consider working with them again and recommend them as a credible partner.
Even though we weren’t a fit this round, Kjoller moved fast, gave sharp feedback, and pushed us forward. They are founder-first and I think they offer value beyond capital and hope we might work together in the future.

Not only did he explain in a very encouraging way why they couldn’t consider my business case, but he also included a long list of recommended VC funds and explained each one of them and why they might be a better fit for me. On top of that, he shared a few truly valuable reading recommendations. Wow! That made my day. Thanks a lot, Sam!

The experience was incredible. They kept me on my toes with straight, simple, forward questions, and what I admired most was the response rate and TAT. They were swift. And guess what, me not being eligible did not stop them from giving me very resourceful and valuable leads and information. It was a lovely exchange and I recommend them to every founder. Just through their questions, it will give you an insight into your business direction, especially where to place emphasis, and the key takeaway is your figures. Thank you Kjoller.

Leatile King BaaitseChief Executive Officer, Board-Chair
I've had quite a splendid and lovely experience with kjoller. They have rapid and efficient email correspondence, and will make consistent follow-up accordingly. Moreover, should your proposal not fit the criteria of what they are currently looking for, they will fully explain the parameters of such reasoning and go an extra mile to refer you to ideal institutions that may come of crucial aid in your endeavours, like they did with me. Incredible customer service.
We unfortunately never qualified for their financing, but what I loved about this service was the detailed feedback that they gave and the speed at which you get that feedback and response. The feedback was personal and specific to our business, not generic or AI generated. It included access to tools and resources to help us improve our business and overall pitch, as well as a list of financing options that they believe may be better suited to our our project based on its stage and industry. And, that feedback and response was received in less than 12 hours. So no time wasted. So whether you get funded or not, I promise you that you will get value by simply applying.
I recently reached out to Kjoller about funding for Tessera Tiles, our behavioral science platform addressing team dysfunction. While our opportunity wasn't the right fit for their current investment focus, what happened next genuinely impressed me.
Rather than a simple "thanks but no thanks," they took real time to understand what we're building and provided a curated list of VC firms that might be better aligned with our stage and sector.
In an industry where "no" is common and most investors are understandably time-constrained, this level of thoughtfulness stood out. They treated our work with respect, acknowledged the vision behind Tessera, and equipped us with actionable next steps rather than just closing the door.
This is how you build goodwill in the startup ecosystem—not just by saying yes to investments, but by genuinely helping founders navigate the journey even when you can't participate yourself.
If you're an entrepreneur looking for investors who approach their work with integrity and a collaborative spirit, these are the kind of people worth connecting with.
Grateful for the guidance and rooting for continued success on their end as well. Michael
The experience has been truly wonderful. I submitted my application and received feedback within just a few hours, which I really appreciate. The personalized feedback and thoughtful recommendations were exceptional something I genuinely admire and value.
Thank you for such an excellent experience and outstanding service. I wish you continued success.
We recently engaged with the Kjøller team during our fundraising process at SJ Telehealth Services, and the experience was exceptionally professional and insightful. Even though our project was ultimately outside their current investment focus, their feedback was constructive, transparent, and encouraging. They went above and beyond by suggesting other relevant investors and sharing valuable resources for our growth. I truly appreciate their integrity and genuine support for emerging startups.
Very friendly and professional team who go above and beyond to review your application and are polite enough to give positive feedback even if they are unable to fund your project
Although my proposal wasn’t aligned with their current investment focus, I was genuinely impressed by the professionalism and courtesy of their response. They took the time to review my submission, acknowledged it thoughtfully, and even suggested several relevant organisations and individuals I might approach instead. It showed genuine care for the future and a refreshing level of integrity in how they deal with prospective partners.
I applied to Kjøller for seed funding and was thoroughly impressed. Although my startup wasn't a fit for them, their rejection email was incredibly supportive. They took the time to recommend other specific funds and investors that would be more suitable for my industry. This is a rare and highly respectable approach. It's clear they genuinely care about helping founders succeed, not just closing deals. I'm very grateful for their guidance and professionalism. Highly recommended!
My experience with Kjøller A/S was truly positive and professional. The team responded quickly, provided thoughtful feedback, and even went the extra mile to suggest other investors and resources relevant to my project.

I highly recommend engaging with Kjøller for any founder looking for constructive and respectful investor communication.

Even though our venture was not a fit for Kjoller's current investment focus, the entire process was a profoundly positive experience. The team demonstrated exceptional professionalism, provided insightful feedback, and took the genuine time to understand our business model.
What truly stands out is their commitment to supporting entrepreneurs beyond just a financial transaction. They provided a list of highly relevant investor leads and have created a platform that helps startups with visibility. This supportive ethos is rare and commendable.
I would highly recommend any serious founder to engage with Kjoller, if only to experience a first-class approach to venture capital.
Our funding discussions with Kjøller were highly professional and founder-friendly. Their transparent approach, market insight, and balanced deal structuring made the negotiation collaborative and constructive. A great partner for any startup seeking more than just capital.
I had a very constructive and transparent communication experience with Kjøller. Their team was professional, responsive, and open-minded throughout our discussions. Even though we did not finalize an investment structure this time, I truly appreciate their clarity, integrity, and willingness to explore practical solutions. I highly recommend them as a serious and trustworthy partner.
Overall, the process is quite snappy, straightforward and the investors are SUPER responsive (they reached out within a couple of hours after submitting my proposal). I love that they are a gold mine for information relevant to pitching and funding for startups, and they do provide extensive feedback regarding your application in the most polite yet direct way. You can tell that they are well informed and capable not only as investors but also as advisors.
Would totally recommend their services; I’ll be reaching out to them in future with a more pragmatic and sustainable pitch deck.
Communicating with Kjøller’s team has been an insightful and encouraging experience for the Ecoloop team. We sincerely appreciate the valuable advice and constructive guidance regarding potential funding opportunities for Ecoloop and the facilitation of access to prospective investors interested in supporting our mission.
Kjøller’s team strongly understood impact-driven businesses and the circular economy space. Their feedback helped us sharpen our investment narrative and better align our business model with the expectations of international investors. The professionalism, clarity, and responsiveness shown throughout our discussions were remarkable and have contributed significantly to our current strategic positioning.
We highly value this collaboration and look forward to continuing our engagement with Kjøller as we explore new partnerships and financing opportunities to scale Ecoloop’s traceable and inclusive waste-management system across Indonesia.
Working with the Kjøller team has been a truly professional and insightful experience. Their evaluation process is structured, transparent, and deeply respectful of entrepreneurs’ time and effort.

They not only took the time to review the project in detail but also provided valuable recommendations and investor leads that demonstrate their commitment to helping ventures succeed beyond their own portfolio.
Kjøller stands out as an investor with integrity, depth, and a genuine interest in impact-driven growth. I look forward to future opportunities to engage with them again.
Very helpful professionals, they provide fast responses and give great advice.

I applied to Kjoller.com for my early-stage project AnisaVolt. The process was smooth, supportive, and easy to follow. Even though my idea is still at a very early stage, their team responded kindly, gave useful advice, and even recommended other platforms I could try. Really appreciate their honesty and encouragement — very professional experience!
Although Kjøller did not invest in my company (my valuation was too high for their portfolio), I did appreciated all of the assistance and encouragement they offered in all of their communications.
If I ever start another company, and need early stage funding, I would definitely apply again!
Kjøller Partners has one of the most insightful and founder-friendly investor platforms I’ve come across. The feedback is transparent, detailed, and genuinely aimed at helping founders grow. I truly appreciate how they go beyond a simple yes or no, offering guidance, resources, and connections that add real value. A thoughtful and professional team that clearly understands what early-stage founders need.

I have applied to KJOLLER for a fundraising opportunity and I have received replies made in a very professional way. It was a very quick reply with the polite refusal and a few useful pieces of advice where and how I could research for fundraising in the best way. Thank you very much!
I recently reached out to Kjøller regarding funding for my startup aviation.com.bd. Although my case did not fit their current investment focus, I was truly impressed by the way they responded. Instead of just a “no,” they took the time to carefully review my proposal and then gave me a detailed, thoughtful email with valuable advice, practical resources, and even a list of relevant investors and funds in Bangladesh and the region.
For a first-time founder like me, this was incredibly encouraging. Their approach shows not only professionalism but also a genuine willingness to support entrepreneurs, even when they don’t directly invest.
I am grateful for the guidance, and I highly recommend Kjøller to any entrepreneur seeking investors who are transparent, supportive, and truly care about founders.
Quite responsive and accommodating. It reflects the level of experience and professionalism in the organization. There was a genuine human side to the engagement.

Mi experiencia con KJØLLER fue absolutamente increíble. La atención al cliente fue excepcional, con respuestas rápidas y precisas a todas mis preguntas. Me sentí valorado y atendido en todo momento. La eficiencia y la profesionalidad del equipo de KJØLLER me dejaron una muy buena impresión. Sin duda, recomendaría sus servicios a cualquier persona que busque una experiencia de alta calidad y atención personalizada.
This is by far the fastest investment application feedback I have ever seen. It was literally perhaps few minutes to an hour from when I sent my application to when I received feedback on it. That makes a remarkable difference. Also, the response was incredibly helpful. I got a No but it was with so much useful and helpful information it felt like networking. 10 stars, if that exists.
Our engagement with Kjoller was constructive and professional.
Their team demonstrated a clear understanding of the InsurTech space with one of our award winning product: DigitInsure CRM and asked thoughtful questions that helped us sharpen our positioning.
The dialogue was respectful and insightful, and we appreciated the opportunity to connect.
I have sent them two proposals, and they have always been very responsive and professional. Even if it is not a fit for them, they are happy to help entrepreneurs find funding elsewhere. I hope to work with them one day.
I came across Kjøller through their LinkedIn posts, which led me to explore their website kjoller.com a very well-designed platform where I could find plenty of detailed information. I really appreciate how much effort they put into understanding startups deeply and giving thoughtful feedback.

As a startup in Suriname, I truly appreciated the professionalism and transparency of the Kjøller team throughout the process. Even though our project was not the right fit for their investment structure, they took the time to provide valuable feedback and point us toward relevant alternative options. That guidance is extremely meaningful at this stage. Their approach shows genuine commitment to supporting entrepreneurs beyond just investment, and I am grateful for the encouragement to keep building Jaï-D’Jo SportLink.
Even though I didn’t get the response I expected, I was able to learn some new things and also figure out some loop holes that needs to be filled when sourcing for funding as a startup founder.
We deeply appreciate the time, insights, and guidance provided by Kjøller. Their strategic perspective has offered valuable clarity, helping us refine our approach and focus on opportunities that align with our long-term growth. Beyond the practical advice, their professionalism, experience, and encouragement have been truly inspiring and will continue to shape our journey as we scale and develop our business.
We reached out to Kjøller to see whether there was an opportunity to collaborate and inject some angel capital into the Pretectum Customer MDM project we have underway.
In this case, we were not a strong fit with the areas they focus on. However, Sam Morgan provided valuable ideas and shared details of other funding avenues we could pursue, along with insightful resources worth considering.
The application process itself was also useful in validating our own thinking around value and positioning.
The process was good. There were a lot of questions, but that's great because it's everything Kjoller wants to know. Also, I received good feedback, and he even took the trouble to look for other places for me to apply. It's clear they take the process seriously. Thanks!
Although we didn't make any deal and it was only 3 days of exchanging emails, I am very happy and satisfied with the prompt response that shows a lot. You guys are real investors who don't waste time and evaluate every and each opportunity across the globe. Thank you.
I recently had the chance to interact with Kjoller, and it was a really positive experience. They were thoughtful, approachable, and genuinely curious about the vision behind FoodQwik.

We truly appreciate the candid feedback!

I truly appreciate their openness and guidance, and I’d highly recommend them to any founder looking for thoughtful investors.
As a 6x founder with three successful exits, I have interacted with countless investors and venture firms throughout my career. Yet, I can confidently say that Kjøller Venture stands out as one of the most founder-friendly VCs I have ever encountered.
When I applied for https://estaie.com, I was fascinated with their process.
Their responsiveness is remarkable—founders receive replies within minutes or hours, never left waiting or ignored. More importantly, they demonstrate genuine care. Before even deep-diving into the opportunity, they take the time to ask the right questions, understand the nuances, and ensure alignment.
Their terms are bold, straightforward, and, most importantly, designed with early-stage growth in mind. This combination of founder empathy, speed, and clarity sets them apart in a crowded industry.
I would recommend Kjøller Venture to every startup I mentor, and I wish them continued success in shaping the future of venture capital.
I had a very good experience trying to reach out for an investment for my company. The back and forth talk on email was fast and efficient. Eventhough I didn't get to receive an investment, I had learned a lot and gained many insights on business. I would like to say thank you so much for all of Kjoller team for such seamless experience.
Kjoller is a great vc although we weren’t accepted , I can say they take time to go through applications and they do that in just a few hours after submission. They also recommended other vcs that would be a good fit for us.
Received positive feedback and prompt response from the team for future growth and local financial institutions. Thanks for your valuable insights and recommendations for the growth of our company. Warm regards Dr. Ali

You have been most helpful and kind with your response. What impressed me the most, was the swiftness of your replies. Furthermore, you have given us various interesting insights. Highly appreciated!
The most useful pass I have received. As a pre-revenue SaaS founder, I appreciated how Kjøller handled our pitch: fast reply, clear rationale, and importantly actionable help. They shared a curated list of investors better suited to our stage and geography and recommended KPI tools to keep our metrics investor-ready. It is rare to get this level of respect and practicality in a pass. Thank you, Sam and team.
Significant thought was put into our submission, and while we were too early stage, we were provided sufficient information to expand our search for the right investors.
My experience was excellent. Although we couldn't close the deal due to my hesitance around equity dilution, I really appreciated the process. The team was exceptionally responsive and provided generous, thoughtful feedback and suggestions. I genuinely valued the interaction and the professionalism throughout.
Although my application with Kjoller did not scale through this time, I see it as a learning process. The feedback and exposure I gained have given me clarity on how to strengthen future applications. I remain hopeful and committed to reapplying and exploring new opportunities as I continue on this journey.
I am very impressed by my short contact, which was enough to notice the willingness of the organization's employees to help with the promotion and implementation of our project, despite the possibility of investing in our company.
You guys at Kjoller are doing a great job by creating a platform that gives founders an opportunity to secure a way to better scale their startups. Kudos to you at Kjoller.
My interaction with Kjøller was both professional and supportive. Even though my venture was still at the pre-seed stage, they took the time to provide constructive feedback, share alternative investor options, and recommend useful tools. Their response didn’t feel like a rejection but genuine encouragement to keep moving forward. I truly appreciate their founder-first approach and highly recommend them to entrepreneurs seeking both honest guidance and meaningful engagement.

Understood our Business Concept correctly. Very prompt, detailed & professional response. Clarified their position transparently & suggested external investor options most likely to invest with us. Made few suggestions / advisories in subsequent follow-up communication
I love that the feedback came rather quickly and it was honest and I was amazed that the team went the extra mile and did some research on alternatives to get funding from other sources.
I really appreciate the feedback and the followup. Thank you
Navigating the VC landscape is stressful, complicated and opaque. Not at Kjoller. I found a VC that operates like a customer facing business with a no bullshit approach and very respectful of your time. I saw their ad on LinkedIn, applied immediately. The application process is followed by a series of over 20 questions that makes you realize they are really trying to conduct due diligence in real time. Within 12 hours of my submission, I got a response with more due diligence questions. I responded to those within a day and got a response within hours. Yes it was a rejection but no one wasted my time. What is more, they offered a reason for the rejection and gave me directions to other places that could be a better match for my project. That is a VC with some humility and empathy. That’s great customer service.
If you have compelling revenue from some innovative work, you should start here before others discourage you with attitude.

It was sheer pleasure interacting with Kjoller dashboard for venture funding application. I would like to recommend all the founders of nascent biotechnology enterprises to checkout their services.

I received great advice for pursuing my startup idea and was given excellent resources to prepare me for future fundraising. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
If the entire experience is to be summarised in one word it would be - "efficient". The communication is straightforward and to the point. Information exchange happens well within 24 hours as promised and allows quick decision making. Also willingness to go extra mile is visible and appreciated. Very positive experience overall.
Hello Kjøller team, We recently had the opportunity to engage with the Kjøller team regarding our startup, Wellonge, a African Version of social media platforms tailored, it's operated managed by Haminass Group Limited.

Their supportive yet realistic approach makes them more than investors they are genuine partners committed to seeing entrepreneurs succeed.
We highly recommend Kjøller to any founder seeking a team that understands startups, provides actionable feedback, and supports long-term growth.

It has been a truly wonderful experience connecting with a progressive organization like Kjoller. Although I am a little disappointed that I could not carry forward my mission through you, I will always cherish the brief but meaningful association we shared.

Recently I sen in my application to KJOLLER for my startup- Qalbi Life Tech . While my venture stage did not align with their focus area, I was impressed by the way they engaged with me. They were responsive, thoughtful, and went out of their way to provide a list of alternative investors that could support my fundraising journey. This kind of responsiveness and founder-first approach is rare to come by in the investment world. I deeply value their professionalism, empathy, and commitment to supporting entrepreneurs, even when they are not direct beneficiaries. I would recommend them to any founder.
Even though we were unable to secure funds for our startup, the whole process was very structured and KJOLLER provided us with a very detailed feedback on why they couldn't invest, something I have found others to be lacking in. Also, they provided a lot of resources to look into as well!
Working with the Kjøller team during our fundraising journey has been a very positive experience. Even though we did not move forward with an investment, their feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and shared with great clarity. They provided valuable investor connections, practical resources, and genuine encouragement that helped us sharpen our fundraising approach. I highly recommend engaging with Kjøller if you are a founder looking for transparent and supportive guidance in the investment process.
The 23 questions that followed really opened up my mind on what investors look for in a startup. Very informative and made me look at flexicom from a different angle in terms of being investor ready!
We presented Need Inovation (NI) to Kjøller and, although we are not moving ahead together, I am very grateful for the time and thoughtful guidance shared. They provided clear feedback, useful resources, and even connected us to other relevant investors. Truly professional, supportive, and founder-friendly.
Kjøller’s investment process is professional, transparent, and highly constructive. Although Eco Bristo was not the right fit for their mandate at this stage, the team provided thoughtful, detailed feedback and went further to share a tailored list of relevant investor leads, resources, and practical fundraising tools. This level of support even in a “no” reflects their genuine commitment to helping entrepreneurs succeed, not just transact. Their candid, respectful communication and ecosystem-minded approach make them stand out as an investor who values long-term impact and relationships.
Working with the Kjøller team has been a highly professional and insightful experience. Their structured approach, transparency, and genuine respect for founders truly set them apart.

Sometimes, even when an outcome is not exactly what we hoped for, the process itself brings a unique sense of satisfaction — and that has certainly been my experience here.
We had a wonderful experience engaging with the team at Kjøller during our fundraising journey. Even though we were ultimately outside their current investment scope, the feedback we received was incredibly constructive, thoughtful, and encouraging.
What stood out most was the transparency and the effort they put into guiding us toward more relevant investor avenues, as well as sharing practical tools and resources to strengthen our fundraising approach. Their willingness to provide genuine support, even without a direct investment, reflects the kind of integrity and founder-focused approach that sets them apart.
For early-stage founders like us at Dervesh Luxe, this kind of guidance is invaluable. We are grateful for the time and encouragement given, and we look forward to staying connected with the Kjøller team as we continue to grow.
I got a reply 24 hours after applying and for me that was fast, given the experience I have had in fundraising! And the best part, they pointed me to a turn of resources even if we did not make it to the next stage. They made the process feel very humane! Keep it up, your approach is really impactful.
I love the fact that they were very engaged in learning more about our company and the vision we have. Even though the investment wasn’t possible due to structural hurdles, I still appreciate the engagement.

We own a university in Uganda, Nexus International University. Approaching Kjoller was our first time out. They handled us with utmost professionalism and offered very valuable insights. We sure learned a lot from them.
KJOLLER is an excellent platform not only for startup funding and investment but also for linkage development and business growth. The organization is very professional in terms of the way they respond and guide and facilitate.
The communication in terms of application and next steps was very good . The application process itself was smooth and very focused . The feedback and response to the request was exceptionally fast and detailed . Though we did not secure any funding this time due to absence of MVP , I am very sure that we will revisit and get community action going again once we are ready.
Kjoller's professionalism and expertise are beyond doubt.
They have a perfect understanding of the world of fundraising, with sharp analysis.
They are highly recommended, even if you don't move forward with them, as they will be able to give you essential advice and strategic guidance for the success of your project.
I sincerely appreciate the time you took to review my project and for the thoughtful recommendations you shared. While we are not proceeding with funding at this stage, your feedback has been extremely valuable and will help shape our next steps. Thank you for your support and for sharing your expertise.
This is the most professional investor I have so far encountered. The difference is they are transparent in the process and responding lightning fast. We received valuable guidance without any engagement.
I think Kjøller is a fantastic venture fund. Although we weren’t accepted and the application process was a bit long, you can clearly tell they take great pride in thoroughly reviewing applications and providing concrete feedback on why you didn’t move forward. If they put that much care into rejections, you can imagine the level of support they would provide if they end up backing your startup. That’s exactly why we applied – and why you should too!
Upfront. Evaluation and response as advertised - straight, right between the eyes. I appreciate that. But just because someone said no, does not mean no forever. It is a two way dance. If and when we have revenue, it could be the other way around. Long term partnerships needs many iterations - the discovery. Hopefully, thru this dance routine, we will become more familiar w/ each other and more shared outlook. Check our website. Its pretty cool. Radical but rock solid. Sincerely Paul Cheng

I have worked closely with experienced professionals who have not only been willing to share their knowledge but have also entrusted me with responsibilities and opportunities to contribute actively to projects, as well as lead my own.

You become part of an exceptionally sharp team, where everyone has their own areas of expertise, and you have the opportunity to absorb knowledge and ask as many questions as you like. At Kjøller, you are given important tasks on equal footing with the rest of the team, and your input is taken seriously.

So if you’re eager to step out of your comfort zone in a new environment and work with investments in a Danish team, taking on serious tasks and gaining an incredible amount of knowledge, then you should definitely apply for an internship at Kjøller.
My company and I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Magnus Kjøller since 2010. The collaboration has encompassed all aspects of advisory services related to commercial and investment properties, with a particular focus on the residential investment market.
We have assisted Magnus Kjøller with everything from leasing office spaces to buying and selling large property portfolios in Aalborg, with a total value exceeding DKK 500 million.
The collaboration has always been conducted in the best possible manner, and Magnus Kjøller and the rest of his team are always highly professional and competent in their approach to the market.
We can only give Magnus Kjøller and his team our highest recommendations, and we greatly value our trusted collaboration.
Kjøller has been instrumental in organising a startup, which over time has turned into a legitimate business.
I have had the honour of being a portfolio company under Kjøller, which means you are not only accountable to yourself but also to a team of people on the other side. It has been incredibly reassuring to have the backing of an investment firm that genuinely cares about its investments.
There have been periods when we needed liquid funds – in these situations, Kjøller has been agile and provided immediate assistance, saving the company with liquidity. Without their help, the company would not be as strong as it is today.
Additionally, I would like to comment on the team working at Kjøller, with whom I have personal contact. They are extremely sharp, step in where crises arise, and follow through on their promises. I have yet to experience a situation where I did not receive the professional assistance I needed.
A big thank you to Kjøller for the opportunity and for elevating our company to a new level.

I am deeply grateful for the time I spent at Kjøller, and I am confident that future interns will benefit from the same enriching experience.

I have learned an incredible amount from my colleagues at Kjøller – everything from their personalities, backgrounds, and ways of working to how they interact with stakeholders. Alongside the professional experience, I have also gained insight into how to build a strong and effective team. All in all, my internship at Kjøller was a fantastic experience, and I am grateful for everything I learned and experienced during my time in Dubai.

In the internship with Kjøller, I gained invaluable insight behind the scenes and the many aspects of the investment industry, which I could later use in connection with my studies at Copenhagen Business School. As an intern at Kjøller, I felt involved on an equal footing with the company's other employees, which was an enormously great experience.
If you want to have a unique experience abroad and at the same time get a "behind the scenes" experience of the investment market, then I can strongly recommend an internship at Kjøller.
