Maki.vc is a leading European early-stage venture capital firm that partners with deep tech and brand-driven companies challenging category norms. We have worked as part of the Maki.vc team since their launch in spring 2018 – and done some pretty neat things together.
Ever since Maki.vc’s launch we've worked on their design, communications, marketing and web development in close collaboration with their team. Our systematic cooperation is based on a carefully crafted brand strategy, yet leaving space for ad hoc ideas and odd curve balls too. During the past four years, Maki.vc’s brand has grown into one of the leading VCs of its kind – first in the Nordics, recently also more widely in Europe.
Maki.vc’s brand identity brings a fresh breeze into the usually-so-exclusive VC scene. The founders-first approach, pastel colors, magazine-like imagery, and encouraging tone of voice invite a diverse audience to follow and join Maki. Their identity rings true to what the company stands for: always being on the founder’s side, looking beyond conventions, and funding visions that challenge category norms.
We have done dozens of projects and nailed numerous ad hoc ideas during the years. Be it writing content, running brand workshops for their portfolio companies, or launching a new podcast series, we’re down. Yet, our eyes have primarily been on earned media: to strengthen Maki.vc’s thought leadership in deep tech and brand-driven growth.
