01 · Biggest holdings

Northzone’s biggest current holdings.

Estimated value = Northzone’s disclosed ownership % × Dealroom’s latest company valuation; direct named stakes only, exited positions excluded. Figures are indicative, not reported marks. Northzone also appears inside investor groups in Black Forest Labs, Zopa, where a standalone stake isn’t disclosed. See the underlying cap tables on Dealroom →

02 · Exits

Northzone’s biggest exits.

Portfolio companies that IPO’d or were acquired at $1B+, with the valuation recorded at exit and — for those still public — their value today. Exit events come from each company’s funding-round history; entry stage from Northzone’s transaction record.
