Kjøller Reviews 16

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. Our aim is 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 a promise.

I didn't get the funding, but I wanted to write this review anyhow, 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!

Kjøller passed on my pre-revenue startup due to stage fit – but the process was exemplary. Sam Morgan was transparent, respectful, and even provided a curated list of other investors and a free KPI tool. Rare to find such honesty and generosity in venture capital. Recommended for revenue-stage founders seeking a thoughtful partner.

They gave valuable informations about other investment opportunities even if they refused my project. They suggested other alternatives.
Thank you for the important feedback.

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.

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.

5 Stars

I had a very positive experience with Kjøller. Although my business was not the right fit for their investment criteria at this stage, the way they handled the process was extremely professional, respectful, and helpful.

A special thank you to Sam Morgan, who took the time to review my application properly and provide clear, constructive feedback. What stood out most was that he did not simply say no and move on. Instead, he offered alternative options, useful investor recommendations, and practical advice that could genuinely help me going forward.

Sam was professional at all times, encouraging, and very helpful throughout the process. It is rare to receive this level of care and guidance, even when the outcome is not what you hoped for.

I would highly recommend Kjøller for their professionalism, honesty, and the way they treat founders with respect.

It was an excellent experience.
They take their time to give a response as to why they invest or do not invest in the startup they reviewed.

Great follow up and fast response. Never seen an investor being accessible at this level

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 clear perspective on what is required to move from concept to scalable execution.

Their approach reflects a strong combination of rigor and openness, which is not always easy to find.

We truly appreciate the time and attention they dedicated to our case, and we look forward to reconnecting as we progress with our first pilot projects.

This company is a great place to get investment, support, and guidance to scale your business. They are Simple and will never let you down once you have the enthusiasm and have done the necessary things to grow your business.

I made the right decision contacting them, and I have not regretted it. Please reach out to them, and you will be amazed by their professionalism and support.

They exceeded my expectations by taking the time to thoroughly read, analyse, and provide insightful feedback that added immense value to the project. First time I come across a VC with a heart!

EXCELLENT SERVICE.

I have an ongoing conversation with Sam Morgan at Kjøller about messmass as an early investment opportunity. It is rare to meet a venture company that makes the real effort to deep dive not only the startup background but the related industry as well. I cannot rate less than 5 our relationship so far!

"Working with Sam Morgan and the Kjøller group was a highlight of our recent fundraising round. It is rare to find an investment firm that balances technical rigor with such a straightforward, 'pragmatic and honest' communication style. Although we (vmr buildcon) didn't close this specific round due to a mismatch in ticket size(100k-200k USD), the quality of their assessment system speaks volumes about their expertise. They are a disciplined, insightful, and highly respectful team. We look forward to finding a way to collaborate in the future!"

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.

I had a very positive experience engaging with Kjøller during the pre-screening process for my AgriTech venture, Smart Kisan.

Even though our company is still at a pre-revenue stage and therefore not aligned with Kjøller’s current investment criteria, the feedback I received was thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely constructive. Instead of a generic rejection, Sam Morgan took the time to carefully review our business model, highlight our strengths, and clearly explain the stage requirements for investment.

What stood out most was the quality of engagement. The feedback reflected a real understanding of our warehousing, advisory, and financing ecosystem approach. It was encouraging to see that the strategic thinking behind Smart Kisan was properly evaluated.
In addition, Kjøller shared a curated list of relevant early-stage investors and accelerators, along with practical advice on KPIs and fundraising strategy. That level of support even when passing on an investment speaks highly of their professionalism and founder-friendly approach.

For any entrepreneur considering reaching out to Kjøller, I would strongly recommend them. Their process is transparent, respectful, and genuinely helpful. I look forward to reconnecting with them once we achieve meaningful revenue and traction.
