Final Frontier
Copenhagen-based Nordic space and defense venture capital fund founded in 2024 by Niels Vejrup Carlsen, backed by Anders Fogh Rasmussen (former Danish PM and NATO Secretary-General); participated in Farsight Vision's €7.2M seed round.
Copenhagen-based Nordic venture fund launched October 2024 by Founding Partner Niels Vejrup Carlsen (previously 17 years at SEED Capital), backing founders across satellite systems, propulsion, drones, cybersecurity, and autonomous platforms in support of European strategic autonomy in space and defence. Its first fund ("Liftoff") closed at €4.5M in 2025; a larger fund targeting up to €150M is being raised for 2026 but has not yet closed. Former NATO Secretary-General and Danish PM Anders Fogh Rasmussen is a personal financial backer of the firm — in his own words, "stepping in and supporting Final Frontier personally as an investor" — not a partner, advisor, or board member.
