The Danish platform Ønskeskyen has taken a significant step toward international expansion. The English private equity firm Capital D has invested and acquired one-third of the Danish company. This investment is set to help Ønskeskyen accelerate its growth outside Denmark, where the platform already dominates as the market leader.

Casper Ravn-Sørensen, Co-founder and CEO of Ønskeskyen, expresses great excitement:

“They will help us speed up our international expansion—both in terms of gaining more users and forming new partnerships. Capital D is fully aligned with the strategy we’ve developed as a company, and that alignment made this partnership a perfect match for us. We’ve accomplished so much over the years, and we HAVE succeeded! Now, with the resources and international network we have, we can do so much more of what we already do well.”

Capital D, known for investing in high-growth companies with global potential, sees tremendous opportunity in Ønskeskyen. The platform already boasts more than half of Denmark’s population as users, and globally, it now has nearly 10 million registered users under its international name, GoWish.


From PostNord to unicorn dreams

Ønskeskyen’s journey began just over four years ago when the company was acquired from PostNord. Since then, the platform has grown explosively, establishing a solid position in Denmark, where one in two adults has downloaded the app.

Now, the ambition is to take the next step and become Denmark’s next unicorn with a valuation of $1 billion. Casper Ravn-Sørensen and Mads Dahlerup, both major shareholders, see the partnership with Capital D as the key to achieving this vision.

A global potential

Ønskeskyen, which helps users share and fulfill wish lists, has already proven its strength in the Danish market, and the aim is to replicate this success globally. Casper Ravn-Sørensen concludes:
“We have the resources and the network to scale our business model and capture even larger market shares outside Denmark. This is just the beginning.”

With Capital D’s investment and expertise in driving exponential growth, Ønskeskyen is well-positioned to realize its ambitions for global success.
