Focus areas
Broad focus, one criterion: impact.
Our focus is innovation. The impact of an idea decides an investment, not the industry or the location.
Sustainable materials
Renewable materials and cleaner processes that reduce the footprint of how things are made.
Diagnostics
Faster, more precise tests that help people get the right answers sooner.
Digital health
Data-driven tools that help clinicians make better decisions for each patient.
Deep tech
Engineering breakthroughs born in research labs, ready to move from prototype to product.
Water & food security
Practical solutions to some of the most basic shortages the world faces.
Approach
Investing in a better future.
Climate change, inequality, incurable diseases, food and water security, lack of education. The real game-changers of the future are the innovators, and we back them from the start.
Active ownership
Beyond seed capital we offer an investment package with knowledge in intellectual property, corporate strategy and business development, plus a large network for follow-up funding.
Life changers
We aim to be a long-term partner and never plan our exits. If there is still a role for us to play, we continue the journey, looking beyond the numbers to what can change people’s lives.
Realising ideas
We are a diverse company that lets the impact of an idea decide an investment. Industry and location come second.
