Novo Seeds' focus

The pre-seed program is aimed at providing support for commercially interesting projects, typically originating from academic research institutions in Scandinavia, which are too early for seed investments. The pre-seed grants can be used for additional proof-of-principle studies, supportive investigations, and freedom to operate analysis or other activities which are required to prepare the project for a seed financing round.

The seed program focuses on Scandinavian life science companies. Our primary focus is projects for diagnosis, control, treatment, and prevention of disease. Novo Seeds aims to play a leading role in the financing, but welcomes syndication with other investors in its portfolio companies. In addition to financial support, Novo Seeds provides organisational, strategic and other assistance, typically anchored in one or more board seats in the portfolio companies.
