Our Approach
Sustainable Technologies Fund is a
private equity growth fund. We seek investment opportunities in
companies with sustainable technologies, also referred to as Clean
Technologies or “Cleantech”.
We believe that the transformation
from un-sustainable to sustainable energy systems, material choices, and
chemicals offers tremendous investment opportunities in many market
sectors. This transformation is carried forward by several strong macro
drivers such as high and volatile energy prices, resource security and
scarcity, and governmental efforts to fight global climate change.
Investment Thesis
We invest primarily in Nordic cleantech
companies seeking international networks for global expansion,
technological development expertise and operational skill sets.
Investment Stage
Our preferred investment focus is on
series A, B and C rounds. We are also open to investing in more
established businesses that would like to partner with us to accelerate
their growth.
Investment Size
Our typical initial investment size is
€1 to €3 million. We seek to invest €4 to €6 million per company over
the life of an investment. We prefer to take minority positions and an
active board seat, supporting the management team with the resources and
skills that are required to succeed.
Investment Process
Through proactive searches for companies
and a visible profile in relevant networks, we constantly look for and
evaluate investible opportunities. We like to spend the time to gain an
understanding of what a company has to offer from a ‘cleantech’
perspective - what are the benefits to society and nature - as well as
the traditional potential economic benefits.
We then engage in a
thorough due diligence process that involves a rigorous sustainability,
market, financial, and legal analysis prior to the ultimate investment
decision.
