Nicoya

Nicoya is a Stockholm-based investor focused on future foods and food-system innovation, with Nordic roots and a stated global outlook. The firm backs entrepreneurs working on how food is produced and consumed, addressing what it identifies as health challenges, climate stress and fragile supply chains.

Technical interest areas include food production technologies, food ingredients and food manufacturing infrastructure, with an emphasis on scalable, cost-efficient food production. Sector coverage spans food and beverage, future foods, food production technology, food ingredients, food manufacturing infrastructure and consumer packaged goods - a mix that places the firm across both consumer-facing and industrial parts of the food value chain.

Geographic presence is anchored in Stockholm and the Nordic region, with an international orientation. Founding year, team size and check size are not disclosed.
