Nordic Science Investments
Finland-based VC firm investing pre-seed to follow-on in deeptech, healthtech and life sciences startups and university spinouts across the New Nordics.
Nordic Science Investments is a Finland-based venture capital firm that invests in early-stage, science-driven startups and university spinouts across the New Nordics. Its investment focus spans deeptech, healthtech and life sciences, with an emphasis on ventures originating in scientific research.
The firm's primary stage is pre-seed, where it backs teams moving research towards the market and preparing for further investment. It also invests at seed and in selected later rounds, working alongside co-investors as portfolio companies grow. Beyond capital, the firm provides strategic guidance, support with team building, and access to a global expert network.
Its origination model is built around partnerships with universities. Nordic Science Investments evaluates innovations sourced through university innovation offices, supports commercialisation projects with business development and team building, and helps create spinouts from the resulting research. This places the firm at the point where academic work is assessed for commercial potential - a stage at which the underlying science, the founding team and the route to market are all still being formed.
The firm describes its approach as a founder-friendly partnership, bridging academia and business. Sectors of interest include deeptech, healthtech, life sciences, science-based startups and university spinouts.
