Teams admitted into the Incubate program at SSE Business Lab are offered an investment from SSE Ventures, the early-stage venture capital fund at the Stockholm School of Economics. The offer300.000 SEK (as a convertible note or as a direct investment in an open round with at least 50% of the round committed). Potential follow-on investments in future rounds up to Series A/B (subject to approval from the Investment Committee). Connections to the network of investors invested in the fund, for additional investments in future rounds. The valuation should be decided by other investors in an equity round, and the convertible has a cap of 50 MSEK. SSE Ventures will not be determining a valuation of your company at any point. This offer is optional upon admission to Incubate and subject to change made by the management team. Why SSE Ventures? SSE Ventures’ investment offer is available exclusively to companies admitted into the Incubate program. It was developed specifically as a value-add to the support already offered in the program, with the interests of the startups front and center. As such, we have a fund with no end-date, meaning we have the possibility to be long-term owners, and aim to continue being a shareholder in our portfolio companies long after they have left the Incubate program, while also being able to offer follow-on investments. We call it patient capital. We’ve also chosen the investors in the fund with care, opting for investors who are looking to co-invest with us directly in our portfolio companies in future rounds, opening up an excellent angel and VC network for our portfolio. SSE Ventures does not make any investments outside of the SSE Business Lab Incubate program, or write checks other than the 300.000 SEK offered in the program.

We are Nevada’s statewide startup accelerator & incubator. We enable entrepreneurs to develop and scale ideas from MVP to revenue-producing businesses, invest our own capital, then connect founders to additional growth capital. Get Help Funding Your Startup You have an amazing idea, and you’ve researched it and are positive there’s a market out there that’s waiting for this product or service. The only trouble is that you have no funding to get from Point A to Point B. You may not even know how to begin looking for investment sources. That’s okay because our accelerator makes an initial investment, then gives you the sales, marketing, development, and other tools to position yourself with early stage investors to raise additional capital. As you progress, we connect you with our network of angel investors and other capital sources. Become A Nevada Investor An idea paired with the right investor and mentor can become the next big industry disruptor. You’ve heard the stories, but you’ve never had the chance to do it yourself. You can change that by learning what it takes to successfully invest in business startups. Angel investing is riskier than other types of investments, but done properly, the rewards of making a great return while impacting our community makes it worthwhile. StartUpNV’s mission is to educate individuals on what it takes to be a good angel investor and make smart, successful investments. We’re establishing the angel investing ecosystem in Nevada, and you can be part of this bigger movement. Be The Good In The World. Ready To Invest While Making A Difference?

Demium was born in Valencia in 2013 with the spirit of a startup, since then we have been growing and increasing our presence in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga; and crossing our borders to Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic. Since 2020 Demium Capital is investing in our best startups. We launched our first €50M investment fund, with which we have exceeded our expectations, becoming the most active Venture Capital in Southern Europe in terms of the number of investments. We have the spirit of the incubator that was born 9 years ago in Valencia together with the stability that our new positioning as venture capital gives us.
