Founded in 2003, Icon Ventures has been at the forefront of venture investing for over two decades, partnering with founders to build category-defining businesses. Our mission has always been to set the highest standards in venture capital, and this is now being applied as a focused commitment to building foundational AI companies. Throughout our history, one thing has remained constant: our belief that the best results come from experienced partners engaging directly with the most talented and gifted founders. Our evolution to Foundational VC for AI is not a response to market trends - it is the natural progression of our long history of leading-edge technology investing. From cybersecurity to digital health, we have consistently aligned with founders who tackle fundamental technical challenges. Today, we are applying these same principles to AI, where our experience in building lasting companies matters more than ever. The principles that helped us identify and scale category leaders like Palo Alto Networks, Bill.com and Teladoc remain critical in the AI era. Just as these companies transformed their industries through technological innovation and exceptional execution, today’s AI founders are reshaping the entire landscape. Our expertise in helping founders build enduring businesses - from initial product-market fit to market leadership - has never been more relevant. At Icon, our values define our approach: venture capital as a service is built on authentic partnerships, where our success is inseparable from our founders’ achievements. We foster deep relationships, ensure alignment between all stakeholders, and maintain unwavering ethical standards. These principles have guided us for over two decades and remain just as vital as we partner with the next generation of entrepreneurs. Venture Capital as a Force for Good As AI reshapes every industry, venture capital investors have a profound responsibility to guide innovation toward worthy outcomes. We believe Foundational VC for AI means more than building financial success - it means ensuring this transformative technology serves humanity’s best interests. Through our responsible investment practices, our partnerships with ethical founders, and our commitment to expanding opportunity, we are dedicated to making venture capital a force for good.

Navigare Ventures is an early-stage investor specialized in science-driven companies. Through our investments, we strengthen the industrial and societal impact of research, as well as the long-term financial capacity of our owners, Wallenberg Investments AB. Our core investment themes within deep tech are underpinned by our knowledge and network in a number of scientific fields and industries. These include advanced computing and quantum technologies, synthetic biology and bio innovation, advanced materials and nano technology as well as data-driven life science. We are long term investors - Seed and Series A and beyond - and form deep and lasting partnerships with founders and entrepreneurs. Our extensive industrial and scientific networks gives us the opportunity to provide capital, network, and know-how to transform promising science start-ups into successful companies. Who we are Navigare Ventures, based in Stockholm, is a fully owned subsidiary of Wallenberg Investments AB. We are a team of scientists, industrialists and entrepreneurs who understand the challenges of turning cutting-edge technologies to successful ventures. As part of the Wallenberg ecosystem, our returns fuel the next generation of scientific advancement through research funding from the Wallenberg Foundations to Swedish universities. What we are looking for We partner with experienced entrepreneurial teams that combine scientific excellence with strong business acumen. In this respect, your company should have a unique offering based on a profound understanding of your scientific or technological field and its market and industrial environment. You should also be capable of demonstrating the viability and commercial potential of your product by engaging with real customers. You are raising capital to scale the R&D, production, marketing, and sales capabilities of your company. Our investment philosophy We only invest in companies we understand. While this is an important general principle in any investment activity, it is even more important when making early-stage investments in new technology. If we don’t understand your science, we won’t understand what experts tell us about the value chain and how it works, or what the competitive landscape looks like. And most importantly, we won’t be able to help you develop your strategy and navigate through the challenges of deep-tech start-ups. So, when preparing a meeting with us, don’t put too much emphasis on future revenue projections. That’s important too, in due time. But first, be prepared for long sessions in front of a whiteboard, explaining to us how your material, algorithm, or antibody functions. We don’t need to understand all the equations, but we need to get the heuristics. We are scientists at heart, eager to learn, and we carry a deep conviction that the world is fundamentally understandable.
