Frequently asked questions
What ecosystem does I Love Lund primarily invest in?
The firm concentrates almost exclusively on companies connected to Lund University and the Ideon Science Park in southern Sweden. This produces a highly localized deal flow anchored in academic and research-driven startups. Most portfolio companies are based in the Öresund region.
What is the firm's investment stage focus?
I Love Lund targets companies from seed through growth and expansion stages. The strategy is not limited to a single early-stage check size, allowing the firm to follow on as ventures mature. Public documents indicate involvement at both the startup and late-stage venture phases.
How does I Love Lund source its proprietary deal flow?
The firm's physical proximity to Lund University, Ideon Science Park, and Medicon Village provides a natural early look at spin-outs before they reach broader Nordic or European venture markets. Deal flow relies on relationships with academic founders and technology transfer officers rather than a competitive auction process.
