Frequently asked questions
How does Megatrend Invest structure its investments?
The firm creates a separate investment company for each company it backs. Investors participate at the individual deal level rather than committing to a pooled fund. This single-deal vehicle model lets Danish private investors select specific exposures across sustainability themes.
Is Megatrend Invest regulated in Denmark?
Yes. Megatrend Invest is registered with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority as a manager of alternative investment funds, listed under FT-nr. 23.210. The registration places it under the Danish FAIF law and the PRIIP regulation for packaged retail investment products.
Which investment stages does Megatrend Invest typically target?
The firm sources seed-stage, startup, and expansion or growth-stage companies. Its website shows concluded investments across early and late-stage rounds, with current open cases spanning both pre-revenue and scaling businesses.
What is Megatrend Invest's geographic and thematic focus?
Deployment concentrates on Danish-headquartered companies that align with nine megatrends: health and food, biotechnology and medicine, AI and virtualization, IT technology, Industry 4.0, digital communication, big data, sustainability, and urbanization. Confirmed portfolio companies operate in markets including oral drug delivery, solar water purification, and alternative proteins.
Does Megatrend Invest participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm's model is exclusively direct. It sources individual companies and forms a single-purpose investment vehicle for each, without committing to third-party funds or making secondary purchases.
