Uminova Invest specializes in seed capital investing. The firm invests exclusively in high-growth projects and businesses with a clear connection to Umeå University or other academic entities and research institutes in the province of Västerbotten, where Umeå is located. Uminova Invest targets science-based projects with unique selling points and significant market potential, in sectors such as biotechnology, IT and medical technology. The firm acquires minority stakes and typically co-invests with their shareholding institutions. In addition to capital they actively contribute business know-how, management support, marketing expertise and access to their network of contacts. They invest primarily in early-stage companies, and may invest during the growth phase as well. Although they aim to exit their investments after three years once their portfolio companies have an established market, Uminova Invest may retain their stake over the longer term. Their preferred exit strategy is through resale, either to the founder or to existing shareholders.
