How can I invest in interesting
companies and startups?
Many companies join our programs seeking investors. At UIC, we assist through events like Uppsala Innovation Day and Linnéa Capital. UIC takes no ownership in companies, remaining an independent partner. We collaborate closely with Uppsala's Innovation System to support each other.
Invest in UIC companies through Linnea Capital
Saminvest and selected business angels invest in Linnéa Capital and companies admitted to the UIC Accelerator, offering up to SEK 600,000 initially. Business angels can make further investments with Saminvest. Linnéa Capital targets new and experienced angels aiming to develop competitive companies, strengthen Sweden’s incubator financial system, and provide access to new companies.
