Our process: from lab to market

We use our long experience to create conditions required for a growth company to start up correctly and with the right structural capital.

We are then involved in the startup through competence and capital until exit.

Simply put: we take groundbreaking research from lab to market.

1. IDENTIFY

We attract, seek out and evaluate research and technology ideas. The technologies with the greatest potential are matched with entrepreneurs.

2. SHAPE AND START

Create the basic conditions to shape companies correctly and build structural capital. We are involved in starting up the companies and provides additional benefits during that first critical period.

3. VALIDATE & VERIFY

Validating business model, working for paying customers and unlocking the business model. Find the right proof points to validate and verify the company’s unique idea to both the market and investors.

4. SCALE

Becoming sustainable growth companies reaching out to an international market. Chalmers Ventures works with its skills as active owners, provides professional governance and syndicates the right growth capital.

EXIT

Chalmers Ventures pursues a positive exit strategy at what it feels is the right time. We can focus our resources on those companies with the greatest potential and positive impact on the portfolio.

The companies that Chalmers Venturs invests in are very interesting. Not to say super interesting. It is deep tech and they want to be at the forefront.

Companies started at Chalmers, in the long run, solve very large problems. Often within construction technology, water supply, infrastucture.

Inspiring to come here and see all the dedicated, talented, quick-thinking people who are trying to do something different from what’s been done before.

I believe we are seeing more and more companies within climate tech, and many of those come from Chalmers Ventures, who are producing incredibly good companies.

If there is anywhere you will get cross-fertilization it is at venues where different disciplines meet up. Chalmers Ventures and Chalmers are brilliant examples of that.
