Voima Ventures

Voima Ventures is a Nordic deep tech fund with strong UK presence operating from London, backing science-based startups originating from rigorous academic labs across the Nordics and the UK. The firm invests in deep tech, biotech, and life sciences tools where the underlying technology is difficult to replicate and rooted in genuine scientific advance. Voima positions itself as an early science partner, often coming in around the spinout moment when the company is leaving the lab and needs both capital and operating help to commercialize.

The fund participates at Seed and Series A, with checks in the $1M to $5M range, frequently leading or co-leading rounds with other deep tech specialists. Geographic focus spans the Nordics, the UK, and select Baltic and Northern European geographies, with a clear preference for university spinouts and IP-heavy formations.

Founders should expect substantive technical diligence, often involving external scientific reviewers, and a willingness to engage early on IP strategy and founding-team composition. Voima values founders who treat the fund as an operating partner rather than a passive check, so come prepared with a clear ask around hiring, scientific advisory, and downstream syndication.
