Lifeline Ventures is a sector-agnostic early-stage (pre-seed and seed) investor that partners with founders from the very beginning of their journey and supports them throughout their growth. Their goal is to be the first person the entrepreneur reaches out to in times of trouble and joy, investing in ambitious and determined teams that can one day become industry leaders. The team has global experience in building and scaling companies both as founders and in various CxO roles. With Fund VI (€400M), the firm aims to support founders from their very first steps all the way to global scale — continuing a track record that includes early backing of Supercell, Wolt, Oura, ICEYE, and Aiven.
Notable quotes
“From Oura to Wolt to Supercell, Europe has proven it can build companies that matter globally. What's changing now is that, together with our Limited Partners, we can support founders from their very first steps all the way to global scale.”
“Finland will produce 15 unicorn companies in the next 5–6 years, Europe will produce more than 1,000 — and we strive to partner with these startups at pre-seed & seed, as we have done with Wolt, ŌURA, Supercell, Aiven, Applifier, ICEYE, Smartly and 150+ other technology startups over the past 15 years.”
“Entrepreneurship is a skill. It takes discipline and practice. Each company we build improves our hit rate going forward.”
