About This Fund
Unconventional Ventures Fund II is a €80 million impact-focused venture capital fund investing at the pre-seed and seed stages. It centers on inclusive capital allocation to diverse founding teams—particularly women, people of color, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ individuals—across Europe. With a €50 million first close completed in November 2025, the fund positions itself at the forefront of a performance-driven, diversity-led investment thesis. The fund prioritizes startups building scalable, tech-enabled solutions that address global challenges. It looks for founders combining purpose with ambition—often underrepresented in traditional venture networks—and aims to provide catalytic capital to help them unlock early momentum. The firm believes investing in diverse teams not only addresses systemic funding inequities but generates superior outcomes due to untapped market potential. Fund II will focus on sectors that align with impact and sustainability: climate tech, health tech, inclusive fintech, and future-of-learning solutions. Portfolio companies are expected to deliver not just strong financial returns but measurable social or environmental outcomes. The fund applies an intersectional lens to impact, investing at the overlap of innovation, equity, and responsibility. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Unconventional Ventures leverages a pan-European network of co-investors, operators, and advisors. It provides founders with capital, visibility, and long-term partnership. Fund II is a continuation and expansion of the firm’s first fund, which backed 20+ startups and demonstrated that inclusive VC can outperform conventional patterns.
