About

Unconventional Ventures (UV) is a Nordic early-stage investment firm founded in Denmark in 2018. The firm focuses on unlocking the potential of diverse founding teams building scalable impact tech companies. UV invests in startups at the pre-seed and seed stages, led by founders identifying as women, people of color, immigrants, and/or LGBTQ+, who are developing solutions in sectors such as climate tech, health tech, edtech, and inclusive fintech.

The firm is committed to addressing the funding and power gap between early-stage investors and diverse founders, aiming to create a more inclusive and equitable startup ecosystem. UV's investment strategy emphasizes the convergence of impact and diversity, believing that underrepresented founders are best positioned to comprehend and address the world's most formidable challenges. The firm has attracted a diverse pool of investors and advisors, including institutional investors, international VC funds, and progressive family offices, all supporting UV's mission to back diverse founding teams and companies with a positive environmental and social impact.
