Investment thesis
Vesna invests in breakthrough deep technologies emerging from public or private R&D institutions in Slovenia and Croatia, targeting companies at technology readiness level 3 or higher. It accesses cutting-edge research through partnerships with academic institutions and helps commercialize it into scalable startups using hands-on startup expertise and full investment lifecycle support. The fund focuses on three ESG-aligned sectors: Climate & Environment Tech, Advanced Materials & Enabling Tech, and Artificial Intelligence & ICT. Portfolio companies must originate from (or hold IP transfer agreements with) Slovenian or Croatian institutions and maintain their main operations there. Vesna offers small commercialization tickets alongside larger seed and early-stage investments, often with co-investors and follow-on rounds.
