Lifeline Ventures

Activity from announced rounds

Activity in this selectionHardware

Lifeline Ventures is a sector-agnostic pre-seed and seed investor, working with founding teams from the beginning of company formation.

Its team brings experience as founders and senior executives who have built and scaled companies internationally. It can engage before a company fits an established industry category, with the early stage of development as the common investment focus.

The breadth is visible in early backing of radar-satellite company ICEYE, wearable technology company Oura and game developer Supercell. Those examples show the range of technical and commercial models the partnership can accommodate.
