Our Philosophy
Run by entrepreneurs
Our partners and investors are entrepreneurs first who want to support our nanotechnology companies at every stage of their journey. Working this way since 2015, we’ve helped to build and develop strategy, pricing, manufacturing scale-up, research, sales and marketing, media coverage, IP, distribution, licensing and regulatory oversight where relevant.
Accelerating ventures
The nanotech ventures we support have direct access to our network and ecosystem, which includes technology transfer, talent acquisition, talent development, wider industry or academic communities, finance, accounting, business planning, strategy, legal, property, regulatory, digital, media coverage, marketing and sales.
Creating the right environment for growth
Our Nano Ventures can collaborate by exchanging best practices, fostering both innovation and collaboration, while maintaining respect for intellectual property and managing potential conflicts of interest. All through the Invest in Nano programme, nanotech innovators have the opportunity to share knowledge, connections, and expertise.
Supporting the best teams and technology
We assist and nurture innovative firms with groundbreaking nanotechnology solutions by connecting them with the appropriate Nanoscale Ventures, ensuring they receive the necessary support to thrive and expand into commercial international markets.
Patient in Investments
We will continue to invest with our partners where founders and there teams demonstrate they have a strategy and roadmap for commercial success.
Opening up networks and markets
With nanoscience delivering the foundations for extraordinary commercial success for the future, Invest in Nano prides itself on connecting nanotech ventures with our international network and ecosystem to open new sales and development opportunities and accelerate venture growth for nanoscale companies and investors.
With over 70,000 subscribers and partners through our partnership with The World Nano Foundation, Invest in Nano can influence over 250,000 people within Nanotechnology's investment and global commercialisation sectors.
Nano innovation and investment partners
We work with individuals, startups, international conglomerates and investor groups, providing them with tools and business intelligence to innovate and invest, helping mould a community of more agile, adaptive and better-positioned nanoscale companies to out-manoeuvre the markets on return on investment in capital.
Investing in the future of nanoscience
Facilitating direct investment from single investors into companies, Invest in Nano calculates Investment amounts to provide the capital required for the company to reach a significant commercial inflexion point in its development, supporting companies where the investment risk is far outweighed by the rewards if successful.
Our Partners
The Invest in Nano programme brings more than an investment strategy to secure ongoing finance. Our partners, Nano Media Group and The World Nano Foundation bring together global partners, investors, resources, networks, and experience to help entrepreneurs take their ideas from conception to scale, maturity, or exit.
This shared ecosystem improves the speed and likelihood of success. It differs from the classic VC model, where investors distribute capital among ideas and teams, hoping one in five or ten might make it big.
