I Love Lund

What they do

I Love Lund operates on a unique "local patriotism" model, pooling capital from over 600 local shareholders to invest in high-potential companies within the Lund ecosystem. Positioned as a bridge between retail investors and the often inaccessible unlisted startup market, the firm combines capital with a strong network of "ambassadors" who provide mentorship and business connections. They are listed on the Spotlight Stock Market, providing liquidity to their investors while maintaining a long-term, evergreen approach to their portfolio companies.

What they look for

The firm's thesis is strictly geographic and innovation-centric. They invest exclusively in companies with a strong connection to Lund (e.g., founded in Lund, based in Lund, or spun out of Lund University). They believe the "Lund ecosystem" is a world-class innovation hub that is undercapitalized, and that local ownership drives better long-term outcomes.
