Investment sectors

Early-stage start-up companies look for more than just financial support from their investors. Thus, we aim to add value to our investments by contributing our expertise towards the companies’ technological and/or commercial development.  Sarsia Seed is primarily looking for companies with an attachment to Norway but may also invest in European based companies if the fit is good.
