Who We Are
We offer a combination of services to constitute your most beneficial financing mix
About us
FFUND was founded by a group of experienced entrepreneurs with a common vision to accelerate the translation of breakthrough innovations into real-world impact.
Our goal is to convert years of business and product development experience into an end-to-end solution for our customers. We focus on successfully securing the financing mix, including European non-dilutive funding, equity financing, and deals.
Currently we served over 280 start-ups, SMEs, and Universities in the EU with a range of consulting services primarily focused on strategic funding and M&A activities. We are on the journey to build an EU-wide network to foster leading innovations in 6 domains: Life Sciences, industrial biotech, health, agriculture, food, sustainability based innovations
Our vision
Our vision is to support ventures in successfully securing an optimal blend of financing to bring their product to the market and build a healthy company. We do so by providing hands-on financial, business, and fundraising support with our team of serial entrepreneurs and expert consultants. This enables the company or project management team to save time and bring knowledge onboard to maximize the chances of funding, while maintaining focus on the core business activity of developing innovative products for the healthcare system.
In our vision paper, we elaborate on our dedicated solutions and hands-on services to raise and manage funding from external parties and to secure strong license and exit deals.
Areas of Expertise
Our story
"Every innovation-driven sector is unique, where niche sector expertise is critical for providing effective consulting support."
Dr. Judith J. Smit (CEO) and Dr. Henk Viëtor (Partner)
Innovation is accelerating across life sciences, healthcare, biotechnology, food systems and sustainable industries. Every year, new technologies emerge with the potential to address major societal and industrial challenges. Bringing these innovations from research to market requires navigating scientific, regulatory, technical and financial complexities.
At FFUND, we bring over 60 years of combined entrepreneurial experience in the segment to help our clients accelerate their R&D roadmap, with the ambition to enable more technologies to reach the market. We support them as a true “impact partner” with a solid know-how of the sector dynamics, financing opportunities, technical expertise and a network of stakeholders.
We are convinced that a balanced financing mix (non-dilutive, loans and equity) is crucial for a successful life sciences company. FFUND is the partner to unburden our clients with this complex task and secure a successful financing strategy. We are an end-to-end partner, covering our client’s financing need from start-up to commercialization or exit.
