Besides providing funding, we can also help you in shaping and optimising your investment proposal by sharing experience and providing expertise in all phases and areas of structuring, raising and managing a fund.We aim at investing in :

• Independent management teams that raise funds from a wide range of investors in order to provide risk capital to growing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). See EU definition for SME.
• Funds targeting early stage companies that are developing or using advanced technologies in industry or services.

In order to facilitate the screening of any investment opportunity, please submit a comprehensive concept paper and/or draft Private Placement Memorandum to dealflow.inv@eif.org specifying the following details:

• management team
• investment strategy
• track record
• target market
• deal flow
• geographical scope
• target sectors
• fund size
• legal structure
• proposed terms
• expected returns
• other investors
• timing of fund raising

Should the investment opportunity meet our criteria, your team will be invited to present the investment proposal at our headquarters in Luxembourg. You do not need to specify any specific EU funded initiative. Our teams will allocate the suitable source of funding at a later stage in the assessment procedure.
