Nanoplasmas, Allcancode and BibeCoffee Machine Sophistication are the latest three startups that the Greek Uni.Fund adds to its portfolio, Greek media reported. The total investment is 850K euros (150K, 300K and 400K respectively), funds that will help the newcomers to further develop their products.
With these three investments, Uni.Fund moves up to a total of 10 startups that the fund has under their umbrella. Moreover, as stated by Katerina Pramatari, Partner at Uni.Fund, soon they will announce eight new investments that are already in a very advanced stage of agreement and are active in the areas of e-business, health and energy, including three companies from the field of research. This big “enlargement” follows after they received a large number of worthy proposals for funding.
“It is true that today, after 15 months of operation, we feel much more optimistic than at the beginning and this is the result of the really large number of valuable proposals for funding we have received. There is a great but “hidden” dynamic in the Greek ecosystem, which we wish to highlight. With this in mind, and taking into account the limited resources we have at the moment, we are determined to continue with the effort of new funding. The actions on our part have already begun in this direction and the response we find makes us even more optimistic “, said Mrs. Pramatari, startup.gr reported.
