Investment Thesis

DTU and partners believe Europe must do better at turning research into business, and that sustained, structured support can convert university-born ideas into high-growth companies. They created DTU SkyFactory as a dedicated, subsidiary-run “factory” to guide entrepreneurial companies through a multi-year (“three-to-five-year”) program that moves teams from startup stage toward scaleup, with the explicit goal of unlocking the scaling potential of DTU-based ventures.

Investment Focus

Who should take a closer look

PreSeed Ventures is most relevant for founders raising Seed and Growth rounds in Other, especially across Europe and Denmark.

Focus statement

Focused on commercializing DTU research into scalable companies, the initiative provides a three-to-five-year, hands-on scaling pathway for DTU-founded startups and aims to help about "10 percent of newly founded DTU-based companies unlock their full scaling potential."

Value Add

Operated as a subsidiary 'factory' (DTU SkyFactory) explicitly built to shepherd startups through a 3–5 year scaling process
Built and run by DTU together with ecosystem partners (PSV Foundry, DTU SciencePark, DTU Entrepreneurship and DTU Skylab), embedding deep university and regional support
Targeted, measurable ambition to convert a specific share of spinouts ("around 10 percent") into scaleups rather than broad, unfocused acceleration
Focus on research-to-business translation addressing a recognized continental gap: "Europe struggles to turn research into business."
