Limburg Startup Capital Fund
The Limburg Startup Capital Fund (LSCF) is a new fund for startups and innovative SMEs that contribute with their innovation to the main societal transitions of the coming years: energy, circularity, health and digitalization.
Two funds, tailored to your startup phase
The Limburg Startup Capital Fund (LSCF) covers with a mix of financial resources the development of your innovative
product, from idea to market and has two sub-instruments:
The Limburg Early Phase Fund (LVFF): with the LVFF we finance innovations - of which the feasibility has been demonstrated - in the initial phase of development (the so-called 'proof of concept' phase).
The Seed Fund Limburg (SFL): the SFL is intended to make the further development or growth of the innovation financially possible.
