LC Ventures seeks to partner with forward-looking founders exploring innovative ideas.

Founded in 2015, LC Ventures invests at pre-seed and seed stages in technology companies. LC Ventures investment in startups is followed by strategic and operational know-how as well as a carefully curated network of industry-leading players to help founders build their businesses. Our focus lays on software-only solutions.

With € 50M+ under management and 50+ portfolio companies, LC Ventures is emerging as one of the most active and hands-on VC firms in Portugal.

The investments to be made do not fall within the definition of 'Sustainable investment', provided for in Article 2(17) of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 November 2019, as the investments are aimed exclusively at their valuation potential and not at environmental objectives. The investments underlying this financial product do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. In this sense, sustainability risks are not integrated into the Collective Investment Undertaking's investment decisions, nor are their potential impacts on the financial product's performance assessed. It is also clarified, for the purposes of Articles 4(1)(b) and 6(1)(b) of the aforementioned regulation, that the reason for the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors not to be taken into account, nor to be intended to be taken into account, insofar as, currently, the publicly available information on sustainability is not sufficiently rigorous, unified and comparable to allow a correct assessment of the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors, making it difficult to define consistent sustainability indicators and determine ways of measuring them.
